On Religion
An old priest said: ‘Speak to us of Religion.’
And the Prophet replied:
‘Have I ever spoken to you of anything else?
Isn’t everything a religion in its own special way,
Because it’s a gift from our Creator and connects us
With Him/Her, no matter what our world’s religions
Have ever told us about who or what God is.
God is the wonder and surprise human spirit/souls experience,
For example when their hands are hewing a stone
Or attending to a weaving loom.
‘Who can separate their faith from their actions
Or their beliefs from their occupations?
Who can spend their daily hours and say:
‘This part of me is for God and that for myself.
This is for my spirit/soul and that for my physical body?’
All hours of any given lifetime are
Wings on which our spirit/soul is working
Its way through space and time.
For a long time without being aware of what we are doing,
We are experiencing every part of our being.
Effortlessly, we change from our God or Christ nature
To our earthly personality, its counterpart.
‘If we wear our morality only as our best garment
When we attend church on Sundays,
There is no way of getting any idea
Of what the concept of God truly means.
For as long as someone’s conduct is limited by
The dogma and creed of one religion or another,
Their soul’s songbird is like being trapped in a cage.
Nobody can sing their finest songs from behind wires and bars.
And for as long as someone’s worshipping is but a window
That they open and shut at their will,
It’s impossible for them to experience
The constantly open windows of
Every human being’s spirit/soul’s true home,
The world of spirit or light.
‘The Aquarian age brings the recognition for the whole of humankind
That everybody’s daily life is the temple of the only true religion,
Of love and integrity, honesty and truth.
Let’s enjoy and made good use of everything that we,
Hand in hand with God and the Angels,
Have brought into being, whether something
Is a necessity or serves our delight.
Each night, before going into dreamtime,
Lets leave our mistakes behind because
They were nothing but lessons the past
Instead, rise on the wings of the knowledge
Our spirit guides and helpers are intuitively bringing us.
Let’s take our whole world and everything that shares it with us
Into the loving arms of the Great Father/Mother of all life.
Embrace humankind’s highest hopes, dreams and aspiration
Into the spirit realm, so they can intuitively show
Us how we can contribute to fulfilling them.
‘Together with God and the Angels,
And all other spirit friends and helpers,
Lets lift ourselves on the wings of honesty and truth
Into the greater freedom of the Aquarian age,
Finding out who and what our Creator truly is by
Discovering the higher and highest realities of our
Earthly existence and it’s inner spiritual background.
Let’s stop allowing ourselves to be led by our noses
And following like sheep the information spread by
Our world’s troublemakers and scaremonger,
As well as other things that were written a long time ago,
Are outdated and are in need of reviewing, now.
‘The religion of the Aquarian age is of the heart.
For some time by now it has been working hard on
Explaining to all human beings, that
Independent of colour, race or creed, every one of them
Is taking part in the earthly school of life,
To help the grow in wisdom and understanding of
The true nature of God, their own and their world.
The belief systems of the past were not really religions.
The word means connecting with God and all they did
Was purposely keeping us away from discovering
Who and what God truly is and who we are.
Fortunately, by now this has reached its end.
‘The Great Father/Mother of all life’s
God and Goddess aspects
Are as very much alive in every one of us,
As well as our children and everybody else.
And when we gaze into space, especially at night,
To our delight we discover that even with
Every star and cloud our Divine parents are embracing
Everything that takes part in our world and that
With the same loving care with which they are attending
To the rest of the whole of their Creation.
‘Every ray of sunshine and drop of rain
That touches the Earth, comforts, blesses and heals
Humankind and our whole world.
In every flower, leave and blade of grass
God and Goddess are smiling.
The branches of our trees, like their hands and arms,
Are waving to us and the wind
Whispers words of healing and peace.
Anyone who is aware of their presence can hear
What they are telling our world about
The religion of the Aquarian age:
‘There is only one religion, the religion of love.
There is only one country, the whole of Mother Earth.
There is only one race and chosen people, the whole of humankind.
There is only one gender, who is androgynous, whole and holy.
There is only one language, the language of the heart.
And there is only one God, the God of love,
The Great Father/Mother of all life.
And their only born Son/Daughter.
They are one Holy Trinity, who is
Omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.’
