All world Faiths are like colors of the rainbow - they are bright on their own but they must shine together in order to make light.
I have been letting go of the aversions to prayer and communication with GOD that I developed after I rejected the indoctrination I was raised in. I say GOD instead of god or God because I am talking about the highest Source of all creation that has set up covenants with many, many different groups of people across the universe.
I am also seeing the words of the teacher Yeshua in a new light. Last night I picked up the bible I used to read and opened it to some part in the gospels. I was very touched by what I read, which was a few different chapters but I remember one which spoke of not worrying where you will sleep, what you will eat, what you will wear, because GOD knows that we need these things and will not let us go without if we trust. If we put all our energy into worrying about these things we have no free energy to experience the love and compassion of spirit. I also read the part about not judging others, and about being receptive and forgiving. There is so much incredible understanding  there that has been warped, but I truly have faith that people who follow these Faiths are going to realize the true message, and that is the reunification of humanity and GOD.

If we are to praise anything,
should we not praise the sun?
If we are to praise anything,
should we not praise the earth?
Should we not praise the trees,
the winds,
the flowers which bear fruit?
Should we not praise the green plants which give us life and nourishment?
If we are to praise anything,
should we not praise the very source of everything?
That which is formless, endless,
timeless, and unnameable.
If we are to praise anything,
should we not praise the source which gave birth
to the very sun itself?

Be like a leaf in the wind.

I used to go to a fairly "boxy" (close-minded) Christian church, and I was indoctrinated into that belief system for around 12 years of my life. At the age of 16 I began to wake up to the truth about the universe that had been suppressed within my consciousness, and I started the arduous journey of letting go of that belief system. Even to this day I am faced with triggers that I have to consciously face and let go of in order to continue on this path.
There were some things that were said in that place that, if tweaked just a bit to recognize the inherent free will in all emanations of the universe, could have some validity. For example, I was contemplating a certain truth which was brought to my awareness when I thought of a conversation my friend and I had the other day, when she called a certain group of people "evil". I remembered something similar that was said in church. It was something along the lines of "no sin is greater than any other sin". My understanding I have arrived at today was basically the truth that, no act is inherently evil, but some acts are inherently senseless. And all senseless acts have fatal consequences, no matter how sinister or harmless they may appear to be on the outside. Because when you commit a senseless act, you not only hurt someone else, but I feel that you are hurting yourself even more because you have to face the karmic reaction in the future. Any other beings involved in your acts are not affected by your decisions unless they choose to feel important.

The freedom of hopelessness

Hope is a shell. It is hollow. It is wishful thinking at best, and self-denial at worst.
When you let go of hope, you open yourself to the forces of will, trust, faith, and intention. You are no longer at anything or anyone else's mercy. You are guided by the spirit, and receive the mysteries of power. When you surrender to not knowing and let go of self-importance, you experience true freedom.
