RELIGIONS AND THE UNIVERSAL TRUTH

Knowing God is the purpose of human existence. When you get this, you’re at peace. The search is over. Ego-driven expectations disappear. Life begins to be genuinely celebrated.

We show up for one reason and one reason only: to walk with God, or union with Divine.

While most religions seem to start out right — that is, with the purpose of helping people know and feel connected to themselves, to life, to the Divine — it isn’t long before they turn spiritual grants into religious loans that must be repaid with obligations and offerings, duties and doctrines, debates and disagreements, and, in the not-too-distant-past, violence and bloodshed against anyone who disagreed. This extreme is still the modus operandi with some religions.

Instead of encouraging people to experience their full humanity, religion leads people to deny their humanity and so become more and more insane.

“The word ‘enlightenment’ conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment. It is really just your natural state of felt oneness with Being.”

Eckhart Tolle.
