The light of God is overwhelming, it is total Unity, total Peace, total Love, total Bliss and being blessed with having that knowledge I do not fear physical death in this world. In fact, knowing this, I fear nothing. Problems are simply challenges to be overcome. Life here is good, Life there is everything.
Yes, it is better to lead and motivate by love of truth and compassion for others, not fear or negative reactions against other people.
When you raised concern about "other people clinging to their own perceptions of God" as the ultimate sin, this seemed reactionary and biased.
The people I know most mature, enlightened and proactive in their spiritual growth understanding and relations seem "least concerned" about other denominations and more concerned about constructive effective ways to communicate and work together, regardless of beliefs and differences.
Stann if you have this type of universal inclusive outreach and approach, I applaud encourage and support you.
The difference in my perspective, in my experience I have found each person has some connection with this same universal angle or drive, regardless of their affilation or identity, and some bias or flaws keeping them from connecting more fully with others. We all become closer to universal truth by overcoming w where we run into biases or walls, and seek instead to capitalize on our common strengths and vision while correcting any problems or conflicts.
Again I support you in taking and fulfilling this path of universal inclusion.
I find it curious you take such exception to Christian teachings or followers.
I find Christian believers go through the same process as everyone else in establishing agreement on universal truth justice and peace, but have advantages when it comes to receiving rebukes and corrections between followers commiting to embody and enforce the same principles.
I find it most effective to address fellow Christians by citing common principles in the spirit of Christ, as when addressing fellow Constitutionalists citing those principles we commit to in common.
So this is the main reason I was curious that you took exception to Christian faith or followers and teachings, when in my experiences I have found this system to be advantageous in sharing mutual corrections to establish common truth by agreement.
I find it depends on each person's system what works most effectively to communicate universal truths and what doesn't work.
Regardless what system we use to communicate equally, I find we all benefit and grow in understanding by addressing both the beliefs we share in common as well as resolving differences in beliefs or biases.
If you have a bias against Christianity, I would like to explore that with you to find how to correct these problems and abuses you see with it.
I have a positive bias toward using the best of each system, including Christian, Constitutional and Buddhist principles I find to be universal.
I tend to use principles or process as taught in one of these three systems when relating to people regardless of their beliefs.
I am curious what system you use, and trust that we will align since we both take universal inclusive approaches.
Do you like the Bahai or the Unitarian Universalist approach?
Thank you and again I fully support encourage and join you in your spiritual outreach and quest to live by universal love and truth, and inspire others to do the same.
I believe Christianity is a powerful tool to help more people connect on this same goal and is not meant to be a stumbling block or barrier, but a means of building bridges to the Kingdom of Heaven.
