  • Oneness, Religion, Humanity..

    The following is a Snipplet from my 'files'.. This is interpreted from Edgar Cayce's teachings

    Thoughts on Oneness, Religion, and humanity..

    One of the great ironies of human nature is the fact that the very structure
    intended to enrich our relationship with God is the one thing which divides
    us most as a human family. For countless eons, more wars have been fought on
    religious principles than for any other reason. Even to this day, wars,
    bloodshed, political battles, and countless examples of our inhumanity to one another
    are commonplace as one group tries to instill (or enforce) its belief
    systems, its politics, or the supremacy of its God onto the lives of others.

    These conflicts are not simply between various religions but are also within
    each denomination. There are sects within Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism,
    Hinduism, Islam-within every religion!-many convinced that they are just a
    little more right than anyone else. Even various churches, temples, and
    synagogues have found differences with other members of their own sect who
    have somehow fallen away from the "original" or the "true" faith.

    In addition to separating people from one another, these conflicts have also
    caused individuals to become disillusioned with religion-some even becoming
    convinced that religion is a waste of time. Too often, the result has been
    that people have given up their faith in God because of their disappointment
    in humankind.

    Regardless of the name we call God or the religion on earth that we
    feel drawn to, there is but one Creator, one Source, one Law.

    Oneness as a force implies that all things are interrelated. Every one of us
    has a connection to one another, the earth, the universe, and to God. This
    one force is a force for good which is attempting to bring the spirituality
    of the Creator into the earth. 
    In terms of spirituality, the concept of oneness suggests that God is not
    limited to expressing through one religion alone. Instead, the Creator
    manifests in individuals' lives because of their faith and because of their
    relationship to the spiritual Source, not because of their specific
    religion.

    Thoughts?

  • Interesting ideas, I like it! I believe a bit of everything is true, so this fits me perfectly! Thank you!

  • kindly said, all of this.  this is close or similar to my thinking on the matter(s).  I do think there is a spiritual facet of all of us which needs expression/sharing.  when we find a welcoming and permissive environment in which to pursue our own relationship with the spiritual One, or God, or the spiritual nature in all of us, it seems to me that everyone would do so, in their own way.

    we really are all interconnected, and one.
