.:|:. Dove Love’s .:. Points and Passions .:|:.

By Dove, www.TarotwithLove.com  This post was spurred by a blog that I’ve been reading a bit recently.  I admire her efforts to enlighten us to what’s truly going on in our world…  But I was disappointed to see her recent blog filled with biblical quotes/references.  John Lennon’s statement, “Imagine no religion,” popped into my mind.  A powerfully significant and wise statement.

Per her blog, “Love thy neighbor,” I agree, of course.  But in a time when it is oh-so crucial that we unite against those who are determined to keep us enslaved, the religion thing is counter-productive in what would seem to be her strong objective to unite the freedom-minded ones…  Religion does nothing but separate us — and it always has.  We don’t need religion to tell us to love our neighbor…  We don’t need it for anything.  No one can be forced or feared into truly being “good,” that’s a sham. 

One of the worst things about religion is that it teaches us (from childhood — easy to brainwash) that we are nothing without “it.” (”God,” the church)  And if one truly ponders that, you can see how it creates both self-loathing and, of course, loathing of those who do not march to this drummer.  Again, it SEPARATES us.  Remember the ”divided, we fall” thing? 

And the irony is, that the “God” so many believe to be this mighty being outside of us is in fact WITHIN us.  It is us.  Imagine :)  Imagine if that which we are at our core is this mighty “thing” that is spoken of in that old book.  Would we then need the church if this were true?  No.  And do you think that would benefit those who wish to keep us enslaved?  It would not keep us living by their rules, most of which teach us to hate that which we are.   If we were to discover that this power (”God”) has always been within us, what would that bring?  Remember how this power was always with Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz? :)  There are deep reasons that our subconscious creates such movies :)  It represents the truth…symbolic truth is all around us — including the old book :)  Imagine. 

Can you imagine how quickly the ties that bind us, the enslavement, would fall away if this were actually true?  What would “they” do without their slaves?  The thing is, it is true.  But it means nothing unless we know it’s true.  Think about it, how powerful is a magician if he doesn’t know that he’s a magician, if he doesn’t even know that he has a wand — or how to use it? :)  A lion can be raised to believe he is a sheep…  And THIS is what has happened to US. 

When you hear this reference to the “awakening,” this is what it references.  It’s time for us to “wake up,” to be “reborn” into being the powerful beings that we have always had the power to be, that we have always been.  The “savior” is within us, the “Christ” is within us…it is us.  WE are the “second coming” :)  Cool, eh?  ;)  And also very empowering if you can grasp the truth of it.  Just in imagining this to be the truth, doesn’t that feel amazing?  That we are it!  We are the Power!  Doesn’t that make you breathe a breath of strength, just in considering this to be the truth?  :) 

You need no religion, no arrogant “God,” to have this power, it is what we are.  None of their brand of worshipping required :)  “Worshipping” references loving oneself…and you can imagine how much easier it is to love yourself once you know what you truly are…this absolutely perfect “godness” at your core — regardless of what your self-loathing or other “fate” has created on the outside.  That’s all an illusion, it means nothing as far as your true value (except to the advertisers who would have you believe your material self must be what they deem “perfect” or “fashionable” for you to be valuable…)   On the other hand, how easy is it to love a “wretch” or a “sinner” or something that it nothing without something else, something that has no real power without something else?  Not very.  And self-love is crucial, crucial so as to love others, and that flow of love is profoundly empowering :)  “Children of God”?  You betcha’ — little “gods” growing into the knowledge of their own “God” power :)

No, they can’t allow us to know this absolute truth.  That the POWER that is spoken of in church, in the old book, is actually speaking of that which is WITHIN us.  It is us.  That would mean we don’t need THEM.  It would mean we are already PERFECT at the core of our being.  We don’t need to do or be anything — we don’t need to be “saved.”  We are our own “savior.”  When we pray, we are actually praying to ourselves :)  And when those prayers are “answered,” the manifestation that occurred was fueled from our own energy — our “spirit,” if you will.  Imagine.

If we could simply pull ourselves out of the brainwashing of all the lies spewed from religion…look at it for what it truly is.  It’s just another controlling system born from an old book of symbolic messages twisted into something very wrong, and in those wicked interpretations are the “false prophets” of which they themselves speak.  How better to protect themselves from that label, eh?  

But this one controlling system, religion, is so insidious that it has had a tremendously detrimental effect on our lives, our world.  It most assuredly keeps us separate, and it most assuredly encourages us to believe that we are “less” unless we do this or that — believe this or that.  It encourages us to believe that our power is outside of us, when the fact is it is within each of us.  We will be at our most powerful when we unite in that knowledge.  But until then and for sure, spewing religion into the mix of our efforts to unite and regain our freedom, is a losing game in my view — at best, one that’s just limping along.

Peace,
