Strange Bedfellows: Logic, Rebellion, Religion, Peace & Unity
Science & Religion Must be in Harmony.
In this age it is clear that Spirit can be rational, and must agree with science.
" Any religion that contradicts science, or is opposed to it,
is only ignorance..." Ab'dul Baha, Baha'i Faith

Do you know that "rebels of religion" appear from age to age ?? History's Repeating Cycle From Reverence to Rebellion Every 500 –1000 years a Being appears Who is said by some to be sent by God. His/Her life and words form the core of a new religion; the teachings they bring are geared to the level of maturity of the age in which they appear. With the passing of time ( as much as 1000 years), humanity begins to "outgrow" the old teachings , & is in need of a different remedy Fit to the needs of the new age. This accounts for many differences in the various religions. The comings and goings of these Beings explain much in history.  The Cycle of Revelation The waxing and waning of religion Can be Likened to the Rising & Setting of the Sun-- The birth of a new religion… is Beautiful, like the Dawn, and seen by Few... .....As A Faith Grows, & Prophecy ripens, It becomes Clearly Seen by All, But at Sunset, its light fades; & Clarity is a memory, as the people argue over & add to or change its meanings... Many are disillusioned and angry, with good reason, at the religionists. It is time for a New Faith, a new Prophet, Who Clarifies & brings new teachings to fit the new age Once again, this is met with skepticism & scorn & The Cycle Begins Anew... Every 500- 1000 years the garment of religion must be made new Many amazing details are connected with this Cycle (See "Spiritual Springtime" among other writings) |

 The Long White Beard Syndrome The idea of God as sort- of a glorified human up on a cloud probably developed out of a more childish age, yet terms like "the Lord" etc., can still invoke that image. Is humanity's rebellion stuck in the recoil from offensive, outdated ideas, including the "Long White Beard" idea that lingers in the often innocently used words "He' & "Him" to refer to that Great Spirit ? Can we forgive reliance on the convenience of the terms--- I am clear that "God" is NOT a human look-alike. "She/ He/It" (if I may use the terms:)) Is Spirit, Being, Essence, ...Something Beyond what words can truly Encompass...

Religion & Peace
It's true that victimizers have used religion in hurtful ways; Yet it is a tool that can be used for good or evil.
Its misuse is largely related to the misunderstandings that have put religions in competition with one another
Religious leaders have done great harm by clinging to outer forms rather than the inner Essence of Spirit
Let us attach to the Light instead of its lamp…
Also see Religious Differences Unveiled
Religion, Competition & Unity
The world is picking up on the idea that religion is one. God did not send competing Prophets,
rather, each religion builds on the books of the ones before…
Throughout history, the faiths have been key in uniting the family, tribe, city, state and nation.
The power of Spirit in Unity is great. When the faiths cease their unholy competition, they can
play a great role in uniting the hearts of the people…
The True Calling of the Faiths is Unity
A legitimate, healing faith for today must uphold an
Absolute Prohibition against violence.
The leader of such a Faith* says that the purpose of religion is to unite human hearts, and
if instead it creates disunity, then we must abandon it…
"The leaders of religion," the Prophet* continues, “set things awry”, misunderstanding
"their true purpose, as agents of one civilizing process", "chapters in the same book of God…"*
This Writer* then charges us to choose a Faith Which brings about Unity.
The needs of Peace include Equality for all, of whatever sex, race, culture or nation
spiritual Solutions for Politics, Economics and Justice as well as personal & World Problems...
Unity is Key-- Without it, there will be no lasting Peace...
