God is not for sale.....However; many religious organizations believe they can extract money from people so that the people can pray to God ... whilst they prey on the people. (Nah! Who would fall for that scheme other that people who have been indoctrinated with fear and guilt?)  Religions should be "clubs" celebrating the joys of life together, in kindred spirit, at local meeting places. The celebration of life is dear to the hearts of all people of all race and creed. But, to use God as a means of inflicting fear and trepidation into innocent gullible people is nothing short of extortion beyond the laws of legislation.

Religion should be a social club that encourages folks to enjoy life by understanding the true make up of a human being. It should reveal the authentic nature of spirit that is the life force in "all things" (The Soul.) It should be a congregation of learning and creative arts...It should not be a money making scam. It should be an assembly of sharing sameness, not a place of ‘Higher-Archy' and elitism that divides society with hatred of other people because they do not conform with their male Gods falsehoods. And, if you don't follow teaching of certain religions their male God will humanely and mercifully make you burn in hell for eternity....Can you get more ignorant, primitive and uncivilized than that?

Even on the personal level, a few people believe they have a superior direct line to God (Spiritual gurus or masters) They believe people will pay them money to find out what God has told them and they have special intuitive powers to heal in some way. (Now that appears to be even more ludicrous, nobody would fall for that baloney...would they?) Every person has special powers to heal themselves and they need no guru or religion to teach them what they already know within their own true form. They only need to be aware of who they are and the reason they exist.

There are even more sinister dangers within the God Business. Many groups and organizations have sprung up, hiding behind a spiritual mask. This cluster of ignorance contains left or right wing political groups and anarchists who wish to create their own particular brand of undemocratic lunacy. Hitler's Nazi party started out as an occult spiritual party and the Swastika was a powerful emblem of the Sun. Hitler said; "the Christian God was for the weak and his God was for the strong." The rest of that story is history. The "spiritual" political groups of flakes and fakes of today are cut from the same mold as Hitler's occult and hatred of other humans is their motivation.  They enroll innocent folks who have lost faith with mainstream religion and feel society has not treated them in a just manner. Out of ignorance of their true self, they get on the spiritual band wagon of cunning and conniving harebrained schemes that want to take control of society, so they can inflict their brand of unbalanced insanity. There business is a political God business. Their spiritual veil will conceal their intent, which is to wreak havoc on society with their inept, out of tune political doctrines.

Do you think God has become a very lucrative business that keeps a few people in luxury and power whilst their flocks live in poverty in many parts of our world?..... This does not mean that wealth people and corporations should not support spiritual wisdom....In-deed it should be their first priority to do so........Well, just who is God and what type of business is he running?

What if God is not the creator of our universe? Before you go off at the deep end and say I am unsound, wait a moment. I did not say God does not exist, I said what if God did not create our universe. What if God has not got any control on what happens to earth, or to humanity. What if the folks who wrote the bible distorted the facts of creation! As we all know, rumors, superstitions and delusions do turn into folk laws. They can, and do turn into dogmatic belief systems.

Over a long time span, different sections of humanity became entrenched into a belief system. Once any belief system is recognize as "normal" it become very difficult to remove it. There is no doubt the bible contains great wisdom and many stories have a metaphysical truth to them........ However, past myths are not helpful to a specie of animals who embodies an intellectual flair for storytelling and inventiveness. In today's world we have many belief system and very little authentic meaning. The intelligence of God will never be fathomed by humanity......But perhaps these facts are closer to the truth than the belief systems we live with at present

• Creation is formed from elements of heat and cold combined with gases. It is infused with a life force of intelligence. All is created by an identification we refer to as Spirit, not God.

• God is a force of infinite intelligence far beyond the human minds capabilities of connecting to it. If we could access one fraction of Gods powerful dimension, for one split second, it would frazzle earth back into gasses. God is not directly approachable

• God sets into motion the ingredients that contain all possibilities and permits the dice to fall where they land.

• God geneses is an energy we specify as Spirit that contains infinite intelligence. Spirits energy manifests itself in a random manner within a unified framework of materialistic, temporal possibilities. All outcomes have already been planned out in multi-dimensional facets of pure potential.

• God has no jurisdiction on which way the materialistic forms will take shape. In other words, God presses the button (Releases Spirit) and starts the motor running and the results of the creation/evolution will become as random or as unified as the creation/evolver (Spirit) demands. These demands are explained by science as the outcomes of Quantum physic. In reality, control of events and happenings are dependent on each circumstance.

God is the architect of Spirit, therefore it is the Spirit of God...Not God, who is the creator/evolver that manifests materialistic form that we designate as our universe..... If we acknowledge Spirit is NOT God, rather Spirit is a random/united form of intelligence that can produce everything from nothing and visa versa ... then we will not any disputes over the identity of God within religion. It is understood that the intelligence of God is far greater than anything humanity can absorb. Therefore; even if anyone does have a "good idea" of who God is, it would be too preposterous for them to relate that information at this time in human development, for it will only be guess work at best.  And we cannot base our truths on guess work.

Let us change the wickets and play a new game. Here are the credible facts of God and Spirit that we can digest in our new game called...... "Keep out of Gods Business."

• God is Not directly connected to the human race...Spirit is. Spirit has no distinct form and cannot be claimed to be "exclusively possessed " by any religion or science.

• God plays no part whatsoever in the way humanity develops...Spirit does and it can manifest itself into anything known and unknown. Humans are just one facet in a multi dimensional diamond.

• God is beyond all things human...Spirit is the only connection to creation/evolving

• God is beyond all things manifested into physical form...Spirit is connected all the *time*.

• God cannot be contacted by any human form....Spirit can be accessed all the *time.*

• God has an existence that cannot be fathomed by any intelligence source the universe provides. In other words, humanity is not privy to information that does not concern it!

• Spirit is an unemotional intelligence that constructs and destructs physical matter by random/unified choice. Humanity cannot change the will of Spirit. We are an element of spirit (souls)

• Spirit is akin to the weather...It can, and does change physical shape at a moments notice.

• Spirit is indestructible and we are all made from spirit..... as are all life forms. All life is in spirits image in its true form. (without substance form)

• Spirit provides all of humanities requirement, no more, no less.....we can ask for nothing! Everything is provided! We need give no thanks to spirit...... for it is self praise.

In this new game praying to God is a complete waste of time and will not improve our life on earth. Listening to Spirit will improve our lifestyle and it is the only way humanity gains information to progress. We are already spirit (A soul) that can transform into "any-thing." We have been given a human existence and an intellect that is fed by spiritual intelligence. It can construct and it can destruct. We can choose how we use this power. The closer we live to our true identity, the more creative we become. The more we distance ourselves from our true self, the more destructive we become. (Does this game make more sense than the game we are playing right now?)

In this game organized religions that preach man made dogmas are a complete sham and a waste of money and time. Once we allow God to get on with what he does, we can embrace spirit and no-body can divide spirit up and say this spirit is better than that spirit. It would be like saying, this blade of grass is better, than that blade of grass....we forfeit arguments about God in this new game.

Now let us backtrack into history a little.

The first monolithic religion was Judaism and anyone who has studied that religion will recognize the similarities to many stories in Greek mythology. One God religion was fashioned

by one mans vision (Abraham) of a male God.  His father was a very successful idol maker.

Abraham was brought up in the God business and decided he did not like the idols image (pardon the pun) We all know how many sons want to better their fathers ideas. So, Abe resolved to created a new image more in-keeping with his idea of a male, mythical, invisible God. ( That's what comes of giving children a good education...They want to make changes, but not always for the better for many times they are half baked ideas)

But how was he to persuade he people to follow this male God? Also; Perhaps Abe's son said;

I want to go into Grandpa's business and sell idols when I grow up (typical little cheeky chap, just like his dad)

So; dear Abe thought ‘Son...your messing with the wrong cowboy! He came up with the idea

that God has asked him to sacrifice his son and of course when it came to the moment of sacrifice

God relented and said; Yay Verily  "I was only testing your faith." (And teaching the brat-kid a lesson)

"Just kid-ding around Abe, now get me a goat to sacrifice" (pardon the pun)

With Abraham being a very rich and influential man, the superstitious folks around him thought ... if it is good enough for him ... then we all want to be beholden to this male God who can punish us or treat us kindly. (And look how well mannered his son is now) What spectacular PR indeed.

And, as they say, the rest is history. Just what humanity needed.... A moody male God who has nothing better to do than play life and death games with backward, uninformed people.

<I wish I could say they all lived Happy ever after!>

It was all downhill after that. We could now kill people with a clear conscious and say "Our God tells us those people are infidels...... so we had to murder them!" (This is being played out today by suicide bombers who are indoctrinated by their "holy men connected to God")

This image of God is the root cause of millions upon millions of deaths throughout time. (how do you like this good old fashioned game of alienation).

Lets move on and grasp just one past example (within a multitude of abhorrence) of the flagrant atrocities within religion...... About two thousand years ago Jewish Zealots of Judea murdered anyone who would not conform with their dogmatic belief systems. This is known as the first holocaust. Whilst the Romans were on the outside of the walls of Jerusalem calling for surrender, the Zealots were on the inside murdering all the Jews who would not conform with their insane doctrines. Innocent people were torn between the devil and the deep blue sea (die at the hands of religious Zealots or heathen Romans) Six hundred thousand people were slain and the male God said........All is Good?.

A few years later rabbi Jesus came along and tried to change all the non-sense. Two hundred years later Christianity was formed based on reformed Judaism.  Jesus' teaching, which by this time had probably been distorted out of shape, became written in stone as a power basis that would grow into the hundreds of segments it is today.  If Jesus could see how his philosophy has been so misrepresented, he would be utterly appalled. For sure, he would try again to turn the tables on all money and power seeking religious, dogmatic leaders..... All religions have caused the deaths of millions of innocent people! Even within the myriad's of each religion there is extensive disagreements and hatreds of their own divided segments. This is the insanity we live with today.

It seems:

The more religious a person becomes...... the more dogmatic they become.

The more the dogmatic behavior ... the further fundamentalism stretches.

The more the fundamentalism reaches...the more power to the leaders......

The more power to the leaders ... The bigger the wars, mayhem and terrorism.

Nearly all wars are based on some form of belief system and humanity has got their existence all messed up and tangled in a web of deceit and lies. That is why humanity has to keep killing each group or tribe that comes along with a different belief system. For each fabricated system will reveal the futility of the other system that wishes to obliterate them. There is NO possible way of living in peace with the present belief systems humanity is entrapped into. The problem is compounded by the fact that All religions do contain some components of spirits truth.

There is a blueprint within the soundness of Spirit that can guide humanity to prosper and enjoy its existence on earth. Many wise sages have touched spirits mind and much wisdom has been derived....But that wisdom has been abused, misused and exploited by unscrupulous humans who wish to exert power over the masses. Religion does not have the answers to humanities problems, on the contrary, it magnifies them.

Likewise science does not possess too many of the answers to aid humanity to live an authentic life. If science is undertaking to read the mind of God they will need to find some other method than mathematics, for God lives outside any essence that correlates with the human mind.  The good news is.....Spirit does have the answers we seek to live an authentic life. Answers that unshackle the human mind of limited perceptions, but are the answers the ones that humanity is open to hear right now? Do we want to embrace a more authentic game of life?

The question is:

Will humanity ignore Spirit?.......

Will humanity embrace Spirit?.....

Or, will humanity scratch their heads and say ....... We are engaged in destroying each other in ignorance right now with our personal Gods protection; Please call back later after we have "taken care" of most people who don't agree with us!

A final solution legislated as a result of science or religion maybe! (Where have I heard that game before?)

To Be Continued.........Maybe?

To proceed on to a more authentic game ... we need to accept this one true fact of life.....

God’s Business...... is No-body Else's Business......
