"We must stop confusing religion and spirituality. Religion is a set of rules, regulations and rituals created by humans, which were supposed to help people to grow spiritually. Due to human imperfection, religion has become corrupt, political, divisive and a tool for power struggle. Spirituality is not theology or ideology. It is simply a Way of life, pure and original as was given by the Most High of Creation. Spirituality is a network linking us to the Most High, the universe and each other. As the essence of our existence, it embodies our culture, true identity, nationhood and destiny."comics hiphop news art culture

ReplyDeleteI've actually worked with churches where preachers are warning of the dangers of "spirituality without religion". That's crazy to me.
Relationships with God cannot be defined by anyone but you and your Creator. You are UNIQUE. Your Creator knows this and wishes to engage with you as your Unique self.
Teachings, whether spoken are written, can be wonderful indicators of how to open yourself up to God. But when your heart, experience, and gut lead you to a different conclusion than a teaching that is being presented to you, you should favor YOUR truth over theirs.
