All religions are perspective\u2019s of the truth, dogma is man\u2019s law, and yet we are evolving past laws that inhibit the feminine to grow and blossom and be nurtured within the religious dogma. \u00a0Most people are turned off by religions who are failing to grow with the evolution of consciousness. \u00a0Most religion has worked hard to cut our cords from ourselves by creating guilt. Once someone experiences guilt, they are cut off from their heart, and feel a sense of loneliness and attack from out there. \u00a0They then fail to experience the joy they are, because they feel such a disconnect from themselves that they suffer. \u00a0Stories fed to them by the writings, by ego, by man\u2019s power over another, in religion. \u00a0It is outdated, power over another is ego, not love, not unconditional love. Excluding woman, gays, is ego, not love. \u00a0The very essence of existence is creation, acceptance, and balance.<\/p>\n

We are in a wonderful period where most people are becoming conscious of consciousness and because of this they are allowing the shift to take place on this planet which is much needed. Guilt has been a wonderful tool of power by most religions, I have power over you and you can\u2019t do anything until you are saved. But you can\u2019t be saved until you see your sin\u2019s, which were created before you came here. Crazy, insane, talk.<\/p>\n

Consciousness is a motion activated by our desire (emotion). \u00a0That desire to create is feminine.. \u00a0All religions that are based on the masculine and leave out the feminine are falling away, and the real church is coming forward. Which is Mother nature, the great Mother, the feminine, the creator, and it is what we tap into when we meditate and pray. \u00a0Our religion is wholeness, inclusion, unconditional love, forgiveness, understanding, compassion, kindness, and joy, which every master has discovered for herself\/himself, and then entered into service. \u00a0So the discovery is made within first then we bring it out. \u00a0It is difficult to become a Yoga instructor if you do not understand within first for example, Yoga is not about the body only and how you look, it is about the merging of the spiritual\/human, feminine\/masculine, the whole of nature as your life. To recognize existence as your life and the whole, that you belong, exist in it. \u00a0Nature teaches us our nature. \u00a0 \u00a0You treat others kindly and receive kindness. \u00a0Our new religion is spiritual, it is the inner essence in ourselves coming together to celebrate with its essence outside. Inner and outer are one. True empowerment.<\/p>\n

We are both spiritual and human in nature, but most people have been cut off from their source through religion, school, politics, more or less a conditional society based on struggle, punishment \u00a0to achieve happiness. Fear has been the religion of our time, and fear is an opinion of consciousness. \u00a0As this consciousness is evolving and more people are connecting to the singular energy, we are discovering that the Temples which we have yearned for out there is really located in here, we call it contemplation (With Temple), which means we are Temples of God\/Goddess consciousness inside, but all great temples must be discovered and so people are going in to discover their inner beauty, the inner existence.<\/p>\n

Now to the point of negating ourselves to focus on positive feelings or feeling the source, I disagree with your assessment. \u00a0As people connect to the source they have to deal with their stuff, and everyone has too. \u00a0That is part of coming home. \u00a0We have tools for this called forgiveness, compassion, kindness, for ourselves and others. \u00a0When you have positive, you will have negative, but in a spiritual practice as you evolve then you begin to understand that Life Is and the charge of self-help positive\/negative is helpful for the beginning of the road map, but becomes laughable as you grow. \u00a0 We create hell or heaven now, and then tell stories about it. \u00a0It is quite laughable that we forgot that we created religion, dogma, which were and are very effective for the beginner. \u00a0But people now are yearning to merge feminine and masculine, they are thriving for wholeness more than anything, they are craving to just be themselves, and most religions are based on looking for a God out there, life out there, a man out there, and yet the Temple is within. The temple is quiet and simple, but in the quiet comes great works that help humanity not just the self. We are all channels of consciousness, learning to get out of the way of ourselves; which take tremendous dedication and humility.<\/p>\n

As a whole we are re-creating what we have created. \u00a0The numbers of people who are spiritual in nature are coming home and shifting the old ways. Soon most religions who exclude gays, woman, freedom, will crumble because they don\u2019t match the consciousness of inclusion. In our individual relationships with ourselves we are examining our exclusion within ourselves and with friends and family. Exclusion or ME living is falling away. A good example is I am recently divorced, which in most religions is frowned upon and devalued but what I know is that I am never divorced from consciousness, so it is made up by man.<\/p>\n
