Most humans currently live their lives in this realm around the belief systems of others, be that of their parents', peers', mentors' or society's and because of this they inadvertently give up their ability (and responsibility) to define their reality and have control over their lives.
With this in mind, it is very important that each individual comes to his/her own conclusions about all matters in general and spirituality in particular, rather than blindly embracing the views of others. The purpose of Creation in general and Human 'Beings' in particular is for SOURCE to 'experience' - nothing more and nothing less. In other words, the sole purpose of 'being' human is to bring to the 'CREATOR' (or God for want of a better name) our 'individual' perceptions and consciousness around the experiences we create. (In a sense the sum of individual parts exceeds the Whole.)
The more conscious humans become of this process, the richer the experience. It is for this reason most mystics throughout the ages have said the same thing regarding the sacred task facing all Human Beings - namely that they learn to know themselves. (i.e. "Know Thyself") - meaning humans are to explore and exercise their God given creativity from within this realm for the purpose of experience and through this process eventually find the flaw in the Game and 're-discover' (sic) that they are an individualised, but inseparable aspects of God. (i.e. their Source)
Humans are awesome multi-dimensional spiritual beings who experience many realms 'simultaneously'. (NOTE: 'time' has no meaning outside the Physical Universe) The Physical Universe is but just one of the realms humans choose to experience. The Physical Universe is a limited realm defined by an essential duality of apparent opposites (hot versus cold, here versus there, up versus down, good versus evil etc) and linear time. The beliefs humans hold in their minds about the limits of each duality defines those limits and through the auspices of that process creates their reality. Thus for example, a human who believes the Earth is flat usually only perceives evidence supporting the illusion of a flat Earth and unconsciously filters out any evidence to the contrary.
The Physical Universe is a realm designed specifically for the purpose of Beings to experience the illusion of being separate from SOURCE. (i.e. God) To add realism to this GAME of separation, the aspect of humans operating in the Physical Universe, namely the EGO SELF, is usually (but not always) deliberately structured to be unaware of its true state of Being - that being that they are an individualised, but inseparable aspects of Source. Because of this state of affairs, most humans incarnating on Earth at the present 'time' are completely unaware of the Laws of Manifestation or the fact the Physical Universe is a consensus reality involving the consentient agreement of all involved to bring it into manifestation and as a result of this, the Ego Self of most humans vehemently denies it is responsible for everything that happens in its life.

Deep stuff jewelz. I agree with what you are trying to say. The truth is simple and it should be simply explained. The more comlpicated we make it, the easier it is to deny it. There is no doubt in my mind we all know the same truth. That truth has everything to do with who we are and why we are here. As we draw closer to recognizing the truth, the more simpler it becomes. The more we realize who we are the less distractions from the ego. Eventually the ego vanishes. And so do "Belief Systems".

Sorry, but that just had me laughing my arse off. Me? Just go along because "they" say so? Yeah, daddy may have wished that on NUMEROUS occasions LOL But, mom taught me to ask questions, and I took up with that idea, not his narrow minded ones. And yes, there are a lot of things I have seen that I knew were wrong, even if they were the "accepted" or the "norm" and I wasn't having it then, still won't now. Nope, don't necessarily go vigilante and try to change anyone else's mind, but I walk away from BS before I am going to act like I condone it.

Amen Brat. I believe 90% of Americans claim to be Christians, but less than 10% attend churches regularly.

Well, I don't refer to myself as Christian, mostly because I have met so many that do, and then turn out to be what I call "hypochristians". Talk the talk but don't walk the walk types. Like when some "Christians" started telling me that my aunt, the nun, was going to hell because she hadn't been "born again". Kinda ticked me off. She never hurt anyone, so I asked them why you had to be born again if you got it right the first time, and it sure didn't look like it had taken with them the second time around anyway. Witch threatened to fire me just for saying that, but I reminded her that I was on my lunch, off company property, and that she had approached me with this hooey on MY time.
I just try to do the best I can to do what I do without hurting anyone, talk to Him whenever I feel like it, and remember to say thank you when he does answer a prayer or send me some help.
Not a member of any organized religion any more, so I just call myself "spiritual".

i questioned everything, i read a lot, i pray n meditate but most of all i saw enough "miracles" (can't think of a better word)that proved to me there's a god/goddess that helps to guide our lives and not just coincidence,chance or only our own efforts.

I am still on the great journey to find just what I do believe. Don't know that there is a name for me but I believe there is a creater so, I too call myself Spiritual.
I do think that Jewelz is more right than anything christian. And I would not call going to church necessarally good. More brain washing.

yes it is, infact so much so, that this proves the phrase, "hidden in plain sight". No one noticed our private conversation in this thread.
