Message:   Philosophies have their place.
It’s not the spiritual philosophy, credo, metal construct, or outlook that is important. It’s the truth within the philosophy that is important. Philosophies may change to accommodate the truth we learn. (I’m using the definition of truth as “laws by which something works”.)
Our individual spiritual philosophy will only work when we are dealing with the laws of spirit – truth. The philosophy is a perspective or perception we have and/or use to connect or relate to the truths we have learned. Once one has accumulated enough Truth, it assembles itself. Because, it is already part of a matrix (which. is another story.) The Love that is behind the Truth is way beyond any philosophy or perception. They were but tools to help you remember this.
This is why there can be so many philosophies around a single Divine. Many deal with and talk of the same truths. Each of them connects it a little different, that’s all. Some are more comprehensive than others only because they are looking at a bigger picture.
I’m talking on a mystical level here. Organized religions tend to have social, political, and cultural agendas woven in them. (Which, again, is another story.)
Love allows you to believe what you will. And…what ever you give to Love, it will use. The more truth in the belief gives Love better tools to help you.
