Law of One Religion?

[mjlabadia]

   Gosh everyone,
     I hate to see us at loggerheads like this. Perhaps we ventured off the road of intention for Monica's original post?
 
     I feel strongly that yes, The LOO, like any other philosophy can be distorted into a religion or worse, some type of believers' mandate. Complete with all of the dogma, holy bogeys, wrath, lightning bolts, etc., we have come to feel aversion for in many of mankind's religious co-creations.
   
    I wonder if that's the key element here. Perhaps it isn't that those we refer to as "religious fundamentalists" are extreme believers, but more that they became extremely separated from the "fundamental" concept of the original intent of the philosophy they claim to follow.

 Using Christianity as an example, my understanding was that the entity Jesus Christ, didn't set out to create a "religion" with all it's trappings. It seems to me that he was relating a life concept of tolerance, love, and understanding of the very ideas which made the Law of One so attractive to us.
  Wasn't it certain elements of mankind, with our distortions toward control, greed, elitism, who turned the beauty of the concept into a control tool?
  
  And perhaps those distortions were continually multiplied in the many translations, (interpretations), of what eventually became the new testament.

  I think we see this in all of what we now call religions. Islam, Old Testament Judaic, etc. All of their various spin-offs, or "co-creations".

  I see it more of a "slipping away" from the fundamental concepts of the original philosophies.

  I don't imagine many of these great Third Density Thinkers / Higher Density Wanderers said,...."I'm going to create a belief system in which I am worshiped,........and those who don't worship me are ostracized,....excommunicated,....whipped/stoned/beheaded,..........Women can't wear dresses above their ankles,....or must wear opaque full body condoms",.....etc. 

 Perhaps all of the worlds religions, started out as some spiritually advanced, but still human being, meditating on all our suffering saying,...."Hey man, I've been thinking about this,.....I've noticed that when I live in a mindful manner,......and try to understand and help those around me,......life seems to go a little easier for me and those around me."

  And sure, some of these could have been Wanderers/Messengers, with a high level of spiritual development, and a less veiled understanding of this density. So yea, they may have been able to perform the healings and Law of Physics violations that we called "miracles".

 But I get the impression these creative and thoughtful mind/spirit/body complexes, didn't have thunderous voices, spouting out "thou shalts" and "thou shalt nots".

 I wonder if they were just one of us, starting out just like this,....thinking about all of the suffering,.....already blessed with less of a veiling,......then really growing in understanding. Maybe a handful of epiphanies on the way.

  Perhaps the very first step towards some of the great life concepts, that became philosophies, that became distorted into religions, all started out like this;    

   A Parsons, Monica, Diana, Gary, Gemini, Minytour,....(too many to remember),.......and I,........were sitting around the "campfire" of the historical reference point,.....relaxing in the manner of the historical reference point,.......and communicating utilizing the methods of the historical reference point,..............
      
   When one of us said to the rest,..........

   "Hey guys,.......don't laugh, but I've been living my life in such and such manner,....and I've really been feeling GREAT!! I feel a sort of completeness,... a sense of peace......sort of being at One With The Cosmos..............I was wondering what you guys think about this?"
