I was brought up a Roman Catholic, but before my twenties I realized there was something missing, I wasn't getting it, there had to be more to it. Why were there other religions, why was there information on extra sensory perception? I began looking for the truth.
I was told I had original sin! What is this original sin? Everyone supposedly lives with this original sin. After quite a few decades I think I can understand what this is. It is not my sin, it is the church's sin, but we wear it, or put up with, suffer it on their behalf for the rest of our lives. The church has made us guilty for something that they have perpetrated on us for nearly two thousand years. Firstly we all had to be made to feel unworthy, slightly tainted to suffer there indulgences. Secondly by obscuring or hiding the obvious way to find Christ consciousness through his teachings, and invoking it from within, by obscuring the simplicity, that the answers were within, not out there or up there in heaven.
Sin translates from the Greek meaning mistake! It is a mistake on our part that we haven't understood the teachings of Christ from nearly two thousand years of study. When we realize what this sin is, how it is done, what the truth is, then we don't need to be a follower of any one but ourselves.
So this is why the battle began! Priests, pastors, and followers are so hooked on the power over us, we had given away our power, we became followers, and told to follow the words of Jesus, He saved us by him dying on the cross for us, and no amount of discussing can they go beyond the words in the bible, or the gospels. I wanted the deeper meaning, I couldn't get an explanation, and none was ever given.
I suppose I wanted the way into the kingdom of heaven, I wanted to find the doorway into the inner kingdom, the kingdom within, as I discussed in my last post. All I got was more words more passages to back up the last. It was useless, pointless, so I continued searching, followed many paths, found pieces every where, but putting them together now that was the hard part.
Libraries were destroyed, Mystery Schools went underground, and became secret, teachings were hidden, even burnt, indigenous cultures were destroyed by missionaries, heathens were burnt at the stake. Did I miss anything out done in the name of their god? Ever wonder why the red Indians weren't allowed to do the sun dance? Because it was their re-enactment of the crucifixion, and the medicine man tried to teach his people about invoking spirit, but they too made it into a song, and dance to put bottoms on seats, complicate things, otherwise it was too easy.
Council of Nice 329AD, removed 36 books of the Bible, and New Testament, and Council of Trent (1545-1563) they put them back again. Did they change their minds, or did they edit them further to perpetrate further the original sin.
Fortunately they didn't removed all traces of how to get to the inner kingdom. In examining, and following another path I came across a teaching about the cross of spiritual power, and human power creating magic, that finally gave me an inkling of what the scriptures through the words of Christ were saying about becoming like him, and following the creator, not him.
Then there is the trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, I see this as Creator, Created, Wholly spirit. Elaborating further, it means that the divine spark within really makes us all equal, because we all have a piece of creator within, we are not separate from creator, creator is within everyone, and when we recognize that, and know ourselves, we realize that we are not separated from anyone, we are all related, so when we hurt another we are doing it to creator. The first thing I learnt, and only remembered about recently, making everything clearer, GOD is everywhere!
So if love, gratitude, and compassion are the tools to reach the inner kingdom, why are they stopping us from reaching there. In one word power, they the church loses their power over us, because we could invoke Christ Consciousness, and become as powerful as Christ. They can't have that happening, us activating our junk RNA/DNA, unlocking our subconscious and realizing what, and who we are. We are being taught to hate, we are taught to be materialistic, we are not taught to love, we are taught not to be compassionate. What is being said from the pulpit, what is coming out of the box in the living room, what is coming from the written word, is it part of the problem or part of the solution. I don't see 'the powers to be' preaching care of self, others, and earth as of any importance to life on this planet, because those three things done in balance would be creating heaven, not hell!
Finally realizing that the pope is not infallible, he is our equal in fact that everyone one is equal, the only chosen people are the ones that invoke Christ Consciousness, that is the only rapture, a state of grace, or bliss when you find what, or who resides within. No one is excluded from entering the inner kingdom, because we each have our own doorway, all religions are trying to get to the same places, given the same clues, but said in different ways, they might be from different nations, different skin colours, they might call the Creator different names but we each have that same divine spark within. We are all HUE man beings, we all have to live on this planet together. We can make it paradise, heaven, nirvana, or Shangri-La.
So do 'all roads still lead to Rome'? First they tried almighty god (excommunication, and death), secondly by the almighty sword (war in the name of god, god being on their side), and finally through the almighty dollar (owning banks, because who ever controls the money controls everything).

Going To Kingdom Come! #3
What an expression! What does it mean, where is it, how do you get there? It is a bit of a paradox, or a conundrum! Some of us are wondering where we are going, heaven or hell? What's coming for us, heaven or hell? So what part are you playing in its creation? Me play a part in its creation say you? How could this be?
Christmas is a celebration where we get reminded about the birth of a man who talked about a kingdom, an inner kingdom, a kingdom we couldn't enter unless we became like a child again. He also said that we can become like him. He said the kingdom is within! I don't see it, I can't feel it!
The psychiatrists tell us human consciousness uses only about 10% of the brain, and is associated with human power, they don't know what the subconscious does. Also the geneticist tell us they have mapped the DNA genomes, and they can only say 10% is useful, and associated with human body parts, organs, and human body functions, the other 90% is junk.
My conclusion is that it is not useless as we are led to believe, but there is a purpose for it. Perhaps this is the inner kingdom, and is this the reason we can't feel it, because it is an integral part of us. Christ said we could be like him, does this mean heal, manifest, walk on water, could this be a hint that we also have this spiritual power ready to be activated within us.
What is the tool to open the inner kingdom? Could it be being like a child, or having the innocence of a child. How do adults create this innocence? How about the emotions of unconditional love, gratitude, and compassion. When those three things are being used can we earn trust, and respect, and can we follow the three rules, caring for self, others, and earth, and can we take back our power, heal and evolve as true human beings. Is that how we bring Christ into our kingdom, is that how we individually create heaven on earth, not hell on earth.

Feelings or Emotions #2
So what about feelings or emotions?
Some of you have read Gregg Braden books (I hope you have), or gone to his workshops, and seen his videos, and remember he talks about the lost mode of prayer. He was told by the monk high up in his monastery high in the Himalayas that we have to pray with thought, and emotion.
What does that mean? It means that to manifest something we think about it, and give it emotion. But what feeling do we give that thought? I say gratitude!
Some of you remember what we used to do before a meal? We used to say grace! We offered gratitude to the food, and to those that provided it, but we only said it we didn't go that one step further, and offer it and feel it in our heart.
The secret is that we can do this for everything in our life, the good, and the bad. The bad you say! Yes the bad, because it is a lesson, a learning experience, be grateful that you have learnt something new. Did you learn that you have to try something different to get a different result? Did you discover a new way reacting.
I say that it is about one or two words, which depends on how you think, and feel, and that is responsibility, or response ability. So it is about thinking, and feeling, the thought provoked, and emotion is evoked.
Remember there are those out there that love pushing our buttons, the old action reaction game. It is there way of shifting responsibility from them to you. The good old one two, your reaction shifts their responsibility of their action (word or deed), your emotions gets you into trouble. Learn about your response ability, and stop playing the game, letting others play on your emotions, and driving you to distraction.
Remember unless you change direction you get to where you are going!

KISS Method #1
So I like to simplify, here is the KISS Method, some of you know it as :
Keep It Simple Stupid.
Keep It Simple Sweetheart.
Keep It Simple Swami, (my favourite).
Keep It Simple Spirit ( an obvious one- thanks silentlighthouse)
So it is all about awareness, a shift in awareness. A shift from where? A shift from your head to your heart. A shift from thinking to feeling. A shift from being ego centred, to spirit centred, from being materialistic to spiritualistic.
As well as shifting awareness keep in mind the following the three main rules :
Care of self.
Care for others.
Care for the land.
Making sure you don't get stuck on, or in one of these modes, it all needs to be in balance.
