The Tyranny of Religion - A Self Imposed Curse

I once met a man who had convinced millions he was a God.

My time in believing he was something extraordinary was around 9 months.

And then my eyes were opened; I realised how easy it is for simple, craving folk to be duped into believing and to be beholden to a creation of manipulation. Unlike many I did not have an upbringing in a conventional 'church', so this realisation was fascinating and totally empowering.

My religious instruction came from a heart felt and conveyed world view my parents engendered. Although faulty in parts, it certainly had its intentions in loving kindness. It was to be much later in life I became witness to devotion that merged solidly into blind faith and mind control.

These are strong words, however I have learned religion per se is one massive control system that through its power brokers and variations on a theme, subjects, most times, willing participant into a state of less, guilt ridden impoverishment and a receptacle of some outside influence that many times has no real relationship to things spiritual other than in name.

However this man uttered one phrase I hold to me to this day. As with most things that came from his mouth they were definitively not his own, though accredited to him. The phrase was:

"It is good to be born into a religion but for God's sake do not die in one."

Today the world is locked into a struggle greater than we have ever experienced. One that is heightened and indeed its odds increased, because of and through the extraordinary power to communicate we have all embraced and been fed.

This struggle is one of domination for our minds, both collective and individual.

Previously the sheeple went to church, mosque, temple or wherever and were told to believe in whatever deity they were fed. Ignorance and non critical thinking led them to fear, a fear increased by descriptions of vengeful gods and terrible consequences. That fear was fed by those dishing out the dose of religious dogma and we ended up having a creed usurped by the state as well as the church.

Values were cemented in this doctrine. The entrapment of beings almost complete.

That religion did have a positive focus for many, in as much as it acted and still acts as a positive focus, albeit highly tainted and misunderstood, has led to a great degree of compliance in all things seen as daily life.

It has also given rise to major disconnects in truly comprehending our position in the great game of life. For many this means we become and accept our disempowerment, subservience and enslavement to a system that has anything but our best interests at heart.

Today we are faced with the rise and final push, so far, of the psychopathic power platform. The accreditation of individuals, placed in positions of responsibility and dominion, yet with their tendencies allowed to run rampant through a sea of ignorance and blind faith, inculcated by religion, mass media mind control and the threat of ultimate annihilation by an unseen, unknown yet terrifyingly real threat to the general people of earth.

Whilst blinded by these lies, frozen in their deceitful headlamps, we find many running for the spiritual panacea - be it New Age, Catholic, Pagan, Moslem, Buddhist, Ascended Mastery or any other 'systemic' life raft.

What we are all running away from is our Self.

Fear is our main threat and the one so far removed from Love, we are finding ourselves spinning in circles of confusion, credited and discredited at one and the same time, yet all the time being fed mixed messages that inevitably lead us to complete paranoia, hopelessness, devoid of the will to know ourselves any more and at a point where any great Master, Godhead, Leader can appear and seem to be 'The Answer' to all our problems.

The extra-terrestial solution is propagated. The 2012 phenomenon will come and go as all these things do with those believing an enormous shift has occurred, those that believe those that believe this are crazy and then there are those that have no idea at all what they believe and just sit and become even more brainwashed by TV and Media and are happy for others to rule their lives.

Only when we start to seriously question ourselves, doubt the very facts and beliefs we are fed, use our critical faculties to determine what is truth, what is fact and what is what...will we be anywhere near growing in our evolutionary process.

Trial and error is a great place to start. If it feels right, then take full responsibility for running with it, if it then subsequently fails you, recognise why, let it go and/or transform the experience, learn from it and move forward.

Nothing is lost from experience and everything is to be gained. Take full responsibility for everything you do, think and say and wisdom will seep into what may have been previously a very befuddled thought process.

Remember there is a sell by date to everything. Our lives, our loves and our being. The freshest and most complete is the present. Live it, know it, experience it and celebrate it.

and remember.... you are the only one who truly is going to recognise your divinity. When that moment arrives, it was not down to religion, it was not down to the intercession of any other, it was totally because you have arrived at the point were you love yourself completely, unreservedly and without a trace of less or fear of failure....

Hallelujia! ......
