A wise soul will leave organized religions because he realizes that they don't make good sense. For example: the God of Love requiring the blood sacrifice of His perfect Son as a vicarious punishment for our having managed to violate the will of the all-powerful Creator? Come on, now! I've learned that Yeshua brought the true message, but it has been completely corrupted and turned 180 degrees on its head!.TRUTH ALWAYS MAKES GOOD SENSE. And if you DESIRE Truth you will find it, as my landmark 2013 book makes quite clear. But few people desire Truth. And THAT LACK OF DESIRE is the reason for all of the pain and predicaments of the human experience. So, in short - no one has anyone to blame but their OWN lack of desire for Truth. DESIRE TRUTH AND IT WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU. AMEN.

When your body dies you will discover that "life" in this world of limitation IS death, and you will discover what Life truly is, I guarantee. There's no man in the clouds, of course. That's a clown pretending to be something he's not. Read my posts elsewhere on this video if you want to know more.

Smarter people = people who know that they DO NOT know. Mark Twain said: "It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble; it's what you know for sure that just ain't so." Group-consensus religion is a contraction in terms as one must find Truth for oneself....which is why the fall of organized religion in the United States WOULD BE a good thing, except that it is being replaced by FALSE CONFIDENCE and THE CULT OF PERSONALITY. The United States has collectively become a cult that places personality and false appearances above Truth. You can call it "paganism" if you want, but that gives pagans a bad name. As I illustrate in my landmark 2013 book, the ancient religions that we now call "pagan" actually held many of the same deep truths that float amongst the half-truths of modern-day organized religions. But people tend to want to think they know things that they DON'T know, and place everything into neat little ignorant categories. DESIRE FOR TRUTH. That is the only key that will free you from this prison of limitation; be it in this lifetime or one of the many other lifetimes that you will experience in this world of limitation! Because, THAT is the ONLY REASON FOR this experience, as my book reveals quite plainly. AMEN.

As the original Gnostics knew, personal experience is the only effective teacher. A Course in Miracles states: "A universal theology is impossible (because everyone believes what they want to believe). But a universal experience is not only possible, it is necessary." My book "The Holy Grail is Found" is a revelation steeped in gnosis for those who are ready for it.

The main reason organized Christianity squashed paganism and other religions is because one who studies these religions will find that many Christian beliefs were preceded by those religions. But it's not that Christianity stole those doctrines; it's because that which we call "God" is ONE, and is the ONLY one, having revealed Itself to all men throughout the ages! (In my book I explain how all polytheistic religions began as monotheistic, but were corrupted over time - including all so-called "pagan" religions.) This makes perfect sense once one understands WHAT God is. And this fact - what God actually is - IS the legendary "Philosopher's Stone," the foundation of ALL Truth and understanding, as I explain in my landmark 2013 book "THE HOLY GRAIL IS FOUND." Amen.

Correct. That is the least quoted biblical saying, though it should be the most quoted! Jesus said, "Have I not said, 'ye all are gods,'" quoting a Psalm of Asaph that says: "I have said ye are all gods and children of the Most High." In other words, we have been told again, and again, and again throughout the ages from the beginning of time. But men twist the message. Jesus said that His "good news" (gospel) message is that "the Kingdom of God is within you." But men twisted it into a false "sacrifice for sin" doctrine. Yes, we are all gods. Because, when one discovers exactly what "God" is, one will understand that there simply IS NOTHING ELSE! Although we appear to be "goobers," we are limitless beings....who currently find themselves experiencing limitation (goober-hood). And if you want to know WHY, read my landmark 2013 book "The Holy Grail is Found" and decide for yourself whether or not it makes absolutely perfect sense. Truth always does! How could It not? And this is why false-doctrine organized religions must fall by the wayside. AMEN.

The only meaningful difference between absolutely all men (and women) everywhere is this: 1) Those who desire Truth (without prejudice) and 2) those who do NOT desire Truth (because they instead, out of FEAR, desire Truth to be what-they-desire-Truth-to-be). I authored a book on the subject, and anyone who desires Truth will find it extremely enlightening, I guarantee.

Me too. I only sin every OTHER week! Kidding, of course. If sin was true that would mean it is possible to violate the will of an all-powerful God, which makes absolutely no sense. And it also makes no sense that the God who "is love" would punish us for our errors. Want to know the Truth? Read my landmark 2013 book "The Holy Grail is Found" and decide for yourself.

The law of conservation of energy tells you that death is an illusion, if you listen to it.

You are correct. All group-consensus belief systems are traps that keep people from the Truth. A Course in Miracles indicates that "formal religion" is a contradiction in terms. Each of us must find Truth for ourselves. And I have personally discovered that if you DESIRE Truth It is given to you. For I have been given the deepest of truths, including the full Meaning of Life, which I reveal in my landmark 2013 book "The Holy Grail is Found." He who desires Truth will read it and decide for himself. AMEN.
