Ten Quotes and Excerpts from  
Religion and Reality

The quotes below will give you 
an excellent overview of this project and explain

Why Your Life and Your Well-being Are on the Line.

.

.

.

1.    Each and every one of us is pushing human kind either closer to oblivion or closer to a successful transformation into an age of self-awareness.   The direction in which you are presently pushing is determined by your beliefs.     

.

.

2.    Human life on Earth, as we presently know it, is simply not sustainable.  The only question is:  Which of the following  three scenarios will occur first?     1)  Will we destroy ourselves in major violent conflicts based on unprovable beliefs about God/ religion/reality?  2)  Will human overpopulation and the arrogant, massive, human-caused  destruction of our natural environment trigger a major catastrophic event that will kill literally billions of people?   3)  Will we wake up in time to consciously and intentionally direct the transformation into an age of self-awareness. 

.

.

3.    Human beliefs are like ropes, cords, and prison walls.   They hold us bound to specific behaviors.   They restrict our activities much more effectively than physical ropes or prisons made of stone and steel.   

.

.

4.    We all have cords of illusion tying us to beliefs programmed into our minds when we were too young to question them  -- tying us to things that simply aren't real  --  tying us to someone else's beliefs about reality.   The trick is to find these cords and cut them off.   That's what this website is all about.

.

.

5.    Because life is not what you've been led to believe it is by those who claim to know,  you, I, and everybody else have  been (and still are) making critical,  irreversible, life-altering  decisions based upon false,  incomplete, and/or intentionally-deceptive information!

Think about the above statement for a moment.   Think about the profound implications of that statement.   How does it make you feel?   

.

.

6.    False beliefs about life, religion, reality, and God are at the core of ALL of our personal and collective problems.   

.

.

7.    We (collectively speaking) are well into a cycle of critically-important  human transformations.   Major,  global-level, environmental, economic, social, political, and religious transformations are already beginning to sweep away life as we have known it.   

.

.

8.    Global climate change is absolutely real and is the greatest threat to human survival in all of recorded history.   

.

.

9.    It's time for open-minded, free-thinking Christians to take back Christianity from the ultra-conservative right-wing extremists.   It's time to pay much more attention to the teachings of Jesus and give less attention  to the ego-centric, politically-motivated, male-dominated, right-wing Christian leadership.

.

.

10.    We have reached a crisis point in human evolution where living as if fiction were fact is no longer an option.

More Quotes and Excerpts

    No matter how strongly we are convinced  that we know the truth, we still could be wrong. 

.

.

     The vast majority of people use the unexamined, personal and religious beliefs they learned as little children to  justify ignoring reality, and/or to  allow, to justify, and in some cases  to participate in the arrogant destruction of our Earthly environment and the killing of other people.  

.

.

    Here's the path, the destination, and the concept of the Religion and Reality Project all in one sentence:   Love God, love your neighbor, and love yourself  with equal intensity because all three are one and the same thing.   If you respond and say, "I already know that.   That statement is the basis of every major religion on the planet,"  we ask,  "Are you living it 24-7?"   

.

.

     Finding God  by Faith and by Reason is NOT an either or choice.  It's a blending of faith with reason.    As an alternative to arguing, fighting, and violating others based on unprovable beliefs about God, suppose we invite religion and reality to be partners.   Suppose we also  invite faith and reason to be partners.   Suppose we  invite faith, reason, religion, and reality to be foursome directed at finding the truth about what humans believe about God.  

.

.

      The Truth is just about everywhere except in the words of those who want you to live under their dominance.   You can find all the basic concepts in every major religion.  You can find the  the concept in the works of hundreds of teachers and guides who teach spirituality instead of religiosity,  and you can find the truth in the Christian Bible.    

.

.

    There are literally dozens of critically-important,  life-altering, and mostly- ignored passages in the Christian Bible that when examined will give you an eye-opening, self-empowering perspective on Christianity that is presently being ignored by the conservative church leaders.   John 14:12,   Luke 17:21, Matthew 6:5-6, and  Ecclesiastes 3:19  are just four examples.   

.

.

     What if we created spiritually oriented communities that honor the mind's role in relating to God -- that bring  reason,  logic,  reality, common sense, and  the physical evidence into one's spiritual life -- that  seek  the truth no matter where that truth leads.  

.

.

    How are you going to be about humanity's present crisis?  Note the distinction between doing and being.   Doing, by itself, accomplishes little or nothing.   It's usually a form of symptom-treating or futile gesturing.   Doing, in  the context of being, produces phenomenal transformations.   Who are you?  What are you?   How do you choose to be in your present Earthly circumstances?   What will that lead you to do?   

.

.

    Join us in an adventure into consciousness:   Walk with us as we examine some of  the more common  stories that people accepted as true when they were a young children --  stories  that millions of adults still  believe with no proof to support their belief.   You no longer believe in Santa Clause, the tooth fairy, or the Easter bunny, but . . .   Is it possible that you could still believe some other stories that no longer serve you?  

.

.

     Eliminate the Middlemen:  We'll also show you how to connect directly to the Infinite Source of Life we call God and find guidance about your own life and your own issues.   This personal connection to God  is not new.    It's in  the Bible itself (Matt 6:5-6), and Martin Luther threw it into the faces of church leaders way back in 1517.   

.

.

     You might also note that studying this technique for finding God by faith and  by reason  is like putting together a huge jigsaw puzzle.   One piece won't tell you much about the total picture, but, as you keep putting the pieces together and adding additional pieces to the puzzle, the overall picture becomes clearer and clearer.   Then at some unexpected point, the "ah ha!" (the realization) strikes, and the whole thing suddenly makes sense.

.

.

    In an insane society a sane person would be considered crazy.   Any judgment of someone else  is simply a matter of perspective.   Because everybody considers their perspective to be normal, it's always the other guy who is deviant and strange.   

.

.

     The bottom line is that nobody is wrong.   Everybody is right, but only partially right.   The missing pieces commonly lead people to draw erroneous conclusions.   The inaccurate conclusion, in turn,  often precipitate some  very dysfunctional behaviors.

.

.

    Our job is to wake people up  --  to kick butt  --  to "shake the tree"  --  to "upset the apple cart" --  to "spill the beans"  --  to demonstrate that  life is not what we've been led to believe it is by those who claim to know!    If we don't push any of your buttons, we haven't done our job.   

.

.

     This pathway to "The Source of Creation," combines:   head and heart -- faith and reason --  emotion and the intellect --  past beliefs and present research data --  the physical and the non-physical worlds -- what's known and what can't be known.   It looks at the basic teachings in all the major religions on the planet including the usually ignored Eastern religions.

The God of Faith & Reason

Finding God   By Faith    And    By Reason

.

What do we mean when we say, "Find God by Faith and Reason?   Faith and reason (religion and reality)  have been considered  to be enemies by conservative religious leaders for centuries.   Religion has denied reality and faith has denied reason because reality shows religion to be fantasy-based and out of touch with reality and because reason shows faith without reason to also be our of touch with reality.   Historically, religions have been strictly faith based.   Reason and reality have both been simply ignored.    The result of religion denying realty and faith fighting reason is that planet Earth is very sick and is about to react in a manner that will significantly reduce the number of parasites (human beings) living on her surface and living  in utter disregard for her well being.   

As an alternative, suppose we invited religion and reality to be partners.   Suppose we also  invited faith and reason to be partners.   Suppose we  invited faith, reason, religion, and reality to be foursome directed at finding the truth about what humans believe about God.   

Finding  God by faith and reason is actually quite simple.   Simply bring religion to reality -- bring reality to religion -- combine  religion with reality -- combine   reality with religion.    Simply bring faith to reason -- bring reason  to faith -- combine  reason with faith -- combine  faith with reason.   

The result will be that faith, reason, religion and reality will each enhance and support the other three.   Faith would support reason, religion, and reality -- reality would support faith, reason, religion --  religion  would support reality faith, and reason --  and  reason  would support religion, reality and faith.  And all this will dramatically transform human behavior and return Earth back into the Garden of Eden.

Finding  God by Faith and Reason  

Where religion meets reality --  Where faith meets reason --  Where mind, heart, the evidence, common sense, and God are equal partners  --  Where  religion, reality, faith, and reason are all on the same team.  

To find The God of Faith and Reason.
