Religion

Remember that Jesus is not a Christian, Gautama is not a Buddhist, and Mohammad is not a Moslem. These ‘individuals’ were able to find their own path towards 'enlightenment' realizing 'who they really are', and were able to become ‘one’ with the 'Universal Consciousness'. Yet, in their effort to share their paths to others hoping that 'we' too will be able to 're-member', they were misunderstood most probably intentionally by those 'followers' who want to capitalize on their 'master’s’ belief. 

As their 'master' fades away to 'nirvana', the capitalists begin to write its doctrines and impose its dogmas preaching to its followers the 'words of god'. And when greed and power overwhelms the ego, they begin to alter the route leading towards their selfish goals, luring the ignorant soul with an empty promise of everlasting bliss. Like an angler fish, its prey hypnotized by a tempting feast, and as it bites the bait, the prey is devoured into oblivion. 

The pure essence of the path, the noble purpose of the 'true masters', are now lost, drowned in the turbulent sea of never ending politics of faith: religion.

As the capitalist asserts his truth, he wages war in the name of god. And as he denounces others' 'faith', the earth soaks in blood and the fertile soil withers, as it bears the fruit of hatred and greed.

The religion that we now know of is a society of organized belief where the capitalists impose its 'own twisted truth', gaining control of those whom he thinks of himself as 'unworthy' and 'imperfect'. 'Undeserving men' hoping to regain his self-worth in the 'after life', that is if indeed it exists.

Amidst the myriad of 'self-proclaimed truths', TRUE RELIGION still exists. It is pure and never imposing. It is personal since it comes from within and not from 'with-out'. It leads you to self-discovery. 

Your own path is your TRUE RELIGION. My path may not be yours, yet we are heading towards the same 'sun', hoping that my 'flame' and yours will soon 're-member' and will again be ONE with the 'universe'. And as each 'flame' rejoins the 'sun' we become whole again, and thus we proclaim ‘I AM THE LIGHT of the WORLD'.
