Effective Spirituality

Here we discuss the ways and means of developing effective and functional relationships with the Divine. Have you ever felt spiritually abandoned? Does obtaining faith in God seem like a lost cause? Do your most heart felt prayers get no response? Let's look at why some people get in touch with the divine and others do not. If you already feel God working in your life; great! Here we will look at ways to increase that relationship with the divine.

There are a lot of sincere believing people out there who struggle with spirituality. There is a lot of confusion about how to be spiritual; how to get close to God. Many devotedly follow a religion expecting to find God or at least get help they believe they need. Religions and their programs often supply leaders and rules which they promote as a way to achieve spiritual goals and spirituality itself. Their promises are as boundless as they are groundless.

I don’t know a christian religion that hasn’t forgotten several important facts about Jesus.

1. Jesus wasn’t a devote Jew. His disciples weren’t devote either. He had little use for the religious.

2. Jesus didn’t follow the rules. Especially not the rules about the sabbath.

3. Jesus didn’t financially support the his religion.

4. Jesus gave much to the poor. Almost exclusively.

5. Jesus; the example, didn’t even baptize. I don’t think it mattered to him.

6. Jesus made it clear that there were only two rules: Love God and love your fellow man. All religious rules and requirements beyond these two are of men; feel free to ignore them.

7. Jesus died for us. He didn’t die for a religion. He died because of the religious.

These facts are ignored by the religious.

I have been richly blessed. I am one of the lucky ones who has been in touch with the divine and blessed with many spiritual experiences. But I am not special. There is nothing gifted or innate about me, that I should be chosen as I have been. I have been pressed several times to share what I have been shown and taught. I have been listening to podcasts and searching my heart to try to pin down a few things that may be of benefit for those who seek a relationship with the divine.

I should here point out there there are sources of spiritual guidance that are far better than anything I have to offer. It’s saddens me when people confine their spiritual sources to writing from 2 millennia ago. There are sources for spiritual guidance today that are as superior to the Bible as todays engineers are to ancient Greece engineers.
