Religion and separation

Religion, which literally means that which ties back 

Or put in a more modern idiom that which reconnects us


Which raises the question and to what do we need reconnecting to?


The Church says we need reconnecting with ourselves and does so in a very roundabout way


No matter


What the church is not saying is that a person in touch with the fullness of life


In touch with the infinite beauty and oneness of all 


Has no need of religion


No need of intermediaries


Indeed religion is only a step in humanities journey towards higher consciousness


A step that is now impeding that journey


Each religion is divisive forever touting it's own particular merits


Indeed has always promoted it's own interpretation over every other


Not only from one religion to another but also within bitter divisions divide religions


The latest major religion Islam is at odds with itself as indeed are the many Christian sects, and the Hindu and the Buddhist


How in any ones name can thinking people take these competitive religions seriously?


How can one?


We cannot therefore if we are honest, we must see religion as a symbol of separation


And more separation is not what we need at this time


Time to let go of religions
