What we believe in is about the Experience

This Age you will all serve is an Age of Awareness, an Age of Experience. This transition to that Age began in the Piscean Age. The Piscean motto was: "I want to know. I need to learn." The Aquarian motto is: "I know. I want to experience." You will have to deliver experience to everyone. And you must deliver the experience to your self each day. That is Sadhana, and for that we have a technique.

​I typically enjoy engaging in deep discussions about religion-- often with like-minded friends but sometimes not.  I see the hypocrisy within so much of organized religion, particularly as people are trying to espouse the reasons why their religion is right and others are wrong. Why is it so hard to accept that there is one God to whom we all connect in our own ways?  

Honestly, I do have more extensive beliefs on the matter but, generally speaking, if you find the connection and it serves your higher Self, bless you and may Peace and Abundance fill you and the world around you! 

The crux of the matter is not about who's right or wrong or how you grew up or what your parents or other external influences want you to believe or even how it has shaped your life thus far. It is about "the experience".  

I meditate and do my kundalini yoga to prepare for deeper meditations in order to be more connected with the Universe and feel stronger, aligned, inspired and more clear.  I know it works because I experience the transformative effects on my body, heart and mind--and the feeling of pure bliss.  I experience the changes in my ability to hold equanimity throughout my days and the sensation of "not reacting" (detachment) and compassion.

Does your spiritual belief give you the experience of peace, joy and bliss? Of abundance? Of Oneness with others, with our Universe?  If you're not sure what  "experience" I am speaking of, you may need to shift your focus and delve deeper. Once you've experienced "the experience", the spiritual high and the gratitude is present without question. You know it. That's when your belief matches your experience-- and you've found the Truth.
