There are awful things that can happen to good human beings. A belief system 'practice' can HELP during those times. And IF it involves a Community, then the people who are a part of that Community can help support you through tough times-- with 'you' supporting others also.

Takes a Village
In Life, we need each other to survive.

So

Actually, from experience from time I was a child, the belief system Served them. It was a 'fit' for their nature. It 'worked' for them, as an individual in particular. It had the effect that it was Designed to Do, in terms of facilitating a Connection with the Divine. To OPEN you up to a 'whole' different experience of living.

Until the belief system reaches the point of Understanding what it is About, then people {who desire to Know} will keep looking, keep Searching.

Some folks are Born for that.
Born with an instinct to Search for Something Bigger, and Greater than they are. They have curiosity after realizing that there 'has to be More'.

Some people need a break from searches for a while, then, with a new perspective, they can return to it, and their system may work and actually give them the Breakthrough they sought.

It's The Spirit that Calls to go DEEPER into it.
No matter which "it" is chosen.

AS the Spirit Wills, there can be a moment of 'realization'.

The Soul realizes there's a WHOLE OTHER world than just the everyday mundane. It's a Bright and Awakening Moment.

Belief system teachings, are words.
The words have a Meaning beyond the shallow and 'outside' understanding.

There's an ignition that happens on the INSIDE, where the things learned on the outside, the rituals performed drily, takes on a Symbolism that is DEEPLY within, as well as being acted or said on the outside.

There comes an Understanding on a whole new level of Relationship. A Bridge happens.

You have to WANT the Higher Understanding,
and inwardly ask for it to come.

You have to persist in whatever the practice is;
be faithful to it, then the Dawning can happen.

Something 'unlocks' ..

Like studying Astrology...
Doesn't come easy...
You have to persist,
you have to practice,
it becomes 'your life' where you can't help 'thinking' in it's Language.
You see it everywhere--
consumes your everyday life.

Some people come to 'understand' their Relationship to The Divine, when foundations of their former belief-systems get Illuminated and an ability to Appreciate happens-- inside and out.

The planets, the stars, the Universe are a CREATED thing.
Seek the Creat'or, not so much the Created.
It will blow you away!
How Special you are...
How remarkably a Miracle had occurred, that the mundane conscious, can be Understood "Consciously" !!

If you hold an orange in your hand,
do more than smell the wonderful fragrance.
Hold it, touch it, OPEN it.
Taste and See.
There's Nutrition.
It goes "HD" !! *grin*

ANY 'System' requires that you 'work' it--
and with 'time' you can discover what its purpose is.

Keep Looking
Keep Searching
