Could Religions Ever Change Anything?
For not much longer religions will continue to be part of our world, even though some of them to this day are a potent destructive force to be reckoned with. Yet, considering the trouble many of their followers are still causing, one cannot help wondering: ‘Could religions ever change anything?’ The word religion has its roots in the Latin ‘religare’, which means to bind and connect. Why then did our religions bring so much war and destruction by setting us against each other rather than connecting us with each other?
Were any of our world’s old belief system truly designed to make our world a better and more peaceful place? Will it ever get to be that way? Yes! Because by now our world is changing with giant steps and it will not be long now until it has evolved into a place where all manifestations of life exist together harmoniously and peacefully. But this will most certainly not come about through our world’s remaining old belief systems. Look around you and see how much suffering, unrest and destruction they are causing to this day. Nobody can and will make the required changes on humankind’s behalf. Every one for themselves has to do their share of bringing it about.
Through the religions the Highest Forces of life, for quite a while by now have been making it clear to humankind that none of the old belief systems ever had any power of its own. If allowed to continue, they would never make our world into a better and peaceful place. The Angels and Masters of the Christ Circle, for quite a while by now, have been trying to show us that the solution to our world’s problems will not come from the outside of life. The answers to the questions we need to ask how to go about changing our world will never be found on the outside. They can only come from everybody’s inner guidance, the wise one or living God within. Apart from that, if we want a peaceful world, all of us have to look towards ourselves, sweep before our own door and cleanse our inner stables from the false beliefs, prejudices and superstitions of times gone by.
To this day, many in our world seem to be under the impression that astrology is also some kind of a belief system, not unlike a religion. They appear to believe that every one of subjects like religion, astrology and numerology has some power of its own and therefore is responsible for making our world and us the way we are. We do well to remind ourselves frequently that nobody has any real power on the Earth plane, including all religions as well as subjects like astrology and numerology. They have no power, unless it is given to them through thinking, falsely, that each one of them possesses some kind of power of its own.
Everything that exists in our world, on all its levels, within and without, and everywhere else in the whole of Creation, was brought into being by the Angels and Masters of the Christ Circle. As servants of the Great Father/Mother of all life and their only born Son/Daughter, the Universal Christ’s light, they always have been and forever will be in charge of everything that happens anywhere. In keeping with the Divine evolutionary plan, throughout the ages, one religion after the other appeared in our world. Each one served as a different teaching aid. As soon as the lessons one of them had been mastered by a sufficient amount of people, another new religion appeared and the old one remained.
The fact that every one of these religions failed to make our world into a better and more peaceful place, in itself is sufficient proof that none of them ever had any power of its own. And that’s because each one was used to keep humankind away from discovering too early the truth. Unbeknown to us until recently, it has always been hiding behind the surface words of our world’s religious teachings. Apart from keeping us away from the truth for long enough, the surface words can do nothing.
Astrology and numerology, however, will not be as passing and temporary as any of our religions. This is because they are something much more fundamental. Yet, even they have no power of their own. They merely are a kind of language, a way of understanding what the Highest Forces of life wish to tell us, at any given time. The only way we can influence our pathway through life positively is by endeavouring to work with astrology and numerology instead of struggling against them. The way I practise them returns the Great Father/Mother of all life to His/Her Creation. I believe that the God-head is a masculine as well as a feminine force. Neither is inferior or superior to the other. In sweet harmony both forces function together. They complement each other and are equal partners in the creative process; each its part.
For me, astrology and numerology acknowledge and bow before the power and might, as well as its love and wisdom of the Highest. Both are the finest instruments imaginable for anyone who wishes to enlarge and enhance their vision of the Great Father/Mother’s boundless wealth. That’s why wise ones make it their business to find out the truth about God’s true nature and their own. They are not afraid of digging ever deeper into things to find the roots of everything. These people no longer need to blame the planets or their Creator for the way our world has become, as well as how they are and behave. Knowing and accepting that we ourselves are responsible for everything that is in our lives, including our character, our destiny and that no-one can change our karmic debts, except everyone for themselves, improves the more knowledge we are gaining.
When as a result we constantly give of our best and endeavour to create nothing but that which is good, right and beautiful in thoughts, words and actions, eventually nothing but more of the same can return to us. And that’s because the Universal law of cause and effect is the supreme ruler throughout the whole of Creation, naturally this includes everything that exists in our world. This knowledge and acting upon it possesses the power of putting ever more of us earthlings fairly and squarely in charge of the ship of their own life. Besides, it eventually can make every one of us into the master of their own destiny.
Naturally, I would not wish to state categorically that religions, astrology, numerology and other related subjects are this, that or the other, because that simply would not for me to say. All I can and wish to do is share my understanding that the outer world is a manifestation of our inner self and the environment reflects back to us what we are within. As if gazing into a mirror, the events around us are constantly revealing that which is taking place inside us. And that is why, if we wish our world to become a different place and our lives to change, it is necessary to first look to ourselves and the way we behave.
From what many in our world are going to benefit most of all is a new understanding of the true purpose and higher meaning of humankind’s earthly existence. This brings with it a fresh approach to life that provides us with the motivation we need to change our perception of life and our approach and attitude towards it most profoundly. Should you decide to travel down this road with me, you will soon discover that many of the old false beliefs to this day are thought of as being true by far too many in our world. Having long outlived their usefulness, they are waiting to be shed. I believe we can assist many to do this.
To this day, the false beliefs of the old religions are serious obstacles on the journey that is meant to move every human being constantly forwards and upwards on their own evolutionary spiral, which is an integral part of the one for the whole of humankind and our world. I believe that the knowledge of this can provide every one of with the power of making the spiritual progress that’s destined to be found not only in this lifetime, but forever.
