Man and Religion


Generally, the man use to live in function of a group of needs made by himself, depending of his own appropriate psychological component (or personality) and also being modified by the environment along his growth from his childhood, through his adolescence, being an adult, and reaching his ancianity. This factors are always distincts for all the human beings and is not posible to group them in only one structure, an structures that are made by man, all the structures of thinking of all mankind. This fact is evidenced by the diversity of all the social, economics, cultural, philosophics an religious structures.

The reason of each one of these structures is well defined by their concepts, but the diversity of trends in each one of them, evidence the fact mentioned. In the specific case of the religious structures, the esencial concept is very clear, this word is originated from the latin word religare, that means "be together, unite, join" and refers to "join the man with God".

This revolutionary concept is the center of the controversy of all the religions existent in the world, because all of them have an a distinct idea of the components of this phrase. Analyze it in a secuential way. The word join is just the action, the desired effect but not specify a way to, the mood (this is very interesting, lets to the people the right to choose his own way to be together with God). These freedom to choose the way to be together with God is the polemical center theme that causes the abysmal distance that prevent the mankind be join in this matter.

Usually, the religions defends themselfs to each other saying that the way to be together with God of the others are incorrect, because x, y or z cause. Normally says, x religion says this and that not correspond with this and this thing that we have by a rule and for these reason they are wrong. This kind of controversy are extremelly common and usually cause the distance between the one of each other people, just for trying to fit the own thinking in the others minds.

This is the first mistake in the application of the religion concept, don't fit the own thinking in the others mind, no, is organize our own thinking to the objective that is get closer and join with God by the best way that's adapted to our way to be, think, act and live. Is about respect the right of each one to think by his own way and the right to say their own solutions to the problem (because it is) of get closer and join with God.

Since the most simple creed, sects and religions to the more sophisticated, all, without exception, are exposed in a specific way, but never the organizations that take them by own applies them as is established. An interesting cuestion is Why?, is simple, the multiples forms of religion are explained in function of God manifestation, they aren't not the product of a man says, no, each one who says that God exists, in any religion, understand what I mean: God's tasks are perfects.

The man is preciselly who isn't perfect, who interprets by his own created structures and adjust them to his own convinience and doesn't matter his intention. I want to let the following clear, I don't critic that the people do it, because this is an intrinsec human nature, the people can't stop to do it.

Now, this is the man's case, imagine now the human's institutions, or more, religious institutions. This institutions have being created by man, based on man's experiences in function of their different ways to get closer and join God. This group a precepts and structures defines the way, the manner to join with God.

Once been established that the religious institutions are defined based on the man's experiences to get closer of God and each human being have a different way to be and think to each other and this position change with the time, we can deduce the follow fact : the religion is static while the man is dinamic, and that's the reason of the man pass through the religions and he stay on it just while this structure satisfy his own religious and phylosophic needs, but, when this defined structures doesn't satisfy these needs, doesn't answer the questions and unknowns of the people, that religion isn't achieve they function, and thats the reason of the man's religion search toward better adjusted phylosophic and religious answers.

Is very interesting see the magnitude of this kind of changes of a man's life, because this decision is usually questioned by the community of people that share his old way to think and thats the only reason to accept him in his old religion, and now, this decision implies a great personnel sacrifice, a great courage to be sincere and authentic with himself. The problem is, what religion?, here is when God's help never fail, because anything occurs by trivia, no, there's always a reason to all the things and also, someone who search, find.

Be sure of this, Always are a better way to be closer to God than our actual way, while we are making ourselves more perfect every day on Gods virtues that we accumulate and the new discovered defects, that we have the courage to accept them and then fix them. Also, always the solution is inside ourselves. This is in all the religions, and you know that, I don't say anything new of this.

Lets analyze the next word "man", this a very controversial word, the man. Do you imagine the meaning of the word man if we have to be a man to be with God?, This is something to meditate on it, try to observe ourselves and evaluate our virtues and defects, accepting both of them without distinction, because both perform important functions inside ourselves. The virtues maintain ourselves alive, and with the hope to reach God someday. Our defects are our masters, they teaches us the value of that virtues non achivied, and them give us a reason to fight with ourselves for them.

That's why I beleve we are here, this is the what for of our existence, this is a matter from ourselves with ourselves. In this issue, doesn't matter what the other people did, do or will do. I do expect that every one meditate in this expound with yourselves and put your own start point to sincerelly recognize your virtues and defects, and learn to achieve the objective of this concept, that is our live's concept that is preciselly the last word of our analisys : God..

Is really difficult to explain what is God !, in fact, in this world, we can't define preciselly what is God, but we already know what is the actitude to take to reach Him.

Physically, if all is energy with a differents shapes, the global group of the energies and something more are God. But this is too complex to the human thinking. Observe this phrase : human thinking, this characteristic is distinguished of the other kind of thinking because implies the capacity to be concience, the process to make inside of the reality. Of course, this reality depends of the individuals characteristics, the people's adquired and intrinsec needs..

If consider the man a compound of energy that interacts with themselves with a common purpose that is the existence and have an a primary propiety that is be concience, Why God, that is the Total Energy, that is more than a compound, do not have to be concient ( or better known as omniscience)? , or any compound of energy or any energy in any manifestation have their own concience level?, this expounds take ourselves to a conclusion : when we increase the range of our concience of the facts that occurs inside and outside ourselves, we are being closer to God. This capacity to be more concient is the difference between the man and the other creations, and this capacity allows the man to ascend and get closer to God.
