Black Spirituality Religion : The Biggest Dividing Factor

[hiphopolx]

Some teach, in this age, that the Self is inextricably bound to the flesh. But, to think that is to infer that the Self is lacking something which must be provided by the flesh. If that were true, the Self would not, could not, be divine.
The substance that make up all known physical things must also be considered in the equation. It provides the vehicle for our consciousness.
You have to decide --- are you a human or a divine being?
I've decided the latter

The physical is temporal. It changes, it grows, it decays, it dies. But, the Self is Eternal. The Self does not need the body. The Self existed prior to the body and will exist after the body.
I agree here execpt that physical is temporal. If you were to grab a handful of sand from the beach and pour it back to the ground. It didn't just go away it went back to it's source.

I'm late for work I'll finish later.
Peace.

The substance that make up all known physical things must also be considered in the equation. It provides the vehicle for our consciousness.

And, that substance, the only real substance, is the Eternal Father, God. The Son of God, the only begotten Son of God, is the Word, from which all things were made, ergo, "many were the things which came into being, coming forth from my mouth". Or, in another holy book, "all things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."

Neither God, nor the Word, nor Self is physical. They are One, the One indivisible Unitive substance from which all is manifest. I and my Father are One. You, and I, and my Father are One. White Folks, and You, and I, and my Father are One. Animals, minerals, plants, White Folks, You, I, and my Father are One. This is the Original Truth, the mystery, flowing within all holy books -- in some, more of a mystery than others.

I agree here execpt that physical is temporal. If you were to grab a handful of sand from the beach and pour it back to the ground. It didn't just go away it went back to it's source.

And, that source is no-thing, no physical thing. Nowadays, beach sand is riddled with all manner of impurities. But, all that is sand can be reduced to atoms. And, all those atoms can be reduced to subatomic particles. But, from there, the shadow of the physical disappears and the real is revealed --- the substance from which all is manifest --- energy, force, vibration, the Word, Aum/Atum/Amen, consciousness, Divine Consciousness --- God.

But, man can not "see" consciousness. There is no physical evidence of it. There is only faith, and physical evidence of the effects of the One's attributes/neters.

Some men "get" this. Some throw up their hands and deny the real. Some erect temples made by their own hands, calling them religions, to house faux gods made in their own image. And, from there, the adherents of temple A war with the adherents of temple B, both secure in the self-serving delusion that only their god is The Real God. Hence, Keita's initial observation that religion is the biggest dividing factor.

But, we have to be careful when we say that. For, that is how religions begin. First, some accurately perceive the error of the religions which came before. But, then, in time, those same righteously indignant folk end up getting together and forming yet another religion --- theirs just as intolerant and divisive as all the religions that came before.

Man is hardwired to yearn for the answers to Who am I, What made me, and Why? Perhaps, this is the hidden meaning of the bible's contention that man was created to subdue the earth. We _HAVE_ to know Who/What/Why and, if we have to, we will even create a religion out of being an atheist or an agnostic as a Way to find answers to Who/What/Why.
