The state of the worldI've noted that most outspoken religious believers are really atheists, they don't really believe in the omnipotent god or that god can talk to them. Just try telling any priest or pastor that you can talk to god. They basically purport that god can't even hear your prayers, that's why they are so busy reciting the Rosary or praying all the time! At the same time these "normal" people, the praying theists, subscribe to the idea that people who can talk to god or hear voices as schizophrenic unless of course they are of the same faith then they are called saints! Mainstream religion is pure madness.
Institutionalized religions have de-personalized god for the specific purpose to empower themselves. They mostly teach that god is to important to hear your prayers. Maybe if you pray or chant a trillion times then god will hear you and grant an audience! Obviously they don't get it, the verbal chanting and rational thoughts are secondary. What they have done is created an earth hell realm, hell is the state of not knowing how to connect, hell is the state of world created by institutionalized power structures who specifically disempowered man for their own gain. The Catholic Church and other Christian brands are just the same as the Judeo memeplex from whence they sprung - the angry hellion desert tribe. God is not what they say because god is not found in the Bible or any other perverted text. God is not in a book or a stone wall or a church, god is nowhere in this realm, yet everywhere, because your perception is of x-y-z only. God is within you, but not in you, god is on another dimensional level so traveling somewhere to find god is ridiculous.
God hears you the first time when you feel within your being your truest wishes and intentions, that feeling is your soul pulling on the Universe. Think of your soul as a neuron in a brain, you are hard wired into the matrix. So to attract pull the rope that connects you to the whole, ring the bell for service, sing to the Universe for your wishes, rub the lamp and get the genie to act on one's behalf. Just as a cell in your body is given everything it needs, so are you.
God is talking to you all of the time, the problem is you can't hear because you've been rendered deaf by our culture. Once again early indoctrination into our culture's belief in materialism is the cause of the blindness. And most religions, especially any mainstream Judeo version like Catholicism are very atheistic because there is a total disconnect to god. God is an abstract idea in an old book. God is somewhere else and only talked to a few way back in the Old Testament. God is somewhere else and only the Pope can get audience. Get it? Official church doctrine is that only the Pope can hear god and very clearly you can't so don't even try! The religious power structure knows that to maintain it's power it must separate you from yours. Church disempowers the individual for the institution, but going to church is voluntary; so take your power back from the evil ones by not going to church or giving them your money or energy and especially quit giving them your attention. Quit church-synagogue-temple and become that which you already are, a divine being in human form.
Since manifestation is from our emotions, that is our soul's energy emotes a field that attracts, that would mean that any emotion positive or negative attracts. So if you happen to be placed in a negative situation, be aware that the negativity being projected from others could be part of your own flow. When you detect that something is not right, and wish to steer clear of a negative flow simply do not participate especially at an emotional level. Make a clear choice not to participate, that stops the flow. As a shaman I see these flows organize and manifest and many times the energy baits the unsuspecting into some emotional drama and negative event. Why participate if it does not serve you? Many do because drama is a way to heal dysfunctional thoughtforms. Much of the warfare on planet earth is being caused by religious indoctrination. How unfunny it is to hear Jewish propaganda outlets (like the ADL) accuse Muslims of terrorism when in fact that the Muslim religion was born out of Judaism, Muslims are practicing Judeo memes. So if you actually want terrorism to end then quit practicing Judaism!
More than any other group, the Jews try to keep everyone pinned down in the materialistic realm because if people are distracted by superficial materialistic concerns then they can be easily exploited. So as a shaman it is my duty to inform you that if you want to gain spiritual knowledge then steer clear of those people and what they promote.
We have the perfect ability to blow ourselves to kingdom come. When are we going to learn that we are doing it not some external god? Remember, the universe doesn't care if it's good or bad, it's just energy. Also, remember that in a will less state other's can manifest you as a way to heal.
