The Role of Religion

“However many holy words you read,
However many you speak,
What good will they do you
If you do not act upon them?”
Buddha

“The essence of all religions is love,
compassion, and tolerance.
Kindness is my true religion.
The clear proof of a person’s love of
God is if that person genuinely
shows love to fellow human beings.”
The Dalai Lama

“Whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy — meditate on these things.”
Paul the Apostle

If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Corinthians 13:1-7

The role of religion is simple; teach only love. Should a religious organization retain past doctrines that inhibit or prevent the teaching of love in all areas, then that doctrine should be replaced quickly with doctrines of Love. Getting closer to God is to get closer to His Unconditional Love.

Our Light

Light is the key. Vibration. Pure vibration. The higher the frequency the more subtle the manifestation. Mediums speak of vibratory rates and the coarser vibrations correspond to the worlds and individuals residing in them who are closer to earthly existence in their vibratory being.

The beings of light who appear the brightest to those who encounter them are the more evolved and loving types. Also the most knowledgeable. Where did they get their knowledge? Why it’s free. Free for the asking. However, one who seeks this knowledge must comply with the dictates of decency. Being a good person is the requirement. What’s to be done with the knowledge once it’s been acquired? Will it be used for the benefit of all or to the detriment of others?

Ground rules have been laid. Treat those whom you meet with the same respect you would have them treat you. Be always kind and loving. Try to understand what others are going through. Never deny a request for help unless acquiescing will cause the more harm. Be perfect in the way you conduct yourself as best you can given your limited knowledge.

Consider that we are all equal in our need for respect. Consider even though it might not seem proper now to our earthy temporal sense, we should hold a murderer in the same esteem as the most loving among us. Yes, he deserves the same respect; yet how we show it is important. Treating a murderer so that she would continue to behave in the same way she had been would not be very respectful of her needs. She needs to grow in understanding to come closer to perfection as do we all. The most ignorant among us generally do not understand the harm they do to others when they act out of this ignorance. And when they do understand the harm they do its usual cause is a desire for personal gain. (They fail to understand that harm to others is harm to them.)

Let us imagine, since we must (we don’t yet see it for real), how we will appear to each other in our perfected form as we exist in the future. Our future as companions of God. In our imagination we are all obviously equal in our worth as beings of light. Since we are equal in perfection for an eternity, the eternity which transcends this temporal world, that is infinitely larger than the finite time we spend as mortal beings. So in any comparison between us we would naturally ignore that mortal time span. HOWEVER LONG IT MAY TAKE EACH OF US INDIVIDUALLY TO REACH THAT STATE OF PERFECTION!

Vote for America

Life is not always fair and equal. People are born with diverse skills. We in America follow the rule of law as set forth by the Constitution. But bullies and ego driven people don’t always follow the laws of our land. The bullies want to change our laws to get what they want and not what is good for the American people. Sometimes they tell their lies long and strong enough to convince others they are right. “Me First” is their slogan. “What I decide is the best for all Americans.”

History tells us different. Would be dictators and their party have always come to disastrous results for the whole of their country. The poor suffer the most, the rich gain the most, and the dictator is always among the rich.

For America’s sake hold dear to the rule of law, honor the Constitution, our forefathers knew what they were about. Please let the bullies know you disapprove and always vote for the rule of law. Stop the would be dictator now.

Tearing Down Walls

One of the scariest things I’ve ever done in my life is tearing down the walls I’d been building around me over the years. And now, as from time to time I dare to take a careful look over the edges of my fortress, I’m completely astonished by what I see. I see a world full of beautiful benevolent and loving people, kind and positive towards me and each other. And I often see and feel what I call a sea of love. It seems to be radiating to every corner of the world and it’s warming my body and soul like the sunshine. Don’t look too far, It’s here and now, in this world.

And I wish this love for you all,
Love, Joost
