Belief Systems

Contrary to popular belief,
knowing the Creator
is not an intellectual,
doctrinal,
belief system.
We each have direct access 
to the Creator,
to the kingdom of the Creator,
which is,
simple reality,
more easily than we have access
to our earthly
father, mother, brother, sister,
or friend.

There is nowhere anyone can go,
to be outside of the
Spirit who is the Creator,
as that Spirit
permeates
everything that is.

Notwithstanding this simple knowledge
this easy access,
religions of the world
inhibit this access;
work to limit this knowing,
even against this knowledge,
by requiring instead
specific beliefs,
and belief systems,
institutional beliefs
and control systems
about what is,
about the Creator,
about reality,
to be held as true;
while requiring other beliefs
to be rejected--
and by this means
a person is
validated,
even considered acceptable,
or worthy
to gain access into
eternity,
the kingdom of Heaven;
the reality 
that always is
merely the acceptance thereof away.

Among these beliefs are
that I must:
accept Jesus
into my heart
as personal savior;
His mother Mary as a virgin;
the Bible as the Word,
inerrant and infallible;
the Creator as a trinity;
Submission to Christian clergy
as God’s appointed ministers,
submission to the government
as God's authority on Earth;
and the choice of
a linear eternity
in Heaven or Hell
after death.

The kingdom of Heaven
is not a religious,
mythological,
belief system;
nor is it accessible
after death.

The kingdom of Heaven
is life . . .
and merely is.

 "For he is not a God 
of the dead,
but of the living:
 for all live unto him."
Luke 20:38
