Instead of being encouraged to feel completely protected, loved, honored, and respected by the Divine Force, you've been taught that you're being judged. Because you've been taught that, you feel guilt and fear. But guilt and fear do not open your connection INto the Divine; they only serve to close your heart. The reality is that God's way is love, and you can 'see' this for yourself.

"I'd rather let my spirit fly free, than be caged by religion. Become a Buddha, not a Buddhist; become a Christ, not a Christian. One implies an awakened state of consciousness, the other a dogmatic approach to life.

"God" is too big for one religion. Love and quantum physics are my religion. At one level, all religious traditions have the same aim - to transform the individual into a positive being. I love Jesus, I love Shiva, I love Krishna, I love Buddha. All rivers lead to the same ocean."
