Religion and God are not the Same Thing

Religion and God are not the same thing. One exists to control humans and make money off them. The real ‘God’ only seeks to make men wise.  Religion makes you think you understand God so you think you can control how life will turn out if you follow the ‘right’ path.  But religion only represent someone’s depiction of THEIR God. 

We are here to LEARN to love our neighbors. To achieve oneness of mind, a sameness in understanding of life experiences for all humankind.

We are here to slowly eliminate all differences between one person and another--it cannot be done in one lifetime.

Seeing is not believing. "To the authentic all things are untainted and have beauty. But to those who are cynical or closed-minded, nothing is genuine. Their mind and conscience are spoiled with distrust" (Titus 1:15).

Children are adorable because we love to see the beauty of their innocence. But on the trip to adulthood the way a person looks at life and the world is altered. With maturity, people become distrustful, sophisticated, competitive, cosmopolitan, cynical, suspicious, sarcastic, prejudiced, self-centered, and uninvolved. It all drives people apart and creates fear, not adulthood. That is not God-like.

Transformations of any kind (to adulthood, from adversity, to success, etc.), are not accomplished by our effort to get ahead in life, but by the Spirit in us.  The world doesn’t understand that when we stop thinking success is our own doing, and begin to sense the interdependence and collective conscience in us right now, we behold the miracles, or “successes” all around. That IS God-like.
