Religion and Spiritual Belief
I had posted this as a response to Saggi_tario, but I include here because I think it's worth sharing with everyone:
As President Obama undertakes the journey of his Presidency, I would like to share my thoughts on the changing spiritual road that humanity is now beginning to embark upon. This path reflects a new understanding that we are gaining towards religion. In fact, I think that the term "religion" is becoming obsolete because it reflects a narrow view of the bigger picture. "Spiritual Belief" might be a better term because it encompasses a greater view of God/Source, one that includes all religions as parts of the greater whole. These days as humanity continues its spiritual awakening we require a new paradigm that will reflect our spirituality back to us. Religion has outgrown its meaning and its usefulness to the masses. Where religion once separated us and conflicted us with misunderstanding, disrespect and violence towards others, sprituality is becoming the universal thread that ties us all together regardless of the religious beliefs we were raised with. I welcome your thoughts.

Hey my beloved sister,
It's just so amazing to see how God re-conveys to the world about Oneness through people like u. I am totally, totally agree with you that the shallow term of "religion" is getting expired, and has caused so much unnecessary pain.. "Oneness" that was once highlighted with a central spotlight more than one hundred years ago, is now coming back! talking about "enantiodromia", but this time around.. it's gonna be bigger.. the truth of "Oneness" of ALL religions, ALL Gods! and thus races and nations.. how wonderful!
I am SO joining you in the excitement of watching this happening, Tina!
Much love and hugs for u, sister!
