Never rest upon your ideas and beliefs, or your mind will close and become dark, and you will just become another adversary in a world of adversaries. You will become partisan. You will have enemies. You will build your faith around your enemies. You will think that the enemies of God are your enemies, and you will assign them to people you do not like or understand. Dying for your beliefs, killing others for your beliefs is an abomination in the name of God. It is sickness. It is mental illness, affecting large populations of people. The true believer in God does not do these things. Religious fundamentalism will just fight and struggle, destroy and alienate. This is not the Will of the Creator. Religion is meant to open your heart, not to fixate your mind. You must be compassionate. You must be tolerant. You must learn about others understanding. You must see that the Great Faith is beyond religious belief alone.
Human spirituality has been limited to this world and to local regions within this world, and to the history of those regions and those races and those peoples. But Greater Community Spirituality is a spirituality of the entire universe.
It is time to outgrow creation stories and the end of the world ideas, for reality exists so far beyond these things. It is time now to look to the heavens, to contemplate the great expanse of the universe and to reconsider your fundamental beliefs and ideas, if they have been formulated at all. You cannot be a primitive people with primitive ideas
You may pray to God. You may fall down on your knees and prostrate yourself in the temple or in the mosque or the church. But until you begin to carry out God’s Work that is meant for you to carry out, you will not understand the real nature of your spiritual reality.
