There is only One Spirit. No matter what term you
speak of, what life exists on whatever plane of the universe, there is only ONE
SPIRIT. It is the Spirit of GOD. Our Maker. All things are a fragment of this ONE SPIRIT. Through Him it was created and through Him it's existence is possible.
We, are a fragment of God’s Spirit. God's Spirit is also known my
many as our SOUL. He lives inside of each of us, we just have to give heed to His
stirring. When man, through exercising the free will given to us by God,
chooses to misdirect the Spirit and divert the power into selfish channels of
personal aggrandizement, rather than toward the expression of its original impulse
(God’s Will and the glorification of the Creator), then is when sin comes into
existence!
There are so many various people who believe in different things. Many say that they do not believe in God, but instead give acknowledgment to "some Supreme being or force." If you listen to them speak of their beliefs and understandings, it will often times sound a whole lot like they do apply the same concepts, values, beliefs and morals as Christians do. Some will tell you that they believe in a "Universal Energy" - such as the Native American's. Others will say Karma, etc... etc... But when it all comes down to it, no matter what you want to name it-- there is only ONE CREATOR, ONE SUPREME BEING, which is responsible for all things of Life and it is God. God is the UNIVERSAL SUPREME Spirit of Earth and all other life forces.
There is no way of denying His existence. There is no way in claiming to believe all other things, but Him. You can not even speak of and give notice to the presence and existence of evil without acknowledging God's existence because if it was not for Him... there would be NO EVIL. No, he did not create nor intend for the EVIL. But he created life, then created free will... which then, unfortunately was taken advantage of resulting in Lucifer (Satan, EVIL) and his followers of fallen angels.
This is the platform for which my spiritual journey stems and continuously returns to. It does not matter if I am studying the bible of Christianity, Native American tradition and beliefs, Zen or anything else... it ALWAYS leads me back to MY GOD. And no matter what exploration I might come upon, what beliefs I might weigh and consider, if it is not in line with God as a universal creator and the ONE LAW that is HIS ULTIMATE WILL (An abundance of LOVE FOR ALL)... I can not apply it in my life.
While I do not give way to man-made beliefs or dogmas... I do believe that all things GOOD are the will of God. I do not choose to complicate my life and my journey of striving for His perfection and purpose by adding silly rules that just don't matter or make sense. I embrace an overall idea of Christianity and belief in God. It is one that is simple and just includes all things LOVE. Service to others. Helping. Loving. Reaching out. Living simple. Being humble. Giving glory and thanks to our Creator (as we wouldn't be here without Him). Searching for and Embracing the presence of Him in my life through synchronicity, etc... Everyone needs to stop making things so complicated with words of the bible this and that (and then doing the opposite) or following some rules and not others, as it becomes so discouraging to those who are just arriving... it is so confusing to others who do not have the knowledge already.Therefore, if I walk in my daily life, as an example of Jesus Christ... keeping things simple, it makes it easier for others to follow!
Some traditional Christians may not agree with some of the things that I declare, but I am not here to perfect MY RELATIONSHIP with God to anyone else's standards. I am here to seek out and strengthen a PERSONAL INTIMATE relationship with MY GOD! And as long as I am living by the ultimate law of Love and applying his ten commandments to my life, none of the rest of it really matters.
