Don't be so serious

Having spoken all over the country and experienced different types of religious thought, I have an interesting perspective on Spirituality. In truly believing that God is Love, I believe that God is Joyful. I find that most people who think of themselves as deeply religious are anything but joyful. They judge quickly and harshly out of fear. They get offended quickly they are uptight and completely unhappy. I tend to look at the world through comedy goggles. I find things funny. I like to break the tension and make people laugh.

If God truly is love, would He/She want us to be judgemental, offended, or unhappy. As a loving deity would God not want us to be joyful always? The interesting thing is My approach to spirituality does tend to bring out the negative of these types of people. God is Love. God is Joy. God is Happiness. Judgements, being offended, or unhappiness is a quest for being right. If your are right, you are respected, if you are respected your are loved and so, being in the negative state is the fear of not having Love. God is Love.

It is written," Judge not lest ye shall be judged." If you look at that statement from a different perspective, negative attracts negative. If you judge, the mirror of the universe will mirror judgement upon you. By Judging you are already judging yourself as judgmental. the place of judgement is raising yourself in status over someone else. It is the Ego straining to get respect. respect is Love. It is the fear of not being one with God.

The Message is Simple: be Love. Love is joyful and fun. Love never judges or is offended. Love is always happy. When you fell any other way you have fallen into the ego trap of fear. Recognize it as fear let it go and return to love. You are not sperate from God. You don't need specific rituals or foods to know God. You just need to Love. As Jeshua said,"Love one Another."
When you are personally judged, you have a choice. you can be offended, unhappy and judge them in return perpetuating the fear or you can respond lovingly and allow them to experience God. Most of what is said in judgement is based on religious belief. Remember that religion is the past and spirituality is the present.

I love you all.
