Spirituality and Religion - The Difference.
Posted by From Mariah channelled to Brian.
The difference between spirituality and religion is getting hotter each week, and that is because many people don't know there is a difference and seem to think that they are one and the same! THEY ARE NOT!
There are certain subtle differences that you should know about in order to make your own mind up as to which way you want to go. Firstly Religion over the years has become a habit. When Sunday comes along, it's just a matter of climbing into your "Sunday best" clothes and trotting off to church at the regular time and greeting others whom you have come to know over the years, sitting down and listening to a verse or two from the bible - and depending on just how articulate your minister/priest is, taking some wisdom away with you at the end of the session - perhaps a hymn or two to cheer you up helps too! This has been probably going on since childhood for you and now that you are an adult, there is no reason why you should change your habit - after all you don't have to put much thinking into what happened at church and maybe there was the odd chat with fellow parishioners to make your day! But that is as far as it goes. Whereas Spirituality is not the same as Religion although both have their origins in the Heavens. You may have the same belief in Spirit with both arguments, but in reality the difference is to do with your belief more in yourself through your very own Spirit first, and the Heavens secondly. Religions TELLS you things rather then your Spirit coming through your thoughts and suggesting things you may want to look at to improve your life... and this is done on a more personal level and no one else needs to know about this unless you tell them.
Spirituality doesn't care what your beliefs are - or in fact if you consider yourself an atheist! The important thing is the faith in yourself and your ability to channel your own Spirit within.
There are many combinations that make it compatible to be who you wish to be - either Religious, Spiritual, or Atheist. To me in the Heavens, it doesn't matter just so long as you have sufficient faith in yourself to hold onto just what you do believe in for the right purposes... We'll talk more on this subject again at a later date, but for now please consider what I have written here and form your own conclusions as to what is best for you... love "Mariah"
