Spirituality is Simple (Dedicated to Frida Kahlow) by Devi Nina Bingham

"Being spiritual is an existential reality, not a decision. Spirituality is easy; it was never intended to be so difficult. For the believers, customs and regulations are in place. But in actuality, spirituality is not a choice despite what the term "believer" implies. It isn't picked as you would pick a partner, chosen after serious deliberation. This suggests that there are a plethora of varieties and approaches to faith. But even a youngster can comprehend the system since it is so basic. According to Christ, we shall not see the Kingdom of Heaven unless we approach it as children. What does spiritual simplicity then mean?
Take a look at nature; it holds all the mysteries and secrets. Every particle of life contains geometry. Numbers, particularly geometric forms and patterns are present in all sentient beings, even non-sentient materials. Does it not make perfect sense that life itself should have a spiritual blueprint? And what gives life its sentience? Naturally, DNA, the components that make up life. A sperm and an egg combine to form DNA, a genetic code for growth. Your mother gave you half of your special design, and your father gave you the other half. Then your DNA is passed on to your children. This is life: a system which has functioned perfectly as intended for billions of years.
This is precisely how the human family was constructed: a mother and a father, and we are their children. How much more straightforward could it be? Even if you might not consider yourself a child of God, it is comparable to an adopted kid. It thinks the adoptive parents are biological and is unaware of the truth. But a DNA test would reveal the truth in a flash. Without ever questioning our beginnings, we are born to earthly parents. We think that there is no mother in this creation equation, as religion has taught us. But use rationality and logic, I say. Without the egg, it doesn't work. When we hear this truth, it sounds incorrect because religious patriarchy has conditioned us to deny it.
We are all equal because we are offspring of the Gods, regardless of our gender or nationality. This is pure spirituality without the human trappings. Instead of judging their children as superior or inferior, deserving or unworthy, a wise parent recognizes that they are all a part of me and that they are mine. Likewise, all of us are a part of God's family. The idea that you are better than others is an act of rejection of God's method. Being the largest fruit in the garden, the watermelon should be favored, according to this idea that one should dominate another in God's garden. This kind of thinking lacks depth and is uninformed about diversity. With billions of varieties, we are God's garden. Yet we have been divided into genders, groups, forms, and colors. We all belong to the same group-that of human. All of us were sent to this planet with the intention of honoring our parents by getting along with one another. Spirituality is just that. It is not a form of worship; that is a human invention. It's not even the Ten Commandments. What is divine is not decided by sacred texts, prophets, priests, seers, or monarchy. Your DNA is divine.
You are spiritual. The very cells that make up your body are dynamic and part soul, which is spirit. God's mathematical signature is contained within each atom of your biological makeup. In contrast to Christ's teaching that we should look inside, humanity spends its entire existence gazing up and outward. But the truth is engraved in your DNA. Spirituality is a part of who you are. Spirituality is therefore you. It was never external. Therefore, a shrine is disrespected when we treat one another disrespectfully. The Holy Spirit resides inside us; didn't Christ teach us? Furthermore, what is this spirit if not the soul? We have been brainwashed. We have been indoctrinated, divided into different religious groups. Into this and that nation. Into this and that nationality. Into one culture and another. Into one gender and another. Into one sexual orientation and another. Partition, partition, partition. While we are one people under God. Governments and, before them, churches have sold us a policy of separated humanity!
I want you to consider everyone else to be just like you for just one day, even just one hour. But it is almost impossible to look in a straight and accurate manner since our minds are so deceived by what we perceive. However, it is time for us to examine our own behavior and mindset. Are we practicing the idea that every person is a temple, as taught by Christ? Do we treat everyone with the deference they deserve? Are you honoring the divinely created spiritual system? Are you conscious of your divinity, and your deep connection to all people? You should not be religious since God is not religious. Yes, there is no religious preference or allegiance for God. Avoid making things overly complicated. Now realizing that you are a member of a large spiritual family you never have to experience loneliness again. If you remember this truth, you will be free."
With Love,
Frida
