The search for Divinity

For many years now we as human kind have been searching for "The Divine Light", some heavenly body or being to guide us.

Many place their faith that this exists and that it is an External Force, something which we have little to no control over. We do this because it is what our religious leaders want us to believe, because it maintains their power over our system of belief and therefore US, as man will believe in anything that we believe will  take us to a better place when we die. 

The origins of the word church, were defined as a group of people gathering together in a space to worship a "Divine Entity". 

I personally feel that this energy that we feel when we are gathered together is not brought about by an External Force, but rather an Internal Force. 

It is a connection of people and the positive energy that lies in us all. This "Divine Light" is not divine at all but very much a spiritual connection between us all.

We are the light it all depends if we chose to turn it on and look internally at ourselves, and be willing to judge ourselves as we judge those around us. This is something that to many of us is terrifying as we like to think of our selves as "GREAT" but what makes great people, truly great, is the fact that they do not see them selves as perfect.

But also we must be willing accept the thoughts and beliefs of others. Be willing to listen to their opinions even if they completely and utterly contradict what we believe.

This is the way that we learn about what we truly believe in and not what we have been told we "MUST" upon pain of death, and horrible things happening to you in which ever hell you might believe in.

I personally know many people will disagree with what I have written here, but personally I have met many people, who have made claim to be open minded but the minute that you talk about religion these claims go out the window and they become as closed off a chastity belt.
