Do you practice religion?

I grew up in a Christian household, however I saw through a lot of things. I found it hilarious that everything was a sin, according to adults who sinned.

As I got older, and developed my own thoughts and personality, my own mother saw it as a threat. At one point, she asked if I thought I was smarter than “god,” implying that I wasn’t and never would be. Of course, I was in highly gifted and talented, and my aptitude and similar tests were off the charts.

I saw that people who could think were a threat to religion. Having been abused as a child, I realized religion was used as an escape from the truth. As it was also used to control those considered “small minded,” and in some cases, research has shown…those with mental retardation were easy targets as well.

That was disheartening to me. I saw through the lies, and decided it wasn’t for me. In 2011, the start of what’s known as The Arab Spring, I reprimanded Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. I stated if they were truly the children of “god,” cutting off the electricity, and stopping the water supply would be beneath them.

After making this statement, my mother was furious with me. She even had the nerve condemn me to hell – funny – given that she had a hand in my abuse. She has done unspeakable horrors to her other children as well…I was drawing a blank with her reaction.

Down the self awakening hole I went…and the further down I went, the more truths I discovered. As a previously written blog explains, intelligence is knowledge from within. And really, outside sources cannot compare to the knowledge one receives from Source.

I talk about chakras, energy and healing, but really…the less control I allowed others to have over me…the more I began to learn about myself. Understanding myself has always allowed me to understand others, even when someone kept trying to cloak me from such truths.

I am not near the end of my journey, but I am glad to have dictated away from the crowd control. I have found myself – and my higher self. And as far as I’m am concerned, we are all the creator. The universe is not a Fortune 500 company, or anything with a CEO and lesser minions. The ideology is a man made thing. It’s dangerous, it’s poisonous, and its purpose is to control and drain the human spirit, which is the most precious resource on this plane.

I would dwell any deeper, I can go on about my discoveries and my understanding. I also do not wish to judge others choices, because we are all on different paths.

I am glad I learned for myself.
