A Pact with God

We perceive God according to our own level of consciousness. In a way, we have a certain pact with God and have accepted the  spiritual concept wholeheartedly.
Religions are as old as 2000 to 3000 years. Faith in god and religion and its associated customs and rituals are mechanically followed by billions of people. All the religions preach universal love and compassion. But in reality there is no love or compassion. If the adherents of religions followed the religion’s inherent spirit, the world would have been a paradise on earth.
We depend of the elusive God to fulfill our needs and desires. We believe our prayers will be heard and miracles will take place in our life.
Does the religious identity help bridge better understanding between people?
Education, science and technology have evolved but religion remains the same. The fear of God is no longer an instrument to control people. Freedom of thought is an important element to overcome from this delusion. We need religion to transform one to grow as a fearless and loving individual. Human rights, freedom of speech, acceptance of humanity as one will take us far ahead to attain our goal of speedy human evolution.
There are billions of stars, planets and moons and life in one form or other, perhaps far more civilized and knowledgeable than us. It is foolish and stupid to think that we are the only life form exists on the universe.  Let us open our minds and souls and get enlightened in the light of evolving reality.
We have to accept facts over beliefs. Let us leave behind racism, religious fundamentalism, ever growing greed, obsessive with power for dominance.
Each religion preach tolerance, love to others but it has caused more wars and bloodshed in the world. Human spirit to overcome from the dark forces within us and to evolve as peace loving person will elevate us to a higher level of spiritual growth.
All ethnic groups, nations, religions have to grow as a single community based on one goal of human emancipation.
Analytical thinking and intuitive powers are essential to arrive at truth. Our rational or irrational thinking come from the way we think.
God is characterized in different form, but it is a metaphor only. God has been described in hundreds of ways. Supreme being, the eternal, mother of all, creator of universes, all knowledgeable, almighty, providence, a friend in time of need et al.
Life evolved 3.5 billions years ago on earth. We evolved from common ancestors of apes and monkeys. We have now enlarged brains capable of understanding the mystery of life and the mysterious powers we all have. Only introspection, free from beliefs makes us to see the reality.
Religious beliefs are not subject to change as scientific beliefs. Does religion make us more humane to see the ugly reality and change it?
Freedom to think independently will enable us to attain greater happiness. Trust in human potential to overcome from all problems than faith in god.
Spirituality is not concerned width myths, dogmas or supernatural forces. It is concerned with nature and evolving reality.
Religions should contribute to the peaceful co-existence of humankind. Can religion help to start a global consciousness? Our future is not depending on the divine force, it exists in our mental and spiritual growth.
Belief backed by reason becomes faith in humanity.  Religion subverts science and saps the intellect.
If scientific analysis conclusively demonstrates certain claims then we must accept the finding of science and give up our old belief.
Freedom is the fundamental character of the universe. Cosmic consciousness is a hypothesis for understanding the nature of physical reality.
Our planet is an insignificant little dot called earth. Knowledge of this truth will bring unity and spiritual advancement of human race.
A spirit is manifest in the laws of universe.
We are part of the universe. The same spirit dwells in all of us.  Billions of years of cosmic evolution have produced us. We are endowed with unimaginable powers to overcome all manmade problems and attain higher and higher evolutionary growth.
