Ama's essential guide to enlightenment

Feb. 18, 2006 - God and religion

Experience and spiritual work thought me that religions often became a Devil’s tool, and a courtyard for practicing intolerance. News about wars amongst Muslims, Christians, Jews, Lutherans, and amongst many other sects and religions, brought shivers of pain into my heart, and all through my life, I kept hearing about slaughters that are unimaginable to the ones that truly believe in God.

I travelled through countries and saw hatred within the men that carried shields of their own religions and this experience opened my eyes to the truth: that to reach God we have to burn the masks of different Gods, stop giving Him a name, and exclusivity. Or if we are not capable of doing that, we should at least stop accusing and hating all the ones that do not see Him as we do.

About Me

This is a story of Ama. A story that starts 5 centuries ago but continues today, a story of shift of ages, of spiritual development, of internal alchemy. Its main message could be put within this quote: 'However much we have drifted on the ocean of suffering, today we see clearly that there is a beautiful path. We turn toward the light of loving kindness to direct us.'

'A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.' Albert Einstein
