  Are you religious or are you spiritual? Wake up to what?

  there is a huge difference between been religious and been spiritual.

  been religious is about been superior to others in the sight of god.

  however, been spiritual is about self awareness, inner peace and unity with the natural world.

  So you don't think we would benefit from

  1. Gratitude instead of jealousy
  2. Giving more than we take
  3. Love our neighbours as ourselves

  Or such like Woo ideas then??

  Have you read the teachings of these men? Or are you quoting what religion has said about these men? Huge difference.

  Yes that's my point. All the spiritual figures in history taught to same few principles. Principles of which I believe are the mark of true spirituality.

  Principles I hold myself too as a standard of living

  Jesus only said that the law would not pass away until it was fulfilled which he believed he did upon dying. So the law is irrelevant now according to Jesus. X

  Who should you believe? I don't know who you should beleive as I am neither your rabbi or your guru.

  I however beleive that all humanity has the need to be fulfilled by something beyond the superficial. A desire to grow mentally, contribute to the community and be at peace with themselves.

  When you take what the afore mentioned said in its simplest terms they encouraged

  1. Gratitude over jealousy
  2. Love of neighbour starts with love of self
  3. Give more than you take

  Regardless of their political, religious or cultural views I believe holding to values such as these are what they wished for us all to achieve.

  Muhammad taught these principles yet fought in wars.

  Jesus taught these principles yet upheld the mosaic law.

  Bhudda taught these principles while denying all his desires.

  I agree with these principles while.....

  Jesus only said the law would not pass away until it was fulfilled which he believed he did upon dying. X

  Who should you beleive?

  Study the works of spiritually influential people from all cultures and see what conclusion you draw

  Hitler, Starlin and other dictators did not start spiritual movements based on spirituality

  Jesus spoke out against the religious hypocrisy and dogma of a law that was still regarded as godly

  Hope this is not side stepping what you asked. Thanks xx

  Something tells me 1914...

  by Monsieur in

  after todays watchtower lesson, and the lessons coming, something tells me bigger and bigger new understandings are coming.

  and that it will culminate with 1914. notice how jesus is now coming, and no longer already here.

  the current understanding is both, he is here and hes also coming.

  Wow Viviane, your mind is amazing. Jesus would be heavily influenced by Judaism as he was raised under it. Bhudda was raised in a hindu culture which I fluency his words too. But when you look at what these men said there is a common thread.

  1. Love yourself
  2. Love your neighbours
  3. Cultivate the inner person/ mind and heart.

  I don't beleive Jesus desired his followers to claim spirituality by:

  • Underlining a study book
  • Answering set question correctly to a paragraph
  • Doing jobs at a Kingdom hall to show spiritual advancement.

  As the Bhudda himself would say, "I have nothing to teach"

  3. Do jobs at the Kingdom Hall to show your spiritual progress

  I doubt it somehow.

  We do have a spiritual need, a thirst for something beyond the superficial, but all the great spiritual teachers such as Jesus, Muhammad, Bhudda and Ghandi all taught that true spirituality in cultivated from within and not from religious culture.
