We Are Seekers (Part 3)

[jafar]

All too frequently we see these concepts offered as: Religion versus Spirituality.  Such treatment presupposes a conflict and the need for debate on which is right and which is wrong.  This should never have to be the case.  Either approach can fit nicely within the other. Here is the beauty of it. It is an individual choice (Free Will) and we may change as we do what we do best – seek (Share/Collect, Intellectualize, Internalize, Grow and Live).

“When people see some things as beautiful,
other things become ugly.
When people see some things as good,
other things become bad.”
-- Tao The Ching

I tend to concur that Religion in it's characteristics is in opposing polarity of Spirituality.
As such Not Religion is called Spirituality and Not Spirituality is called Religion.

Dictating "right" and "wrong" however is the key characteristic of religion.
Spirituality, the opposing side of religion, accepted 'both opposing polarity' and acknowledged that "right" and "wrong" are truly depending on perspective and each have free will to choose which and eventually accepting both existence.

Having said that the "opposing polarity" are there for a specific purpose; discernment.
Without darkness, light cannot be recognized, without hate, love cannot be recognized, without anti-matter, matter cannot be recognized.
Yet both are actually in the state of unity, state of one-ness.

Imagine a world where everything is light, how can one discern 'light'?
Since it's opposing concept, darkness, do not exist.
Without 'night' there will not be a 'day'.

"And of every thing We have created in pair: That you may receive learning"
-- Quran 51:49

In an Infinite Creator there is only unity.
In truth there is no right or wrong.
There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time.
You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation.
You are unity.
You are infinity.
You are love/light, light/love.
You are.
This is the Law of One.
-- The Law of One, Book I, Session 1
