Religion

Religion Made Simple
Religion is merely a roadmap whereby the spiritual can be understood on the rational level. Because mans mind is not as evolved as the mind of the creator, religious understanding must therefore be limited to mans understanding. As timothy leary correctly points out, the map is not the territory.
Whether we address the source as the sungod, allah, jesus, jehovah, an archangelic name or the name of an enlightened saint it really doesnt matter because we are signalling our intention to communicate with divinity which we are all connected with.
As akenaton tried to point out to the polytheistic ancient egyptians, there really is only one god.
What is important is our intention when we pray. A sincere prayer made to the sun will be as effective as a rosary in the roman catholic tradition.
All religious systems have some value. Their limitations are merely indicative of our own limitations in understanding the limitless.
Diversity of religious belief on planet earth reflects the dualistic nature of mans mind. One day duality and the illusion of separation will disappear and oneness will prevail.
