This document discusses the declining influence of religion in America and the need to fill the resulting gap with spiritual awakening. It argues that simply memorizing scriptures is not enough and that proselytizing turns people off. True spirituality is found through meditation, opening one's heart and mind, and questioning beyond religious texts. All religions get stuck in traps of missing one's true self, and a wordless spiritual path focused on love and awareness is preferable to following any particular religion's doctrines.

1. Suicide of Religion
January 5, 2022
Let’s ‘cut to the chase’. The seeming secularization of
America in a 'reset' is not a problem, unless a mindful,
heartfulness into a great awakening doesn't
fi
ll the gap of
religion being downplayed into meaninglessness. Are the people up for that? Can the masses let go and
raise consciousness in a positive way? Is memorizing scriptures in a holy book going to get you to some
nirvana. Maybe this is nirvana, at least sometimes, yet purgatory most of the time. And, a Hell for all
sometimes, but especially for those facing a karma for their ‘sins’.
Religions are a way of life, and are really a necessity at this time of human development, in a way just as adherence
is to the constitution. Structures to follow are a guide or rules to maintain a harmony and a common sense for most
everything. For the general population to be lukewarm about life’s written scriptures and instead following a path,
leading nowhere and/or to a place no one would choose is to ‘miss the mark’ of the greatest moment in history.
Proselytizing to others is a turno
ff
to most listeners who have no interest in listening. Most listen because they are
not accustomed to smiling and walking away as they don’t want to be ‘discourteous’. It’s a mind thing of the
proselytizer to satisfy their ego at another expense of having to listen. The one that pushes a sales
pitch for conversion, that in the past barely worked, becomes even further away in this fast
moving, developing technological world. Needing the scripture of an ancient book, is an old
attempted way to convert, while connecting to the heart and common sense is ful
fi
lling an intent to
fi
nd the quiet space within doesn’t need any ones words.
Making language a mind
fi
eld for agenda of both control and
money is to trick people into being lemmings without common
sense intelligence. To follow an illusion that is purported to be the
word of god, may well have merit for the majority, but escaping
from that mixed bag of truth and lies into a world of awareness
and love is a spiritual pathless path. The path of ‘open eyes, heart,
and questioning’ is a religiousness apart from all ‘holy scripture’.
All religions today are stuck in a trap of ‘quicksand’ that is a destination of missing
who you really are, missing the fruits of bliss and joy that come as a reward for
those deeply following a wordless spiritual path. There is a technique to unhook or
detach from the negatives of the past that allows an open window of seeing who
you really are inside - Meditation.
Every new arrival into any society is given mother’s milk, stirred and shaken, with a su
ffi
cient dose of “America the
Beautiful” or “God bless Jesus,” or whatever is needed to convey the emotional essence of the fairy tale. The child
is helpless. To survive, swallowing the milk is choiceless, no matter how contaminated. The same was done to the
mother when she was also small and helpless. Soon, more and more details are added to embellish the fairy tale
and establish its “truth.” Every culture has its own version. One society might insist that there is a God in the sky
who is superior to all and everything. That he has a “son” who can walk on water as proof of his superiority over his
sheep. That his earthly lieutenants are superior to ordinary sinners. That even a God-fearing sinner is superior to any
non-believer. Instead,

nd the deep love within as a guide.
