The fact that our religious history has been so convoluted and distorted, imbued with political tactics (primarily fear driven), as people throughout history falsely bought into the belief that we live under a spiritual dictatorship (as defined by the principle of religion) - giving up our fundamental right, the Law of Freewill. You see… it’s all a mater of perspective, and I consciously CHOOSE not to be driven by a very limited perspective, as so can anyone!

Having said that, a more spiritual explanation of my original statement would simply mean that the “power” that we seek, via religious institutions, can not be realized within one place, but is all encompassing- without a definitive beginning or end… the source of our cosmology is truly infinite! We as humans have fragmented the whole, as many religions have and continue to propagate separatism, and therefore dueling forces- this is a man made/egotistical (but not limited to his species alone) concept, bastardized “truths” as perceived from this vantage point, which is a mirrored expression within this reality that we ALLOW to govern us base out of fear = the collective unconscious.

We can break that chain and liberate the soul within an instant… ALL within an instant!

“Religion: The outward act or form by which men indicate their recognition of the existence of a god or of gods having power over their destiny, to whom obedience, service, and honor are due; the feeling or expression of human love, fear, or awe of some superhuman and overruling power, whether by profession of belief, by observance of rites and ceremonies, or by the conduct of life; a system of faith and worship; a manifestation of piety; as, ethical religions; monotheistic religions; natural religion; revealed religion; the religion of the Jews; the religion of idol worshipers.”

This is NOT to say that all the various religious belief systems do not contain elements of truth, however; the vast majority can not seem to separate the ego mind that has tainted so many scriptures, but more importantly, it has turned into a distraction, keeping human spiritual evolution down by drawing human focus outward rather than seeking all truth within.

These truths that we see time and time again (with many interpretations), therein emphasized by various metaphysical and eastern systems of belief that are more closely accurate (less adulterated), in my opinion. I AM all that I AM.

In trying to debate the cosmology of our origins in the guise of religion, it would be advantageous to intend NOT to assume, a trapping all of us fall prey to from time to time, the gross assumptions we haphazardly indulge in out of convenience (myself included) which can be misguiding and insidious. I am not downplaying the validity of those truths within this framework we navigate through, but merely deemphasizing undue focus; speaking from the vantage of an “ultimate perspective” that all have access too, devoid of all personal/group agendas, human or otherwise…

“Mind- the Thing, Sprit, Causation- is beyond, and yet not beyond, our grasp. Beyond, in that it is so big: within, in that wherever we grasp at it, we are IT to the extent that we grasp It: but, since It is Infinite, we can never encompass It.

Mind comes under two classifications. There are not two minds, but rather two names employed in describing states of consciousness: the objective, or conscious and the subjective, or unconscious. We think of the conscious state as our conscious use of mind. The subconscious (or subjective) state of mind- sometimes called the unconscious state- is part of the mind which is set in motion as a creative thing by the conscious state.

“Subjective Mind,” we say; “In the Subjective Mind of man, we find a law obeying his word, the servant of his spirit. Suggestion has proved that the subconscious mind acts upon our thoughts. It is the mental law of our being, and the creative factor within us. It is unnecessary, at this point, to go into all the details of the subjective Mind and it’s mode of action: it is enough to say that within us is a mental law working out the will and purpose of our conscious thoughts. This can be no other than our individual use of that Greater SUBJECTIVE MIND, which is the seat of all mental law of action, and is ‘The servant of the Eternal Spirit throughout the ages’”

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
