We are Spiritual Beings
No, I'm not an "Atheist." I don't associate with anything religious, including the term Atheist. I believe in the universe, I believe in God the trees, God the grass, God in the minerals, God is you God is me. We are the manifesting of a God being living out human/mortal existence. Sharing and having many experiences all at once. Religion is meant to divide, bind you, and keep you under a spell in a constant state of fear. Because a God that rules you out of fear can not truly be love. If I tell you to rule me or suffer, that's not love. That's manipulation and fear mongering. That's a narcissistic egotistical self centered stuck up. If I have to threaten you and in order to keep you loving me. Then my love isn't genuine but created out of fear and isn't love at all. That's how all religions of the world work. To transition yourself from religion to spiritual, you must do on your own. No one can tell you how to be spiritual it's a way of life. It's something you must discover on your own and do for yourself, and when you awaken to true enlightenment, it's not only a transformation it's like being born again. You no longer fear death. You understand death is not the end but merely the next step in your journey. You discover God is the very fabric of the universe. God is the original consciousness of the big bang, and you are that very same consciousness. Think of yourself you have a brain, yet the body can function without you, the soul/conscious being. Every and any decision you decide to make your brain has always made the choice this is why freewill really isn't free will when your body has already made the choice it just let's you think you've made the choice organically when you haven't. Therefore, anything you do isn't your choice, but it is your choice. You still continue the functions within your body to do that right or wrong decision. So, you should still take accountability for your inevitable action. Those who understand we're spiritual beings understand as well. You have the decision to join the ancestors or reincarnate into the cycle of life. The decision to be here was your choice you made, and it is your job to remember who you are. You are a God we are God, and no religion can take that from you.
Many people find themselves questioning the structures of organized religion and turn towards a more personal, spiritual experience. Spirituality is often about understanding oneself and the universe beyond dogmatic practices. Engaging in self-discovery and contemplation is essential, yet it can be incredibly liberating. It allows individuals to define a personal connection with the divine, which can be seen as an integral part of their existence. A significant aspect of this journey is recognizing that spirituality does not rely on fear or manipulation, common traits within many religious frameworks. It encourages love, acceptance, and a deeper understanding of consciousness. Connections with nature, the cosmos, and one's own inner self can serve as a guiding light in this transformative process. Consider incorporating practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and connecting with nature to enhance your spiritual journey. These practices can help quiet the mind, allowing for deeper insights into the self and the universe. Many people also find strength in community with like-minded individuals who share a similar spiritual outlook, fostering support and growth. Ultimately, the path to spirituality is individual and profound, promoting a sense of freedom, love, and understanding that religion often fails to provide.
