Right you are. I feel religion places a "boundary" on someones spiritual growth. I feel spiritual growth is about reaching higher states and evolving physically/mentally/emotionally. Its truth u see it all day every day people striving to push themselves further in their careers, people forming relationships(no matter what type). Then again theres the people who struggle which is what i am atm.
Christianity i was forced into catholic schools my whole life, i was born with lil interest for religion. I attended church on sundays, hated it. Boring old bald guy rambling on... i went for the kids care afterwards while the parents met. As soon as going to church became only an 'option' and not a 'necessity' i chose NOT to attend at all. But still i was trapped in religion at school. masses every friday to celebrate some dude who once had a spiritual life but took it to far and let others know he was connected with out source. As i know he got nailed to a cross for this exact reason.theres been multipal reports in history of members of different religions being connected to god(or as i call it the source) i dont feel religion is necessary to reach hightened awareness. Hightened awareness can be reached by anyone. it just takes the knowledge.
