Worship?

[MonadicSpectrum]

It seems to me that with religion as soon as a group is formed, then there is an outside, and in the matter of religion, it’s like the inside is right and the outside is wrong, as soon as there’s some dogma in.  I have a feeling this is a sentiment most shared here by the many who post on these forums…

Is there such a religion? Is there a collection of thought-forms/words that is impervious to distortion?

You both are also getting to the heart of the matter. I think most religions seek to be loving, peaceful, and accepting of others in theory but usually fail to accomplish that in practice. I don't foresee "fixing" religion by generating new ideas or a collection of new beliefs but rather helping religious folks become closer to their ideal of being loving and peaceful in practice. I believe the best way to do this is to set the example of being loving and accepting in practice.

I've met plenty of religious folks who are very loving, peaceful, and open-minded so I know it is not the core religious beliefs themselves that are the root cause of the disharmony of religious history. I think part of the problem is that the negative spiritual forces realize that any organized religion that successfully helped polarize humanity positively would result in them losing much power so they quickly identify such efforts that gain momentum and seek to corrupt it. I also think it is important to realize that if we want to unite humanity into a social memory complex, it likely won't happen without building on and uniting religious foundations across the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_re...opulations
