Religiously Spiritual

There’s no spirituality in religion as there’s no religion in spirituality, One is religiously unspiritual The other, spiritually unreligious! The gods of man’s many religions are not the God of spirituality, One is the fallacy of the mind The other is the understanding of consciousness; One exerts utmost influence, in spite of its indisputable lack of authentication, The other, addresses our sense of rectitude which alone can help us see the truth; One is sought outside of oneself The other dwells within one’s self. The gods of man’s religions are ephemeral bounded by the mechanics of one’s conviction, one’s own perception, prejudices and are based on illogical contentions, fed on a daily diet of rites and rituals fantastic myths and bombastic lies. Religion is designed by man and is beset with fear, greed, lust, guilt, and is self-serving, Over-run by power and selfishness akin to any system of tyranny, repression, totalitarianism, despotism and absolute rule. God of spirituality is universal— Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent. When you can see God everywhere, In the magnificent sunrises and sunsets, In the majestic mountains and the serene valleys, In the soul-stirring seas, and the awe-inspiring heavens In man’s loves and noble achievements, Why do we need to be told what to believe? How to live our lives? Or what happen to us after we die? With our intuitive thinking, call it commonsense, We all can attain the truth and wisdom of living. ~05/20/21 ~Contest: Religion or Spirituality ~Sponsor: Unseeking Seeker
