Between You and the Divine

Continually, you fight over your spiritual practices. 

Laws are created to protect some practices while restricting others. What this proves, and what you reflect to the world, is that your faith is weak.

If you have a strong connection to the Divine, by whichever name you call it; that connection can never be severed.

You fight not for the right to your spiritual practices, but for the right to practice them in front of others and to force others to practice as you do.

Long before there was religion, there was safety in numbers. 

A united group, with similar beliefs and ideas was less likely to be killed by a predator, and the larger the group, the more it would be able to assert its domination over others.

The practices you hold dear, are older than religion itself. 

Much like the caveman (or woman), the time has come to put down your spears and realize that you do belong to one group: the human race.

You are all headed in the same direction even if you choose separate paths. You can discover this now, or wait until your fears have resulted in the very devastation and death you have been worried about.

There are as many religions as there are people on Earth, for each, despite his spiritual practice, has a unique connection to Spirit. No one else experiences this connection in exactly the same way.

Spirituality should always make you feel lighter, stronger and more connected to life and those around you. If your practice makes you fearful or angry, then perhaps you should rethink it.

There is a better way. It is the path of love......for all, those you hate and those you agree with. No one can take your Divine experience away from you, except....you.~Silas

They Can't Take it Away

Spiritual practice can be a wonderful thing. 

It can bring people together for a common purpose and strengthen the resolve and inspire all those in attendance. 

Many of you have found practices that give you a sense of belonging and pleasure. That is good. For you.

It might not evoke the same feelings in another. 

You will not pull yourself closer to the Divine by demanding that others join you in your practice. If your practice suits you, then you have no need to involve others. 

If you feel that your spiritual experience is ruined when others are not forced to witness it or join in, then your beliefs and faith are weak.

No one can sever your link with the Divine, except you.

If you feel that all around you must believe as you do, you are living in fear and looking for safety in numbers. 

As with anything else, when you look outside yourself, you will never find what you seek. 

If you believe in your spiritual practice, then practice. Let others join in o not as they see fit. They cannot change or destroy your relationship with the Divine. 

Group thinking can bring about positive change, but it can also perpetuate and strengthen prejudice and fear.

If you feel the need for spiritual connection, talk to the Divine, to your guides, ascended masters and angels. We of the Fae realm would appreciate a positive connection as well. 

If someone asks about your practice then share if you like. Just don't demand that they listen. 

The ultimate cosmic bit of humor, is that you are all headed to the same place. You can drive, walk, sail, or ride a bike to get there. No mode of transportation is wrong, as long as you don't force others to get into your car. 

Kidnapping is not a spiritual practice. Any ransom you get is not worth the karmic debt you will incur. 

Enjoy your spiritual life. Opt for the private session rather than being a member of the audience.

It is much more valuable and it is free of charge. ~Silas

Everything You Really Should Know........

Let us talk, today, about sex.

You may be seeking a greater spiritual connection and sexual activity would appear to be the antithesis of that.

Why do you believe this?

You seek enlightenment through controlled, repetitive, directed activity, such as focused meditation, prayer or chanting. The purpose of these activities is to move beyond the activity into a state of unrestrained bliss and pleasure.

Sound familiar? A deliberate, directed action that erupts into chaos. 

Ancient societies incorporated sex into their spiritual practices as it was thought to bring about a communion with the Divine.  There are a few in your modern society that still practice this.

So how did a holy act become a shameful abomination, used only reluctantly for procreation?

Your judgment of sex comes from a primal fear of vulnerability. A cave dweller enjoying an intimate evening with a mate, a tribal celebration that erupts into group sex, set upon by an enemy or predator and unable to defend themselves, would be a serious concern.

Ancient superstitions of  “punishment” and “wrath of the gods” grew up around these fears. They were picked up by societies and religions as a means of controlling the population.

“But what about young people? What about sexual predators?” you ask.

Your young ones have natural feelings that you fail to explain to them, or convince them that they are unnatural. They rebel against you and have sex because they cannot overcome these urges and because it is forbidden. 

Sexual predators do harm. That is never acceptable. Usually, they operate from a sense of deep shame that was instilled in them through humiliation or abuse.

Consensual, safe sex behind closed doors harms no one. The only Divine hand at work is the one who gave you these urges that lead to amazing pleasure.

What a generous gift to waste over guilt. 

Enjoy your sexual pleasure. While you travel through your life, on this planet, it is an experience not to be missed. ~Silas
