If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Day 4: Organized Religion & Nutrition

10 Days Of Upheaval & Fulfillment

Because we are spirit beings, our natural inclination is towards the Greater and Higher Source of our birth. We have a need to be connected. This need is greater on the spiritual level than it is on the social level. This is of no surprise since we are mostly spirit anyway. One way we seek spirit connection is through organized religion. Unfortunately what we mostly get is human-manipulated rules and regulations rather than natural laws and personal growth. The tuition for these teachings is our resources. We also choose to give up our individual ability to sense what is true in the world. We settle for becoming afraid of spirituality. This chokes off the purifying streams trying to reach our consciousness. Similar behavior is displayed in cults and country-sized culture clubs.

Religion of this type does not insist upon the universal, the ecosystem or the natural world as primary. The temple body, temple mind and temple spirit are not seen as sacred. It encourages adherence to non-spiritual governments, cultures, societies, traditions, customs, practices and norms. It allows Church to be separate from State. Furthermore, it's okay to go for a free-for-all capitalism, vote for a not-for-all nationalism and praise a come on y'all institutionalism to freeze your mind and your free will with indoctrination aka education consisting of a preset programming of information as opposed to self-familiarization for optimization of individualization, thus harmonization.

Based on modern societal results, most religions are obviously serving lifeless stuff to hungry spirit beings. This has left the world malnourished of the healthy kind of extremists who are guided by the spiritual ascension of love. The spirit must be fed even more than the body. This is of no surprise since our spirit portion is larger than our physical portion. We're never going to get enough food by eating a few times a week.

If this lack of nutrition wasn't true, based on the number of religious followers in the world, spirit beings would have long since mustered the energy and chased those crazy bad guys out of town. They would have either beat them down, prayed them down or at least stopped voting for them. Believers would have gotten rid of all the laws that infringe inherent rights at home, next door and abroad. Believers would not allow money to be the power or businesses and special interest groups to dictate society.

Clearly, the largest organized religions, and several smaller ones, are not feeding the flock proper nutrition or leading them to green pastures according to The Plan For Globally Getting Along. These religions merely promote the belief in something greater and an afterlife instead of insisting on devoting life to manifesting the greater in personal, societal and country behavior. Rather than lead society towards fairness, big religion serves as a broken moral compass leading folks off a spiritual cliff.

By many accounts, half the people on the planet follow one of two religions. Both of these religions, including a few others, have a lot of explaining to do based on the nations they dominate and the injustice these nations take part in. If there was going to be a glaring light of justice anywhere wouldn't it permeate these places? If these nations are abiding by higher principles, then evidently some people have no Higher Power on their side and those who do, use theirs to beat up the others. This type of behavior disgraces the idea of what Divine is and what Love is. The behavior of the majority of the followers makes these Supreme Beings out to be cosigners to crimes and criminals themselves. This makes success a supreme contest any way you look at it.

It's more than frustrating that we needlessly suffer so many inequities when so many of us believe in the Highest yet continue to retreat to the Lowest uncommon separators such as money, country, skin color, politics, gender, age, religion, denominations, and other affiliations/designations.

Back to the plan that is excellent and simple. Nutrition is salvation.
