Buddha Never Bowed Before a Statue, and Jesus Never Kneeled Before a Cross

This information comes “through” me from Divine Source, God, All That Is, Creator to bring a message to humanity that many people have forgotten.
Far to many people have become “followers” rather than BEING and living the messages they hold dear.

True spiritual enlightenment comes from one Source; it is the same source that Jesus, Allah, Buddha, and You are connected to. It is Divine Source, and ALL beings of Light are connected to the same Divine Source energy.

I ask you to now close your eyes, and imagine the men named Jesus and Buddha for a moment. Jesus was a Jewish man that sought to bring humanity messages from Divine Source. He was murdered for that. He gave compassion because he learned the ultimate truth, and that is that ALL people, from every land are all Divine spiritual beings, and have the same abilities that Jesus had.

Buddha was also a man that sought to attain enlightenment from Divine Source. He told people to only take what he had to say into their hearts if it felt true for them. He never said to follow him, or create a statue to bow to in his image. So why are there so many people bowing, rather than just being and living the messages?

Oh there will certainly be controversy over this article, because it takes down the rigid structures and places all beings as equal, all as one, and all connected to Divine Source.

Each spiritual path carries wonderful teachings. It is when people take those teachings and create an organized religion out of it that the problems ensue.

Look at the Catholics and Protestants in Ireland that literally KILL each other – all in the name of Jesus Christ. Is THIS what Jesus taught? I would wager to say that the answer is absolutely not!

When people start to create rules, regulations and restrictions all in the name of one person that they believe “must” be worshipped, they have taken all of the teachings and made a huge business out of it.

The Catholic Church has millions of dollars. Why are there so many homeless people? Why are priests given the money for legal counsel when they sexually molested young boys? Why is that money not poured into helping the homeless children in this world?

The teachings of the man Buddha are fantastic. Why are there certain doctrines that seek to encourage people to worship a man, and not each person’s Divine essence, and simply live the teachings of Buddha? Why is there not allowed freedom of expression? Why is everyone bowing before man made plastic statues, when each person can simply be grateful for being an equal part of Divine Source?

You see, it is important for people to feel a sense of belonging, such as in a community where they can gather together and engage in prayer. There is nothing wrong with this at all. It is all of the OTHER rules and regulations that ostracize others if they do not “follow” the “rules” that were made by PEOPLE and not by the one whose teachings they are following to begin with.

There is no need for rules and regulations of any kind. There is no need for censorship. This robs a person from their individual right to explore the teachings in their purest form, without all of the “business” and organized rules that many organizations create.

The teachings are so simple; they are that hard to follow for so much of humanity. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Give compassion for others, as you would like them to have compassion for you. Share from your heart, and have pure motives and deeds.

Jesus didn’t belong to a church, and Buddha never prayed before a statue in his image. Additionally, the deity’s of Light are ALL a part of the same Divine source. All of the Angels, the Saints, all people are part of the same Divine Source.

There is a quote from the book “If God Was Like Man” and that is: (coming from Divine Source) “I would venture to say that your organized religions are causing much discord and disorganization among your people.”

That seems to be an understatement. So should the author of this article be on a hit list because Divine Source had another message to bring through to humanity? Should Jesus have been killed? Never! However, do not worship to follow others, pray and get connected to BECOME the highest level of light you can attain in this lifetime. Pray as an equal Divine Co-Creator – because that is what you are! So many millennia have passed, and humanity is STILL fighting over religion.

Who exactly crated the Vows that so many people take? Did Jesus create them? No. Did Buddha create them? No. So it was man that created them, along with the statues.

ANY Divine Being of Light will come to your aid when you call on them. However, as an enlightened being, I am sure you will attest that if a person lived on Earth, such as our dearly missed Saint (Mother) Teresa, SHE did not ask for statues to be made in her image, and she did not require certain prayers to be said to her. She is as much of a Saint as Paul, or any of the others. What Saint (Mother) Teresa probably would have requested is to take that money and feed the hungry children.

So many religious organizations have great plans to build large structures for worshipping before statues, and yet are they really doing anything to help the little ones in dire need?

This is where the “organized” part of religion needs to be re-organized. There must be a budget to help the children that are sick, hungry and homeless, BEFORE the money is spent on more statues, decorations, and items to create a structure of worship.

There is only one place from where you can truly worship and get connected to whomever you wish to pray to, and that place is your heart.
That is ALL you need is your heart, and your mind. You NEVER need to FOLLOW anyone. Just be who you are – exactly as Jesus and Buddha were – they were themselves, and they attained spiritual enlightenment without all of the decorations. They helped so many people. Now, it’s your turn.
Take this message and create a NEW way – humanity for humanity. Uplift others lives rather than try to be or create a follower. Live the messages from your heart – there is no need to bow before anything that the ascended masters never bowed before. That was all created by man AFTER they passed over.

Realize that you are a spark of the same Divine essence as those you worship. Live their messages, and become yet another example of spiritual enlightenment. It only requires your heart – that is where your essence dwells. Use your mind to co-crate, and do so with love, pure motives, and positive actions.

You will then be living the messages. No statues are required.

It’s Time

Thank You for helping to Uplift Humanity!

Greetings to all of you that have been looking for a new view, a new way to live life and excel beyond any dream you have ever had.

Let me first let you know that the energy on Earth at this time is going through layers and layers of spiraling change. This spiral is the Light that exists within each one of you that is spiraling upwards as you grow closer to your Divine core of Self.

You see, many of you are vastly connected to Source energy at all times. And many of you are still trying to figure our “how” to create it all. What is happening to you at this time is you are seeing some people soar in life, and others falter as if they are in quicksand.

This is the message that I ask you to send to them. No person on Earth has more of a connection to Divine Source than any other. It is simply a matter of opening up to your connection and to co-create as a light being that you are, rather than look at your life from the vision that your five senses shows you.

All of you have the capacity to co-create with any facet of the Light that you may feel most comfortable calling upon and working with – be it God, Christ, Divine Source, Allah, Buddha, Mother Mary, and of the Saints, any of the Angels – all are a part of the same source energy from which you created yourself in this lifetime.

There are some of you that worship others as if those areas of worship (the people or beings you call upon) are somehow “better” than you are. Certainly every facet of the Light has unique attributes. Such as a “phone a friend” that has certain qualities and attributes or areas in specialization that another friend may not “specialize” in – however, all are an equal part of Divine Source as you are.

I ask you to take this time to stop looking at your past, and the drama, pain, and experiences you have had, and to start to look at how much growing and learning you have done, so that you can see a great purpose to all of the experiences you have encountered.

Certainly nobody likes to go through unpleasant experiences. However, just as a soldier may sacrifice his or her life for freedom, and just as you would give honor and love to that soldier for their sacrifice, it is the same thing in your life, when you have chosen on a soul level to undergo certain experiences so you can serve to uplift both yourself and those around you as a result.

This message may seem at odds with what you expect to hear, however, it is time for you to take many deep breaths and give yourselves a break!

So many of you are “struggling” emotionally. Where are you “looking” for your love of Self? Where do you think your answers lie? They all exist in your heart. It does take effort to reach and live purely from your heart center, as the ego and fears keep pulling you back into the past. It is time to relinquish the past and take all you have learned from it, and with a great deal of compassion understand that on a soul-level you did choose your experiences so that you could learn, grow, and ultimately serve in your own unique way, according to your greatest joys and your true delight.

Please stop the drama.

Why is there so much sadness? Why do you feel unloved or unlovable? Some of you are struggling deeply with this area. You are all lovable – because you are. No matter what you hear in the media, no matter what events unfold before your eyes, please remember that you are Divine Source energy, in a physical life, and the sooner you come to fully trust your Divine co-creative capacity, the sooner you will create the life that is even beyond what you have ever dreamed.

You deserve to laugh, and smile, and have inner peace. You deserve comforts, and joy and pleasure. Stop thinking that you have to “sacrifice” so much.

Start being the joy you want to see in this world. Start smiling more, and look for the joy in this world to come from your heart and radiate out to all around you, so that you can create more joy – the joy you wish to see on Earth.

I ask you to stop taking it all so seriously, and to start in-joy-ing life.

Be in joy.

It can only come from within you – not outside of you.

So let your hair down – and laugh a lot more. Some of you sit in silence as if silence must be observed. Silence and quiet time, or meditation are wonderful times to get you connected, however, the rest of your day can be filled with joy and laughter.

Some of you are trying too hard. Just be . That is all you need to do is be and laugh and create!

This is a bittersweet time. Create more of the sweetness you would like to see in this life by bringing out the sweet light you are within. Be Well, and Please Laugh More!
