Inward Revolution Creates Outward Revolution
At any moment your heart could stop beating and it could all be over. The brain-body organism that thinks it is you would cease to exist.
If you can truly be with this thought for a moment, the body will produce sensations of fear that the intellect will have a hard time trying to combat. And this is how religion is born.
The era that has spanned for thousands of years - one that is rooted in fear, causes division, promotes superstition - that era is ending now. This is the dawning of a new age.
We no longer need to invent imaginary friends or a jealous father who lives in the sky. We can know who we are without all of this. We can have spirituality without fundamentalism.
In order to be moral, we don't need a list of 10 things or the threat of burning in a pit of fire for all eternity.
In order to be good, we don't need the promise of eternal paradise dangled in front of us.
We, as a race of intelligent beings are in a stage of maturity. We no longer require the parental supervision of Popes, Rabbis and Mullahs.
We are free to seek the Divinity within.
We are free to seek the Divinity in all things.
The spiritual realm is no longer a place that is roped off, only to be visited by special people with special powers. It is everywhere, at all times in all places and yet it transcends place and time - just as we transcend place and time.
You are not your story.
You are not only the brain-body organism which you currently inhabit. You are so much less and so much more.
We as a society can now take off the training wheels of organized religion and awaken to "religiousness" - spirituality without dogma.
Let us give up our jihads, our crusades and take a quantum leap in our consciousness toward radical spiritual evolution. Using the power of Collective Intention we can make this possible and it begins right now.

It's the end of the world as we know it, fortunately. Creation and destruction are the same thing, but appear different depending on where you are standing. All of my talk about OCCUPY simply stems for a concern about suffering imposed on others.…Continue

If you consider yourself to be on any kind of spiritual path, you very likely have had a tendency to be too hard on yourself. You try not to think negative thoughts, to avoid judging others, to avoid "sin". One definition of the word "sin" is…Continue

BIG PICTURE: If we pull back far enough from the minutia and look at the broad strokes, what is happening in the world today is in fact a Mass Awakening. People are waking up spiritually, politically, gaining more access to education, demanding…Continue
