subject: Religious Teachings Are Not To Be Set In Stone, They Are To Empower You To Become More [print this page] A little girl went to her grandmother and asked her why do so many grownups fight over their opinions of God? She told her grandmother that God loves everyone, so why fight? Her grandmother, who lived thru many years of family arguing, simply told her that it was more important to appear to have won than to see the beauty of God's love.
When we see a child know what is true and what is useless, it is then that all the knowledge we accumulate has little use to empower us. Knowledge is power only when you take away your need to be right, because only then can you see clearly.
Religions have many teachings and yet they do not understand how much time is wasted in trying to control people by keeping the teachings set in stone. Religious teachings are given to the human world in an effort to help each grow according to their needs to understand something.
The true purpose of a teaching is to set you free and not to control you. The only way to become empowered by a teaching is to allow the teaching to be a stepping-stone for more growth and not four walls that entraps you within.
Many people have received teachings from the Spiritual Realm and have often shared them with the world. This is why we have become more and more aware of the true spiritual identities we all have within. However, thru the ages many of the teachings and the teachers have battled with their own egos in which they take on the belief that they have all the answers.
The ego that causes the teacher to believe they have all the answers or the final answer is why we still loose the ability to rise higher. When we take on this belief, we stop any higher understanding we could receive from within our own being.
The Age of Aquarius is not the age for the individual hero but for a joint effort in which humanity becomes empowered as a community. We must first understand that when a teaching is presented to us, it becomes living, and breathing. The teaching speaks to our individual heart and we interpret it according to how we see our world.
This is how a teaching empowers us to become more, to become independent yet still of the whole. Think of the body and how each part has a unique understanding of it's responsibility to the whole, and yet with a group effort the parts raise up the whole as one.
You are a child of the Living God, who loves you unconditionally and you are to hear the teachings according to your true identity and the reason you have come to earth at this time. Don't divide yourself from your brother or sister when you understand something differently but unite by accepting that we are all different.
Our differences allow us to transform our world when we work together for one cause. Our individuality is the most precious gift given to us by God. We are individual co-creators who have God living within us. We each have come to earth with unique God-flames to share with the world and we see things according to how we need to see them.
When someone takes away your personal power of your unique individuality by controlling you with a teaching, they also stop the flow of Unconditional Love that God has sent thru you. We must be the individuals we came to be. We cannot be afraid to make a mistake and refuse to connect to our inner creativity.
God multiplies our talents. If we refuse to share them or send them into the world then we will never be any more than what we currently are today. Becoming submissive to a teaching instead of allowing ourselves to become more from it, traps the teaching in stone and stops our growth.
The one major block in our spiritual growth is found in how we see ourselves when we receive a higher teaching. This alone can stop the human race from rising out of our dilemma. If a teacher could receive a teaching and leave behind the ego, that teacher could help us.
In other words when a teaching causes us to inflate ourselves and we believe that we can define ourselves by overpowering others, the potential for growth diminishes. In order for our world to begin to rise above the mindset of religions that divide us we must come into unity with one another and put away the need to be in the spotlight.
When we stop warring amongst each other we will find that the teachings that have been given throughout the history of mankind, have more wisdom to share with us even now. They are living and breathing, waiting to give a higher understanding today.
Let us see that the most important part of life on earth is seeking to raise the whole, the All and not in seeking to raise up the self. For when we do, it is then we lay aside our differences and the teachings empower us to become more. Change will happen when we understand how powerful our Oneness is.
We become more of who we are as spiritual beings, the joy we experience will go beyond what we ever imagined. Putting away the need to raise up yourself, will allow you to see the world thru the eyes of God's love, and you will find a greater peace in which you can grow.
