Religion | Part 3 | The Way of the Livingness as a religion
The origins of Religion is to ‘re-connect’, ‘re-turn’ or ‘re-bind’.
|
If we accept that, then religion is simply living in connection with your own inner-most heart. No bells, no whistles, and certainly no giving away of your power. Just connecting with what you know to be your inner-most truth, and living that truth. Or, taking the meaning as to ‘re-turn’, it denotes a return to something we already have, and already are.
As we connect with the inner-most heart, we come to know as a fact that we are actually superb, Divine beings, and that there is an enormous amount of love available to us – to be felt in our body and expressed. As we align with this more and more, and give our inner-most permission to express, we reclaim our right to live as that in the world. By doing so, we open up the way to all others around us to do the same. |
As Serge presents -- "there are enough natural wonders that surround and keep reminding us of the obvious marvels that cannot be shrugged off by any explanation that is less than accepting of a much higher order that is ordering it all. Whether one calls it 'God' or by any other form of equally acknowledging awe, there is most certainly a stupendous magnificence that is everywhere and beyond everywhere. We need only look with our entire body to see what it (our body) belongs to when it looks out at all it belongs to. As one discovers more and more, by, and only by the true Will to want to know, and that Will being one that is born out of or seeded forth by an earnestness that possess no pre-conceptions, conditions, beliefs and or ideals of what one needs to find, there will be found, or in-truth, re-discovered, a livingness of ever evolving Divine wisdom and knowledge that is not only stupendous by its essence, it is, by its essence, you, the real you."

To live one’s own natural Divinity does not mean living in a loin cloth in the far off East, or parking oneself in a cloister/temple/other sacred building, cut off from the world. Divinity is the-all – and thus it is to be lived right here, in society – where family life, work, relationships and all the comings and goings of life are part of it, and things we can choose to bring Divine expression to, or not.
|
Divine expression simply means love – we can all do that – be love in life, with ourselves and others equally so. It is something we have the free-will to choose, as and when we are ready to do so.
Our choice to be truly religious is simply to live a life of love – where your own inner-most heart is your teacher, your guiding light and the source of all you could ever need. |
When one lives that way, it provides a reflection for all others to follow… and so it become possible for them.
Religion is a deeply sacred term, denoting the fact that each and every human being is equal, and equally love. |
Irrespective of skin colour, country of birth, class or status, level of wealth, culture, background, or what we do in life, each and every person, on the inside, is identical --- the spark that lives within one, is identical to the spark that lives within any other.
Our choice, within all of this, is simply whether to express from that spark, or not. Religion, is to simply live in connection with the spark. That is all.
And yet ... we cannot underestimate the power of that choice – as choosing to express that Divinity and to show others through the love realised in your own body that we are all actually so much more than what we currently see, is deeply inspiring, as it provides a reflection to another that connecting with something so much more is very, very possible, and actually simple to live on an everyday basis.
Earth is not Heaven and nor will we make it so. However, we can certainly express the love that we are here, and make our lives about that.
