Spirituality and Religion - The Difference.

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"
