I would be #trapped by a #religion… But the way my #spirituality is set up.. #LetMeExplain: What is the Difference Between #Religion and #Spirituality? Religion keep us from seeing ourselves as a manifestation of #God the way a wave is an extension of an ocean. Moving beyond religion leads us to the greatest #freedom we can know: the freedom to be who we are — creative agents for justice and compassion. Religion is often about who’s in and who’s out, creating a worldview steeped in “us against them.” Spirituality rejects this #dualism and speaks of us and them. Religion is a #manmade device and is often about loyalty to institutions, #clergy, and rules. Spirituality is about loyalty to #justice and #compassion. Religion talks about God. Spirituality helps to make us godly. The two need not be at odds. However the religious folks often become #radicals. More people have been #killed over #religious #beliefs than any other reason in history. I study all beliefs from all cultures and I utilize whatever does not insult my soul. There is good and valuable #knowledge and #truth in all ancient texts. I also prefer spirituality because it allows me to have a personal relationship with my creator vs religion forcing you to go thru #pastors and clergy and relies more on the #monetary system for support making it vulnerable to #greed and quests for power by the leaders.
