Message:		Everything you've said is so true. It reflects the idea that no finite mortal mind can encompass the Infinite and Eternal. Be it one mind or many (organized philosophy or religion); mortal mind/s just don't have the capabilities. Even at that, what spiritual truths that are in an individual's mortal perception becomes translated/filtered/clothed by the cultural lens of that moment in time; they become an organized religion. These 'truths' are also subject to individual and group agendas. (Definition of truth used here: laws by which something works.} It's ironic. When organized religion projects the Divine outside of the self, Man (Mankind) lost touch with the ever-present presence within. It's too bad that we don't look at the one consciousness as a fact of life like gravity, ever present and constant. And...that one's religion is really an individual's personal relationship -- mortal mind's relationship -- to that One consciousness and the Love behind it. Then personal religion would become a question of how much an individual wishes to apply the Truth of that Love. Just as how we walk depends on how we choose to apply the truth of gravity. Thank You Peace
