Re: Question to religious people [Re: Zahid]

Zahid said:
Any idea of the Divine is limited, other than the Divine itself. Much of the purpose of Christ's life, or Muhammad's mission is to wake people up from material slumber and realize the God-reality. One becomes unlimited when they realize every religious idea is simply a massive effort to bring souls into the light... a global salvation for people who don't have the personal capacity to realize that salvation is personal, subjective.


I might agree with you Zahid. The only problem i see with this global salvation is the geographical aspect about the distribution of God intervention and influence. If the "true" God is so global or universal, why there's no reference to him in other cultures like the mayan, aztec, chinese, african, etc ?
Don't they disserve this "wisdom" ?
If everyone is son of God, why there are people that call themselves "the people of God", don't you think it makes religion look not so global ?

Perhaps the focus is on bringing people "into the light"
and God could be considered an intermediary?

People find their way to God, regardless if there is a presence of religion or not. Most places in the world have some form of spiritual tradition that quenches the spiritual thirst of different cultures and peoples. Even with no tradition, people still have their intentions. At the very start of Prophet Muhammad's mission hundreds were converting to "Islam" upon instantly hearing one or two chapters from Muhammad's recitation which became the Holy Qur'an. At the same time, hundreds more were instantly turning against it. The point is not Islam though, the point is the instant nature of these 'conversions' that reveals the intentions of these people before the rise of Islam in Arabia. One has make an honest, conscious effort to be egocentric and hate the One who offers Eternal Love in order to truly live a barren life. We enter this world, and all we simply need (and we are 'needy' with all our archetypes) to do in the face of something so colossal as Eternal Life and something so ominous as physical death, is nod and continue on with our earthly lives that reflect Divine Love.
