Many have confused the terms spirituality and religion. Whereas one enhances the other, the terms are not necessarily synonymous. Religions were created to provide a context for spiritual expression, but are not the only avenues toward the advancement of one's soul toward the Higher Planes.
Consider the number of religions that have emerged in mankind's history. Which one of them expresses the correct Truth?
From the Light we emerged, and back to the Light we will merge.
The Universe Truth is embodied in the Message of Christ, not Jesus the religion, but Christ the Truth.
Love. Forgiveness. Karma (sow what you reap). Service. Tolerance.
Examine your actions, intention, attachments & motivations.
The vibrational frequency you achieve will determine the part of 'heaven' you will be drawn to. Intend to be a High Spirit.

We create our own cocoon
The energy we put forth
is the energy we build around us

We make our own jail
and bring with us our own heaven

All through the 1980's, I read voraciously all things spiritual, philosophical, existential, metaphysical & transcendental. Each avenue I explored contained a beautiful little 'gem of truth', and with enough 'elbow grease' I found enough gems of truth to place them into my own personal forming mosaic, which evolved into a seemingly airtight philosophy, based in Love.
Reading Christ's Teachings with a new spiritual sight, many questions were answered, and many puzzle pieces were put into place.
One avenue I explored made a profound effect....it was a book written 140 years ago, by Allan Kardec. I won';t go on and on bout who he was, or what the book contained, but if you are interested, read for yourself the book, the link didn't take but you can just google Allan Kardec, The Spirit's Book. But if you do, prepare for hours of fascinating reading. You won't be able to put it away. The link in my previous post is even better.

Happy reading.... http://www.spiritwritings.com/kardecspiritsintro.html

I have found a better link to the 4 book set known as 'Life Beyond The Veil', it does not require Adobe.
This is the most fascinating reading ever, the 39 page introduction/preface/prologue is not in this version, and it is well worth the read, and well worth the search. But the body speaks for itself, Once you start reading this, you just can't stop. Happy Reading...
