The seventh chapter, takes you on a journey to the Temple of Your Innermost Heart, and helps you to let your heart put on its wings and soar…
It gives you a sense of what "Divine-Sacred Love" could be in your heart...
It leaves you resting in peaceful One Love and Joy… where you can feel one with the "Source" of all creation, One with what we can call Universal Source and Love Energy…
There, without the aid of alcohol or drugs, you can learn to transcend the everyday, and imagine a wonderful world of Universal Love…
About six months ago, through communicating about doing workshops in the Mideast, my friend in Lebanon, Tatiana Kesrouani, asked about my religion ... I then wrote in an article ...“My religion/spiritual path is universal peace and love. I have a very big family: Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jews, Indigenous peoples and all religions are my brothers and sisters, if they want to be.”

Today, I began posting further thoughts on religion on my Facebook page ...
"THE BIG QUESTION: Can humans evolve past religious stories and rituals that keep them indoctrinated and brainwashed in new and old religions, competing with, and harming each other, or can we become a wise, loving, collaborative, co-creative civilization, that can sustain 10 billion people in 2050, while caring for the Earth, our collective home?"
I went on to write, "All religions use magical stories to indoctrinate ... what we need is wisdom, love and creativity to co-empower, collaborate and co-create a sustainable world...."
I continued, "In my opinion... I think religions may have caused more harm than good on this planet... turning many into sheep, many into robotic fundraisers, and others into holy soldiers -- killers... "
Then, "How many people on this planet are wise, loving and creative, working to create a sustainable planet for all and for nature?"
A religious friend then sent me an email disagreeing with my
assessment of religions... "ALL religions use magical stories to teach and to provoke thought, SOME use magical stories to indoctrinate."
I responded, "My point is, why do we need fake, magical stories at all? ... Are humans so childish they need hocus pocus to capture their attention? Why can't we have authentic, wise, loving, creative teachings, that teach ONENESS and UNITY? Unfortunately many religious people actually believe their magical stories are real... and they profess to be THE RIGHT, BEST, CORRECT religion ... making all the others WRONG... Then they foster armies of fundraisers and soldiers to PROTECT AND SERVE THE FAITHFUL FLOCK (and pay the leadership well) ... and the flock of sheep are led by the shepherds... into unsustainability on planet Earth...
Thus, I realized that at this point in the evolution of humanity, religions need to be evaluated.
But who can evaluate religions?
Why do we really need religion?
Can we do away with religions, and help people to become wise, loving and creative?
