Religion can prevent people from thinking for themselves. A belief in good and evil, rigid laws and harsh punishment, creates judgment and separation. We live in a world of duality, like a perpetual cycle of a dog chasing its own tail. When we can truly, fully understand ourselves and others, we will feel love and understanding for all, despite everything. We will see that the cause of evil is limited perception; is blindness from the truth within; from our own hearts; from unity. The matrix causes this blindness. It spins a web, a veil, of infinite design- each individual's limited perception, experiencing their individual form; this life.......with all its viewpoints, all its religions, opinions, cultures, art forms, styles, etc, etc........and on and on.To real-eyes the nature of this illusion is to begin to understand.
Our choice is up to us. We can chose to remain as a part of the endless cycle of duality. Or we can chose love. We can chose to understand.
By understanding, we may learn to heal ourselves, and each other, and maybe then we will no longer be at odds.
People learn and evolve through experience, not through following dead letters to the word. As long as their actions do not abuse another's free will, they should be allowed to experience whatever their desire will guide them through. True spirituality exists in feeling the connection with all others and with life, to listen to the light within your heart. That is all we need, to live in harmony.
This knowing inside, creates inner peace, and enables each and every soul, to have the liberating gift of empathy, of feeling and of intuition. Spiritually and biologically we would transform to higher vibrations.
This knowledge goes hand in hand with a new nature which would be much more gentle, much more understanding, and of course have respect.
Only when a being wishes to abuse another being's free will, would we ever need to reign each other in.
Love and understanding is the only law we really need.
Revolution
Revolution would never work on a mass scale. This is the world of illusion; beliefs and ideas will always be too vast and varied to ever be successfully changed in such a way. Our only real purpose is to offer, if desired, seeds of wisdom to inspire that each and every one of us carries within. Our goal is our own personal path of awakening.
The greatest thing we ever learn- is just to love and be loved in return.
"Peace cannot be kept by force, it can only be achieved by understanding". ~Albert Einstein
