You can be taken to
the church but you can't be forced to believe. The messages can
vary and be out of context for this particular time. Druids
didn't get off on stained glass, they were more for the grass and
stones.
Their own time scale
didn't allow for things beyond the elements with spiritual
matters allowing expansion in all directions. This freedom of the
individual in expressing themselves is too uncluttered by today's
standards, and cannot be sanctioned by institutions. In which
case the institutions need to be set aside until they are needed.
The religion that works for you must originate within yourself,
maybe helped along initially by the Big Boys, but finally adopted
by your own soul. The fact that I was born in Great Britain,
(Cornwall), told me that I was Church of England, which was fine
whilst the ignorance of childhood allowed me Tea Treats to Carbis
Bay and the ensuing mayhem. As I've progressed to other states
and other influences, I have moulded my feelings to become more
pertinent. Fine for me, and only me. I would not force my soul
pathway on any others, but would freely discuss my own roots.
The biggest buzz I get from the accepted religious world is all that they have fashioned as images. A very big No, No a while back, but beautiful to behold now. Also a quick toot at weddings and funerals doesn't go amiss.
