GOD’S CHOSEN

5/19/10

Who are God’s “chosen”? Are they one specific religious tradition? No, I don’t think so. To be the “chosen” is to recognize the perpetual need for self-enlightenment. “I think, therefore I am.” It’s the awareness of one’s creation and the subsequent responsibility to nurture and grow and pay back for the earned wisdom. This resulting synergy is the Godhead and those participating in this creative reality are the “chosen”.

Though I find organized religion important in the respect that it gives order to so many and creates community for those who otherwise have none, I find the resulting “politic” of organized religion the antithesis of being with God.

To walk with God everyday one doesn’t need witnesses to attest how pious one is. Being with God is personal and the individual who chooses this path will know when he deviates from it.

The organized sects have a tradition of community, some older than others, their continuance is more important than the pursuit of God that they profess. And the resulting self-importance has caused war and genocide throughout the ages.

God didn’t create himself for those who are aware of him to destroy themselves. God is... Enlightenment falls onto the (chosen) few who recognize the need to be “human”.

Ironically, it has been this enlightened few who have been the target of persecution by the religious traditionalists since time began.

The only solace is God’s love when recognizing ones purpose and subsequent vision quest in life. This ultimate gift is not to be bored. There is a heaven and hell! And mankind has the power to chose for himself and thus taking God’s path become one of the “chosen”.
