Got Spirituality?

15/07/2007

Studying different religions and philosophies is one of my passions. I have applied so many ideas from different cultures to my life, and it has gotten me by. I appreciate those who preach their beliefs, but it is not my cup of tea. I appreciate it with love, but to a point. I will listen and take from lessons what applies to me. There are so many hypocrites, though. So many who swear by what they have been taught- I am not knocking them- but they turn around and act in ways completely opposite from what their belief system states. I want to call these people out so bad. What cracks me up is that these blatant defiers excuse their actions by saying that ‘no matter what I do, I am still loved. I am human. I make mistakes. I will be forgiven.’ yada yada yada It’s a constant cycle of pain, dishonesty, and forgiving. These attitudes I do not believe enable one to reach that ultimate higher power one so desperately seeks. Meher Baba was specifically against the usage of hallucinogens, but a vast majority of his modern day followers are trippers. I can not comprehend this. This is is just one little example. I have plenty others I will reveal in a later post…. I really wanted to get this off of my chest.

    I agree. So many fakers, so few real people. I think the United States has somehow become the stage for everyone to try and be something they’re not. The more extreme and exotic the better. Where some people think to have the authority to speak on such issues I also don’t understand, but who am I - I’m just some ignorant dood that walked off the street into an internet cafe to reply to this post. Cheers

    I think most people “eccho” the “good” word from others that they hear. A sorta-kinda Mocching of truth. The sadness is in the dis-belief or rather contradiction played out in their own lives. Which has no affliction on mine.
    When I come across those who preach without practicing (which I am guilty of myself) and it is “called-out” on, the universe gives us the ability to comprehend and understand that underlying truth in the nature of what is being gifted to us to understand. I am not bothered by those who claim to be a higher source and their convictions are not. They will be bothered by them-selves.

    I think today spirituality or let me say preaching the word of God is the in profession for those who are master of the word of God. I know some sects or even religions in my country that obviously use the word of God just for the sake of money. Blimey, they have lots of members!
