WHAT IF skeptics were to
Make a firm decision not to
Question the Spiritual by pulling it
Down into the material realm and
Examining it from the wrong
Standpoint anymore?
God never intended us to be
So cut off and separated
As we SEEM TO BE in a
Dimension of thought
So lowly and beneath us.

Yes. Case in point. What religion does in trying to assure and comfort us, is actually to hold us down in this lower dimension of thought. Religion gives the thoughts of the mind a new name, calling it Belief. What we’re not told, is Belief is not the same as inner transformation or inner realization. The result is, intellectually we know things, but spiritually we have no awareness of the truth of our being.

I caught myself thinking “I wonder what it’s like knowing stuff but having no experience of them?” Then, oops! that was me until I read and heard often enough (from ppl like us) that it’s gotta go much, much deeper. And then BOOM !! amazing things began to happen! Your juxtaposition, Frank, of belief vs inner realization just may hit some sleepy reader between the eyes! The second step of course occurs between the ears!!
