Do you believe in God?

Hi Black Rose,

I found myself in very much the same frame of mind when I was a bit younger. I will not associate your atheism with a lack of spirituality for someone to cut off that prospect of a higher existence takes a lot of deep spiritual thought. Then when my marriage started to sour and I found myself locked in a job that brought me to a deep depression, I challenged my disbelief and challenged whatever spirit was listening to prove to me that this idea of Spirit was very real as in a tangible part of real life. I sought, I was guided (because the lessons I learned came in the correct order, and fell neatly into place) and I came to a realisation that changed my life.

Science does leave no room for God because science is the one that has handicapped itself by denying or ignoring what it cannot explain. Miracles happen constantly but they only happen for good reason and if the intent behind the performing of miracles is done in humility. A miracle will not occur out of context, and to experiment in a laboratory is futile so science cannot measure, dissect and deconstruct them, hence the easiest, laziest outcome is for science to deny them. Science certainly has its place, but only in readily explicable contexts, but it soon gets lost when events will not cooperate with science’s criteria.

Do notconfuse religion with faith. Faith is your personal relationship with God while religion is the social structure created by believers to control acolytes. Faith remains pure, but religion has been corrupted over the ages by men with their a lust for power. Religion is the tool for indoctrination and it is corrupt. (No church has taken up a stand against the corporate giants who are abusing, exploiting and ultimately will kill the Earth, God’s creation. I rest my case) Religion is what you are at odds with, because it is their teaching that has pushed you away.

I also disagree that you can pick and choose morals. Ethics is what is born with you, whilst morals are imposed upon you from outside (churh, school society). That moral sentiment is something you might disagree with but you cannot escape them because those moral values are used when others judge you, even though Jesus clearly said that you should not. I for instance am not morally outraged by nudity, but others are so my behaviour is tempered by having to consider those opinions. I cannot choose to ignore it.

I am busy working on writing my story of how and what I learned from my experiences which I want to post here, so keep an eye out for that. So in the meantime think about it, try to challenge the spirit to respond to you. I suggested this only once before to a sceptic. I took her out on a spirit journey. (Forgive the digression, while I add just a bit more detail. I took them into nature and took evrything from them that relates to their normal life. No cellphone, books, magazines; only allowed sunblock and a sarong. I split them up so that they were completely alone in nature and left them to blend in. Later we did a trance session related to the days experience) What I told her was to ask the Spirit to show her something that will resonate with her. Something that would be her choice alone and that nobody knows of so that there can be no thought that it was set up. After about 2 hours alone we gathered together once more to discuss the experience. After about three minutes she suddenly clapped her hand to her mouth and squealed. She had asked to be shown a white cross and there on a ridge in the mountains behind us, outlined against the sky was just such a cross. It works - try it.
