Religion
Religion is sacred, yet it can be a source of controversy for those who react strongly to it. Sacred is religion, which is offensive to those who are unaware of its true meaning. Let every man have his faith. When I speak of man, I also include woman.
“Unto you, your religion; unto me, my religion” – Quran, Surah 109:1-6
It is essential to respect your neighbor's religious duties. He who shows no respect for his neighbor's religion is a sorcerer. It is unlawful to enforce your religion upon others. Woe unto the man who forces his religion on others, for it causes more harm than goodness.
All religions have their ancestry in Gnosis. As Samael Aun Weor stated, “All religions are precious pearls set in the golden thread of Divinity.” All religions conserve eternal values; there are no false ones. All Religions are necessary and fulfill a mission in life. Gnosis is catholic, which bears no association with the Roman Catholic Church; catholic is another word for universal.
“Do not be equally yoked with the nonreligious. What do goodness and impurity have in common? What fellowship has light with darkness? What fellowship has Christ with Yahweh? What concord do religious and nonreligious people have in common? What agreement is there with the temple of the Elohim and Demons?” – 2 Corinthians 6:14.
Christ and Yahweh never mix. Religion and nonreligion do not mix. Goodness and impurity do not mix. It is akin to mixing oil and water, which never mix.
Religion is revolutionary. Religion derives from the etymology of Religare, which in Latin means “to bind together” or “to unite.” Its counterpart word, Yoga, derives from the Sanskrit term Yug (pronounced Y-OO-G), which also means union. Please do not confuse Yoga with a series of stretches or physical meditations; rather, Yoga is a spiritual practice that leads to union with Divinity, often referred to by different names.
The opposite of religion is Ra-legion or Ralegion. Ralegion is the legion of impurity; Ralegion itself is nonreligious.
Therefore, the purpose of religion is to assist humanity and serve it. Divinity makes religion for man, never man for religion. The Elohim never made man to serve religion. Religion is for man to achieve salvation. Religion has nothing to do with subservience, control, and conformity. It also has nothing to do with modern religious organizations.
The tyrannical purpose of Ralegion is short: to enslave man into serving Ralegion. It holds no value or purpose in life. Ralegion never assists nor serves humanity. It demands submission. It is Ralegion that associates with subservience, control, and conformity. It is ralegious or nonreligious organizations that fail to help others to achieve final liberation.
Beware of pastors (or shepherds) of modern churches: any church, school, or organization that does not teach others final liberation or the golden, sexual alchemy is nonreligious. Anyone morally opposing the Perfect Matrimony is a nonreligious person. Woe unto modern churches. They theoretically teach you the scriptures, yet none of them are practical ones or Gnostic initiates. Nonreligious people in league with the Synagogue of Satan; they are followers of Yahweh.
Even within ourselves, we carry a stumbling block to our final liberation, which is the ego. We never follow anyone, nor do we have followers. It is already too dangerous to follow anyone imperfect. We follow our Innermost. It is the king of kings, the Christ, that we, as sheep of Christ, must follow.
We are not, however, against religion. It is the Antichrist who says that religion is about subservience, control, and conformity to deceive you. It is false. It is idolatry in the form of Ralegion that equals subservience, control, and conformity.
The leader of the Antichrist is Yahweh, whom Samael imprisoned in the bottomless pit, crucified upside-down. Lo and behold: the Antichrist is the antithesis of Jesus Christ.
Religion has nothing to do with subservience, control, and conformity. Religion has to do with freedom, order, and free will under the obedience of our Innermost. The golden alchemy is the coitus reservatus that we perform daily with our respective spouses. In the name of truth, it is the proper use of sexuality that is never contrary to religion. That is all.
