The Paradox of Faith: Unwrapping the Complexities of Organized Religion

Organized religion has been a cornerstone of human society for centuries, providing a sense of community, moral guidance, and spiritual connection for millions of people around the world. However, it has also been a source of conflict, oppression, and division.

The Shadow of Separation

One of the most damaging aspects of organized religion is the idea that humans are separate from the divine or a higher power. This notion creates a sense of disconnection, fostering dependence on external authorities and limiting human potential. By perpetuating this separation, individuals are discouraged from trusting their own inner guidance and instead rely on intermediaries to interpret their connection to the divine.

Disconnection from the Human Organism

Furthermore, this separation extends beyond the spiritual realm, influencing our understanding of human biology and our relationship with our own bodies. When we view ourselves as separate from our cells, our source, and our own creation, we create a need for external sources to feed, heal, and charge us. This severe separation from our own cells and human organism undermines our innate ability to self-heal and self-charge, leading to a reliance on external authorities, institutions, and systems. By recognizing and reclaiming our inherent connection to our own bodies and the natural world, we can begin to heal this separation and tap into our full human potential.

Unpacking the Historical Context

To understand the complexities of organized religion, it's essential to examine its historical context. From the Crusades to colonialism, organized religion has been used as a tool of control, manipulation, and oppression. The narrative surrounding organized religion is far from simplistic, and its impact on human history has been profound.

The Importance of Empowerment

So, what can we learn from this complex and often paradoxical institution? Perhaps the most important takeaway is the need for empowerment. By recognizing our inherent connection to the divine and promoting ideologies that foster self-awareness and personal growth, we can unlock our full potential and live more authentic, compassionate lives.

Beyond Dogma: Embracing a More Inclusive Spirituality

As we move forward, it's essential to recognize that spirituality and faith can exist beyond the confines of organized religion. By embracing a more inclusive and personal approach to spirituality, we can create a more just, compassionate, and equitable world.

The Erasure of History and Cultural Appropriation

It's also important to acknowledge the ways in which organized religion has erased and appropriated cultural traditions and histories. For example, the early Christian church co-opted many of the existing pagan rituals and traditions, such as the winter solstice celebration, and rebranded them as Christian holidays. The Pope even decided that Jesus' birthday would be on December 25, coinciding with the existing Roman festival of Saturnalia. This cultural appropriation and erasure of history are part of a larger theme in our society, where the dominant culture takes and adapts elements from marginalized cultures without giving credit or compensation.

Conclusion

As we continue to navigate the intricacies of faith and spirituality, it's essential to approach these topics with nuance and an open mind. By acknowledging the complexities of organized religion and promoting empowerment, self-awareness, and personal growth, we can work towards creating a brighter, more loving future for all.

Today, we enter the Winter Solstice and Capricorn season, wrapping up the year-end like some of us are wrapping up gifts and houses in beautiful adornments to create the holiday atmosphere. We've had our last week of extracurricular classes for the kiddies, and as I sit here, reflecting on this time last year, I'm reminded of the journey. We started bridging the gap, acknowledging the holes left behind from the year, leaving parts of us behind – tasks, ideas, healings.

It's easy to get wrapped up in our surroundings and day-to-day routines. That's why it's crucial to keep your mind over your matter, addressing moment-to-moment the broader picture themes you're working through. Stay mindful, maintain your interactions, slow down, and don't let yourself get pulled away from your morals, your rate of flowing, your core values. Don't miss any opportunities you're creating; break free from unhealthy loops, cycles, and patterns.

It's time to forge new habits, like an onion shedding layers that no longer serve. Let's build the layers we should have developed throughout our childhood, teens, and early adulthood. When we lack a sturdy, healthy foundation with meaningful relationships and a supportive environment, we struggle to thrive.

I'm guided to share again how much our generation needs to break free from the mindset of our parents and elders, who carried the weight of overworked systems, harsh conditions, and oppression. We must promote balance to that collective – as the younger generations, we're here to heighten the collective sensitivity. 1 + 1 = 2. Imagine the extreme sensitives of our time speaking truths, oneness, revolution, and leading the pack in dense times.

We're here to be ourselves, embody the wholesome cell, uncap its potential, and play with it. Regulate your nervous system, nurture your family back into health from decades of unhealthy lifestyles and false information. We're here to uncap the crusty helmet that blocks the self from generating its own energy, repeating unhealthy norms.

Imagine a rose pushing through cement or walking around in a world with a 2-foot sky – you'd have a kink in your neck! Many of us suffer from headaches, insomnia, neck pain, spine problems, back pain, ear issues, eye problems, and eyesight issues as a result. We must open up our crowns, visually imagine it happening, and reconnect to the atmosphere, the Milky Way, the geomagnetic field. Draw energy into your central nervous system from nature, homemade meals, fluoride-free water, exercise, creativity, rest, and facets of expression.

The Capricorn wants us to realize how much the human has genetically modified its cells, distorting the human body and experience. We've become unnatural, rejecting natural energies and choosing the fake. The real, true, authentic, pure has become too much, too intense, too sensitive. It's wild how much the human will reject its own purity and truest self, limiting, settling, pretending, blaming…

Nobody has time for their own time; ideas, thoughts, feelings, and actions. #healingtheratracementality

With this Capricorn season closing out 2024, take time to get vulnerable with your cells and call out your behaviour. Don't let any less than versions you've created sneak into 2025 for another loop. Be hyper-vigilant, question their and your own behavior, traits, and ideas.

When that version of you shifts in, put your thumb down and ask: "Why are you here, what triggered you?" I'm working to let my highest, most intelligent self drive, and you're messing things up. Why? What belief systems and memories are you holding? Work through the answers; compassion is key. Show up to yourself differently than before or than others have. This can also appear in the form of old relationships, past habits trying to pull ya’ll back in for another round and/or into your own fear or facades.

Uncap your greatest healer and best friend, who's inside you. It's time to take care of them. Cosy up to your healer this season, and work through your through and out of your comfort zones. I'm excited and exhausted, ready for cuddles with the crew and/or solo time for self! And maybe you can relate! Wherever you're at on your adventures, we wish you a wonder-filled end of 2024.
