Consciousness vs Religion

There will be many chapters in your life that will challenge you and or enlighten you. Throughout these trails many look towards a leader, usually religiously. being conscious does means you no longer require the guidance of certain principles from a certain belief systems. You have established your own  ideas and are ready to begin progressing on your own. You no longer need to be told what to believe, your logic and reason has become well grounded so you are able to use your own mind. Religion was created to help boost your spirituality; it's like  learning how to walk you start somewhere, this usually starts with crawling. You'll eventually get to a point where you're ready to begin walking on your own. it's your choice to take it, if you don't you'll remain complacent and  limited and if you do the door will open to more adventures and teachings. Leaving behind religious affiliation is no easy feat. It can be quite terrifying in the beginning; why because it's all you know. you've based your entire life's purpose on this singular belief system. That's the beauty of it, you begin to learn new concepts from other religions and if you become open enough you'll begin to understand the standpoints of other beliefs. A common misconception when it comes to religion is taking it literally. The driving force of many belief systems is mythology, symbolism given to things that weren't understood at the time of it's origin. there's a sacred wisdom to mythology, it's symbolic meanings represent things essential spirituality. everyone is on journey to ultimate truth, there is no right path to take. it's just which you find that suits you the best. So the argument that a certain belief system is better than another is invalid. don't be fooled by these big time religions like Christianity, I I Isalm, and Judaism  with the idea that one of them is better than the other. Truth is they are originated from the time of Roman rule from the exact same branch of church. They took truths and halfed them  with fantasies that apply to nothing, but our resourceful to draw you into to confuse you. You're here to rediscover that inner budda or christ consciousness in you. meaning you are you're very own savior. Remember that you have the power to make change when you so chose. the change has to start with you first though.
