Dogma
Our societies have been molded by adherance to religious beliefs, ceremonies and dogmas. As we come to an age where we have the opportunity to set aside many of the limitations of our structures, those who fear change will, no doubt rebel. Thus we have the hypocrisy of fundamentalists who kill to stop the killing through abortion and equally the individuals who strap bombs to themselves and walk into crowded markets. I believe one of the villians in the devastation caused by such acts is the various dogmas of religions.
Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is within you". That being said, the outer ceremonies and rituals are unneccessary. I was recently invited to be involved in a large scale event know as the "Dance of Oneness". As I delve deeper into the event I realize that many of the "New Age" groups are just creating a whole new set of rituals, ceremonies and dogma. It is the enlightenment of the Masses that will bring the kingdom of heaven here to earth, but it is not through standing in some form of geometric ceremony that will do it.
If in Fact, "God is Love," than the pathway to God is through the words of the Avatars of the past. The one who summed it up best,I believe, was Jesus when he commanded us to ,"Love One Another". The pathway to God is through the very act of being Love. Embody it, Feel it, Give it freely, Enjoy the feeling of it and realize that it IS God. We do not need more Dogma as many of the New Age groups are creating. If anything we need less. Love is Beautiful.
About Me
- John of New
- Medina, Ohio, United States
- Imagine being told by numerous psychics that you walked with Jesus two thousand years ago. This is what happened to John C. Davis, a comedy performer of over two decades. How would you react? John decided to find a regression therapist and get the answers once and for all. The regression revealed what many had already told him: he was the reincarnation of John the Beloved Apostle. After experiencing through regression the enormous Love of the man called Jeshua, John decided that he had to share his stories of spiritual healings and miraculous events that have transpired in this life as John C. Davis. and to share the messages that were given to John so long ago. Two thousand years of interpretation of scriptures have affected their meanings. If we are here to come to know God, would God make the path so difficult that we could never find our way? The message brought forth from the regression is that the pathway to God is simple: LOVE. No Dogma, no ceremony, just Love.
