I love discussions about religious theologies and philosophy and there is much “out there” to discuss. Of late I have been frequenting a website where religion is often discussed as well as theories about varied pantheons, Gods, Goddesses, multi-verses and things related, in other words, about everything in this universe and in others. Often people come in who are clearly quite intelligent and have their theories well thought out. They assign names, numbers and dates, among other details, anything they can to more easily label it and put it in a box so they can perhaps understand it better or validate it. They present as fact that which they believe to be true and they sound credible enough with all that detail they have, all those names and dates.
To put it simply, connection is key. It’s likely you have heard that before. An underlying tone to almost all major religions, theologies, philosophies and the like, connection is a theme. On thinking about this connection I came to the conclusion that once connection is the goal, everything else just falls into place and its manifestation is individual. What I mean, to put it simply, is that for example, love is not the answer; it is merely a part of the answer. It is well established that one must be the message they want to see in the world, this has been said by many in many different ways. How can a goal like connection be accomplished without some basic things such as forgiveness, love, compassion, open-mindedness compromise and understanding to name a few? It is very easy to see through simple observation those people who incorporate these things into their lives and hence their message as well as those people who do not. |
