Free will, a way to God, a way to enlightenment.

To reach enlightenment and to truly connect to god you must step clear of faith to reach an understanding. You cannot reach god if you are bound by faith as you follow guides set by people rather than god. Many put their faith in Jesus or Muhammad, or whatever their religious foundation incurs. However these sheep are lost to a shepherd who is no more. Instead the sheep follow self serving groups who use the names of Spiritual leaders to guide them to their own gains at the cost of the sheep. God gave of free will for a reason. So we can explore our world with fascination and to decided for ourselves to come back and respect and look to him for guidance. Those who worship our spiritual leaders such as Jesus and Muhammad are lost for they are no longer in touch with God but rather look to a middle man who no longer exists. We are not meant to worship the idols of religion but seek out god and ask for direction from him. The religious peoples will fight this notion because they grasp at the weak foundation. They see their foundation as strong however but without the free will that God has offered us they don’t explore to see the problems within their own lines of thinking. You can look at Muslims or Christian’s who are fundamentalist in their belief systems. The stronger their faith in their religion, the more dangerous to society and to the world around them they are. They lose sight of God in the name of Jesus or Mohammad. Most of these people are fighting over the beliefs in their spiritual leaders and lose sight of their teachings which are to bring us closer to God. People who worship their spiritual leaders have put themselves farther from God. That was not their intentions but the intentions of the religions to control the sheep though belief. In order for religions to gain control of their flock they had to take free will which was given by god and replaced it with faith to take away the ability to question. God welcomed the question because he knew that they answer would bring enlightened people back to him. Religion interceded and derailed the teachings of Jesus and Mohammad in order to gain control for self serving people. People of faith will argue as they do not look within and they will not question the hypocrisy of their actions in relation to their religious beliefs or faith. Take the pro life movement, a noble movement, however these people often are politically on the side which is Pro death penalty, Pro guns, and are the first to murder an abortion doctor. This is not the way of god or the teachings of our spiritual leaders. Jesus did not need the right to bear arms. His belief in God protected him until his time to die. Jesus wanted better for all those who were on the path to god, not just a few rich. Yes, Jesus was probably not as much a capitalist than he was a Socialist in his beliefs. God gave us the world to live in and respect. Jesus turned sinners to god so they moved in the right direction, he did not condemn them and he did not kill them. The religious people who outwardly condemn others face god when their time comes and he will decide to condemner’s fate. Those who condemn people in the name of God or Jesus or Mohammad are saying they are as good as God, Jesus or Muhammad and they are placing themselves at a level they can never achieve. They will reach judgment when they are confronted by god. It is not our position to make those judgments but leave those to God himself. People need to reflect on the own misgivings. People need to love one another as that’s what we are taught through the teachings with in different biblical texts. We need to move closer to God and move away from religion. We need to respect the world that god gave us and take care of it and the environment and people within that environment. We need to reach enlightenment and open ourselves to the heavens. Until we ask and question our beliefs we will never know if we are on the right path. Just because someone tells us a path is the right one, doesn’t mean it is. That is why god gave us free will, so that we can find the right path.
