How are we conducting our spiritual lives, if we have any? Through a belief? Following a religious ideology?
Beliefs can be affirmative or negative when they are disguised as disbeliefs, and both can be judgmental; both can also lead to prejudice.
Ideologies are often ego-fixed conceptual tools that have been used mostly by dark elites to obtain power and control over our societies, our countries, and our world.
Are we true seekers? Do we acquire knowledge through personal experience? Are we learning by doing? Or are we trapped in dogmas and other people's opinions that have silenced our inner truth?
To be well adjusted to this world is not good news because we are living in a dark realm that Satan rules through decadent and sick societies.
What is the nature of our personal relationship with Jesus Christ? Because religion originates from the Latin word "re-ligare," which means to bind back, our relationship with the divine. And this is a personal journey that takes place in the heart, not in the mind.
Are we able to listen with our spiritual ears to the voice of our good shepherd, Jesus, calling us back and opening for us the doors of Paradise as part of His sheep? Have we learned how to conduct our lives through imitating His life example? And not through the distorted and sugar-coated ideological views that have complicated and obscured the Divine knowledge contained in His teachings?
Unfortunately, these views are carried on nowadays by many religious institutions through their selfish interests for profit, power, and dominion over those who follow Jesus, taking advantage of their ignorance and lack of experiential knowledge, making them believe that only through their intervention will they be able to know Jesus and be in His presence.
Have we been able through our obedience to the will of God in our lives to establish contact with the enlightenment and protection of the Holy Spirit? Because he is the one, as Jesus said, who will be our advocate and counsellor, and that will teach us all things and bring to our remembrance all that He said to us.
And to establish this connection through our hearts is only possible through our experiential knowledge; no beliefs and ideologies are allowed there, only the cross of Christ.
To live our lives through experiential knowledge will mean that we will be able to spiritually climb our mount Sinai and after commuting with our Father in Heaven at the top, to bring down the mountain to our brothers and sisters and our suffering world new and fresh views that come from the revelations and spiritual insights that Jesus has allowed us to share, so they can deepen their spiritual connections with the divine in their lives to begin intimate, and relational interactions with God.
