Realization & The World Religions Christianity Petro—Peter means stone Jesus made a pun: Upon this stone I build my church Unto you I give the keys to the Kingdom Hence Peter—The First Pope Jesus “He is my Rock and Salvation” Judaism The Mitzvah—God blesses every good deed The Buddha sits under a bode tree, Surrounded by swirling forces of greed, temptation, and evil intent Desires which are the source of all suffering Through meditation he extinguishes these desires like he would a fire What remains is the pure, ecstatic bliss of endless, inextinguishable love Krishna’s Dance represents the lifeforce constant change and flux The vital, joyous force, casting off our collective part of painful illusion, and sweeping us ever onward in an endless, journey—Nirvana Islam Allah—The One and only God—Allah is good Muslims worship the God of Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and Jesus Peace be upon them all. However, it is certainly true that Jews, Christians and Muslims all have different concepts of Almighty God Realization From my deepest self I reveal an emotional rapture of the combined sacred oneness Enamored in love is how I truly feel note: Monotheistic religion starts at the core wherein one God created the world and its people because He loved them! Polytheistic religions also have love at their core. AD 60 or 70 first known Christian writings 1600's Christian Bible, King James time Before that Pagan Nature Worship

Yes, it can all be so confusing all these different religions . All we can be sure of is that there is a creator who wants love to rule our hearts. GREAT writing.

This is an excellent write Anaya ! You have assimilated the essence of every religion and manifested your thoughts in a terse and pithy style. I too believe in the 'combined sacred oneness". This goes into my FAV.

Mothers, fathers, and their children seldom share the exact same beliefs no matter what their religion might be, proving a child's relationship with their god is no different than with a parent . . . .nice presentation! Aloha!

a youth’s longing for peace of mind and sense of belonging. The road is long, painful, and circuitous. A troubled childhood, school bullies, a dubious religious sect, and unscrupulous mental health professionals, make the journey seem futile. Finding wisdom, purpose and sense of belonging are finally attained from lessons learned and taken to heart...thank you Rico, Aloha!

So many religions Anaya, we should all show respects to those of different faiths. Not one true religion promotes violence against another. A shame some interpret the teachings of their religion to inflict violence on what they see as a non believer who does not share their views. Tom

Yes, Pangie, my point here is that religion starts at the core wherein one God created the world and its people because He loved them! :)

For Tom. One religion teaches that a specific religion’s members are Pigs! Therefore to kill anyone of that faith is acceptable and rewarded with cash. And their favorite book is Mein Kampf. Their goal is to destroy them all. The truth needs to be told Tom. It’s no interpretation.This group cheered when 9/11 occurred, and people of many Faiths perished. They danced and have kids candy? That is hatred not religion.Pangie
