WHAT ARE THE TRUE REASONS FOR EXISTENCE
OF SO MANY DIFFERENT AND OFTEN
CONTRADICTORY RELIGIONS AND THEIR
NUMEROUS SECTS
ON PLANET EARTH?
As everyone knows, there are several major religious systems on this
pseudo-planet and their respective numerous sects. Most of them have a
tendency to claim that they possess the most advanced, correct and right
knowledge of God and the way of practicing the life that leads one to
salvation from evil and negative forces and from an adverse life full of
misery and suffering. All of these religions and their respective sects
adopted a set of established rules, prescriptions, rituals, ceremonies and
principles for keeping and practicing for which their followers are
promised an eternal life of happiness and bliss. All of them refer to and
derive from certain scriptures that are, by and large, considered to be
Holy and the true Word of God having the final word of absolute
authority and containing, supposedly, the absolute truth. All of them
developed their respective doctrines for the purpose of proper
interpretation, understanding and application of the revelation
contained in those Holy Scriptures.
But, because people, in their limited and relative state and condition,
have a tendency to interpret various statements differently in those Holy
Scriptures, they come up with different doctrines and sets of rules that
become a base on which different and, very often, contradictory sects
build and thrive even within the same religious system.
Since the various interpreters of these Holy Scriptures fall into an
illusion that their interpretation is the only one that merits proper
understanding and practice of truth, they become intolerant and often
hateful of any other religions and their respective sects even within their
own religious system.
The only common denominator that all these religious systems and
their respective sects have is that they all teach about God, about
spiritual life and about means of worship, communication with and
relationship to God. The perception, understanding, acknowledgement,
worship of and relatedness to that God, as well as a necessary style of
life relevant to the requirements of religious systems and their respective
sects, is defined in different terms and with different emphasis on what
is and what is not important from one religion to another and from one
sect to another.
Another common denominator of most of these religions and their
respective sects is that people are taught by them from the externals.
This means, that, in most instances, people are forced to believe blindly
in what their ministers, their spiritual teachers or leaders tell them to
believe even if it defies the logic of common sense. The followers are not
allowed to dispute the doctrine or reason about it but simply accept it at
face value. The only reasoning and rationalizing which is permitted is for
the sole confirmation of the dogmas and doctrines of one‟s belief system.
Although some Eastern religions emphasize the necessity of going
inward for finding out the real truth which is within, their
understanding and definition of how to accomplish proper enlightenment
about and knowledge of the spiritual path is strictly defined by the rules
handed down by someone who is considered to be enlightened. Thus, one
is forced to believe that whatever the enlightened one says and tells one
to do from his/her external position is wholly applicable for everyone
without any questioning or doubts.
If the purpose of any religion and its respective sects is to teach
people about God, spiritual life and all related matters then why is it
that there are so many different and very often irreconcilable doctrines
and teachings regarding these important matters? Why is this permitted
and tolerated by the Most High?
There are several reasons for this situation:
1. The true Nature of the Most High is Absolute. Therefore, to know
God in an absolute sense requires one to be absolute. But no one is
absolute but the Most High. Therefore, no one can know the Most High
in an absolute sense. Now people are relative to the Absolute State of the
Most High. For that reason, they can perceive, know, understand and
accept God only from their relative position. Each relative position to the
Absolute State occupies a different angle. No two persons can occupy
exactly the same state and condition. Therefore, no two persons can be in
exactly the same angle in relationship to the Most High.
Thus, everyone‟s perception, understanding, sense, knowledge and
acceptance of God will be somewhat different or entirely different
depending on the angle from which one is attempting to relate to the
Absolute State of the Most High.
Before the negative state came to its activation and dominance, this
situation was a highly welcome state and condition for all in the Most
High‟s Creation. Everyone knew (as it is also today in the true Creation)
that these diversities and differences in views, perceptions,
understanding, knowledge, acceptance and angles, from which one
related to the Most High, was contributing to the principles of mutual
sharing, to the total proper knowledge of the Absolute Most High. Thus,
this situation was not perceived as a contradiction but as a valuable
contribution to the pool of knowledge of the Most High from everyone‟s
position, angle, state and condition.
If one could picture a situation in which there are infinite numbers of
various people and entities in the Most High‟s Creation, and if everyone
would willingly, happily and gladly contribute one‟s own perception,
knowledge, understanding and acceptance of the Most High, then one
would perceive that the cumulative sum of all these perceptions,
knowledges, understandings and acceptance of the Most High in their
totality would give one the Absolute Knowledge of the Absolute Most
High. This is the principle of spiritual sharing for mutual benefit,
common good and use to all because through such a sharing everyone is
capable of acquiring greater knowledge (and its application) about the
Most High, others and oneself. With such a knowledge and its
application everyone becomes a better person, a happier person and a
more spiritual and useful person.
Thus, the original purpose for which so many diverse views and
religions were permitted by the Most High was just for that reason. To
give people an opportunity to know God better, not only from their own
limited perspective and angle that each of them occupies, but from
everyone else‟s. This helps them to be more spiritual and more
knowledgeable in all matters of life.
This is the original or positive source of existence of so many religions
and their respective sects before the so-called Fall.
However, when the so-called pseudo-creators made the decision to
activate the negative state, they cunningly utilized this situation to
develop in people a negative and evil attitude of self-righteousness,
self-exclusivity and hatred toward everything different from their own
position, angle, state, view and condition.
Thus, in the process of “genesis” of the negative state, all religions
and their respective sects became a major nest in which all false,
perverted and distorted religious doctrines and pseudo-spiritual trends
were born and were developed.
This situation was permitted to be established by the Most High for
the purpose of learning one of the many important major spiritual
lessons: what happens when the proper understanding of the needs for
diverse spiritual trends is lost; the homogeneity of their existential
purpose is denied; and the need for the spiritual, mutual sharing without
any impositions and self-righteous attitudes of one state, angle, view and
understanding is wiped out.
The consequences and outcomes of this situation are vividly
illustrated and demonstrated in the bloody religious history of
humankind on earth, in all the hells and in the Zone of Displacement of
the intermediate world of spirits.
This is the so-called “negative” reason why so many religions and
their respective sects exist.
2. The original people on planet Earth were the true endowment of
and by the Most High. This is reflected in the statement, “Let Us make
man in Our image, according to Our likeness;” (Genesis Chapter 1, verse
26). To make man in God‟s image signifies, among many other things, to
make him in a state of total freedom and independency. To make man
according to God‟s likeness signifies, among many other things, to make
him/her for a unique, unrepeatable and very specific manifestation of
certain traits and aspects of the Most High‟s Absolute Nature in a
relative condition.
Because of this structure, the most important issue that people have
to face, no matter what, is in their freedom and independency (the Most
High‟s image) to make a decision not only whether they want or don‟t
want to be relative manifestations of certain absolute aspects and traits
of the Most High‟s Absolute Nature (His/Her likeness) but, most
importantly, what aspects and traits they choose or don‟t choose to
manifest or to become or not to become in their concrete illustration and
demonstration or manifestation.
But how can a relative, non-absolute entity or being choose
something from the Absolute if no total or immediate, subjective and
direct knowledge of all infinite aspects and traits of the Most High‟s
Nature is available?
The first step in this crucial and vital relation is to agree, from one‟s
free will and by one‟s free choice (from the image of the Most High), to be
a manifester, representative and illustrator in a relative condition of
some aspects or traits of the Most High‟s Absolute Nature. Once one
agrees to do so, one is introduced, in a moment of time, to all potential
and already available representatives in the relative state and condition
of the Most High‟s likeness and its aspects and traits.
These infinite varieties of representations of various aspects of the
Most High‟s Nature give an impetus for origination of various religions
and spiritualistic trends that represent and adhere to that one of the few
certain aspects of the Most High‟s Absolute Nature.
People that represent certain aspects which are in proximity to each
other tend to cluster or associate with one another. The less proximity of
aspects and traits to each other, the less similarity and need for a close
association. Hence, different religious systems and their numerous
respective sects.
However, this situation has another advantage: the concrete
illustration by example of such clusters, traits, characteristics and
aspects of the Most High‟s Absolute Nature gives the prospective chooser
a vivid illustration of the results of a free choice to be a representative, in
a relative condition, of some important aspects of the Most High, thus,
becoming an extension and process of the Most High.
The above described situation is a positive one in itself and by itself
because it gives everyone an opportunity to appreciate, understand,
respect and relate to some other aspects of the Most High represented by
others and their spiritual and religious affiliations. This contributes
considerably to the greater, deeper, and better knowledge of the Most
High, others and oneself, which makes one a happier, better, more
useful, beneficial, and more spiritual human being and person.
However, after activation of the negative state by the
pseudo-creators, this situation was used to falsely proclaim that the
aspect, trait or characteristic of the Most High‟s Absolute Nature, as
represented by some religion or sect or a person, is either the most
important one or exclusive one or the only one in existence, thus,
representing the entire Absolute Nature of the Most High. If this is true,
of course, no other aspects, characteristics and traits of the Absolute
Nature of the Most High have any use or validity and they should be
disregarded and their followers should be eliminated or converted to this
one aspect represented by those who claim such falsity. Such a
proclamation, of course, leads to the destruction of true spirituality and
of any true sense of different religious belief systems.
Again, this was permitted by the Most High to happen in order to
learn another major, important lesson about the negative state: what
happens if one aspect of the Absolute Nature of the Most High is taken
out from the Infinite, Absolute State of the Most High and proclaimed to
be the only feasible one, the only possible one, an exclusive one, the most
important one or the only one in being and existence.
This situation also gives one a choice to reject all of them and to
illustrate a life not only of false or distorted spirituality but of no
spirituality at all.
From this position everyone in the Most High‟s Creation can learn by
a living and vivid example what not to choose. Thus, the choice of not
choosing something is made vitally possible through such perverted and
non-spiritual religious systems and their numerous sects as exist on this
planet.
3. The being and existence of the negative state in the form of various
hells and their numerous manifestations is possible only under the
condition of either total denial of God‟s being and existence or blocking
the ability to acquire a proper knowledge and understanding of the Most
High‟s true Nature. Thus, the life of the hells stems from constant
fabrication and subsequent projection of various ideas, thoughts,
feelings, concepts and states that lead one toward either ultimate denial
of the existence and being of God or toward a total distortion and
falsification of proper understanding and acceptance of the Most High‟s
Nature.
For this purpose the hells fabricated numerous religious systems and
their respective numerous sects into which they infuse such false and
distorted concepts and ideas and make them “holy”, worthy of all possible
sacrifices. However, the major, hidden purpose of all such religions and
their respective numerous sects is to keep people from acquiring a proper
and correct understanding, knowledge, acceptance of and relatedness to
the true Most High. As long as the hells are succeeding in fueling,
keeping, supplying and supporting the numerous different and
contradictory religious belief systems and their respective sects, the
status quo and permanent continuation of the negative state is secured
and safely assured.
Thus, at the present time, the negative state succeeded in nullifying
any positive impact of the existence of various religions and their
respective sects on this planet, as described in point one and two. Only
the negative impact remained. Unfortunately, this situation indicates
that all presently existing religious systems and their numerous sects
are either a total fabrication of the hells or a total corruption by the
hells. It seems that, at the present time, nothing of the original meaning
is retained in any of them.
From this conclusion, it is obvious why so many different and
contradictory religions and their respective numerous sects exist on this
planet: they are the reflection of the true nature of the negative state
that is capable of existing in an activated and dominant state only by
continuous attacks on the proper perception, understanding, knowledge
and acceptance of the true Nature of the Most High, His/Her spiritual
principles, His/Her positive state and the entire Creation.
The only way this can be assured is by production, fabrication,
maintenance and fueling of as many different and contradictory religions
and their respective sects as possible which would constantly be at each
other‟s throats, as bloody religious wars on this planet so vividly
illustrate.
This situation is permitted to continue by the Most High for the
purpose of learning by all in the Most High‟s Creation how the negative
state operates; what the true source of its being and existence is; how it
can be eliminated; why one should choose not to identify oneself with
anything negative; and why not to be involved with any presently
existing religious systems on this planet and their sects.
4. The greatest danger for being and existence of the negative state
and all its hells is in people‟s ability to go inward into their Inner Mind
and discover there the real truth about all this and other matters. The
negative state knows well where the truth can be found. For this reason,
in order to maintain and successfully continue the being and existence of
the negative state, it was necessary to somehow block the path to
people‟s within into their Inner Mind and make them dependent on
external inputs and factors. This would allow the negative state to
impose on people the ideas, views, concepts and style of life consistent
with the needs of the negative state‟s survival rather than with the
internal, spiritual needs of people themselves. The best way to
accomplish this is to preoccupy people with the external state of affairs
and make them accept the external authority in all matters of life. If one
learns to listen to and rely on someone else consistently, rather than on
one‟s own Inner Mind, one will, first of all, doubt anything that comes
from within, from one‟s Inner Mind and, secondly, one learns to trust
only that which comes from someone else who is in the position of
authority to know better.
Thus, the negative state and the hells fabricate numerous external
authorities in the form of various philosophies, religions, sects,
brotherhoods, spiritualistic trends, etc., that claim to have the necessary
knowledge and ways for a proper, happy and contented life for everyone.
And because the negative state usually uses the external, wishful
thinking of people to be this or that way, or worship this or that way, and
so on, it accommodates the content of any religious doctrine to people‟s
wishful thinking.
Thus, the negative state accomplishes two important things with this
arrangement: first, it keeps everyone in the externals, in the mode of
closure to the access to one‟s true Source, that is, to the true Most High
in one‟s Inner Mind, making sure that no real truth is learned; and,
secondly, it establishes contradictory religious belief systems and their
respective numerous sects that confuse and keep people from acquiring a
proper and correct knowledge and acceptance of the true Nature of the
Most High.
Hence, this is another reason for and source of so many religions and
their numerous sects in being and existence on this planet. If one tends
to derive any knowledge from external factors and relies only on them,
with total disregard to anything internal, one ends up in distortions and
falsities that, eventually, lead to evil acts and a life of negativity. The
external factors of life, when they are separated from their internal
source, are based on contradictions and confusions. This was the reason
why the negative state could originate only in the most external degree
of Creation which has the closest proximity to the state of confusion and
contradiction. After all, the true nature of the negative state is based on
contradictions and confusion. When one believes confusion and
contradictions, one gets nothing more than confusion and contradictions.
There is no certainty in anything in the negative state. The uncertainty
of its conditions leads toward fabrication of numerous religious systems
and their respective sects that reflect the true nature of the negative
state: confusion, contradiction and uncertainty. This is the nature of the
externals, if they are separated from their internal Source, the true
Inner Mind or the state of internals where the true Most High resides.
This condition of the negative state leads toward the establishment of
various factions and contradictory philosophies, concepts and
spiritualistic trends that continuously wage war against each other, each
proclaiming to have the ultimate answers to the resolution of all
uncertainties, confusions, contradictions and problems of the negative
state. This hellish situation and its politics is projected on planet Earth
where it appears in the form of various religions and their numerous
respective sects.
Thus, from this standpoint, it is very obvious that most of the
currently existing religions and their sects on this planet are nothing
more than a reflection of the status quo of the hells. They are a direct
fabrication of various groups and factions of the hells for the purpose of
supporting and fueling their life and their pseudo-spiritual philosophies
and doctrines in the most external degree from which they derive and for
which they constantly wage fierce spiritual wars.
Once again, this situation was permitted by the Most High for the
purpose of learning by all in the Most High‟s Creation what happens
when the true internal Source of knowledge of truth and the Most High
is disregarded and everything is derived from external factors and their
states and conditions.
Now, these are some major true reasons for the existence of so many
contradictory religions and their numerous sects on this planet.
Obviously, these are not the only exhaustive reasons. But the knowledge
of what is presented here is, at this time, sufficient to give one an idea
what this is all about.
That presently existing religions and their numerous sects on this
planet are of a negative origin and nature and, therefore, don‟t fulfill, in
any manner or way, the spiritual needs of people, is very obvious from
these two statements that are being quoted here from the Holy Bible. In
the prophet Jeremiah, Chapter 31, verses 33 and 34, one can read:
“After those days, says the Lord: I will put My law
in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I
will be their God, and they shall be My people.”
Verse 34:
“No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and
every man his brother, saying, „Know the Lord,‟ for
they all shall know Me, from the least of them to
the greatest of them, says the Lord. For I will
forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember
no more.”
It is very plain and obvious that this statement (“No more shall every
man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying „Know the
Lord‟, for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest
of them,‟ says the Lord”) refers to the true internal Source of knowledge
of God that doesn‟t require any external teaching or reliance on external
teachers or religions or sects or anything at all where there is nothing
else but confusion, contradictions, problems, iniquities and sins as
illustrated by the life of the children of Israel who represent here the
entire humankind on this planet.
And another quote from the Holy Bible which is recorded in the
Revelation of Jesus Christ, Chapter 21, verse 22. It says there:
“But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God
Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.”
“Temple” in this connotation represents and refers to all religions,
sects, spiritual trends and their various dogmas and doctrines which
must be unconditionally abolished in order to yield to the true doctrine of
the New Jerusalem which is the true New Revelation of Jesus Christ and
His/Her True Second Coming in the Inner Minds of everyone. Only
within one‟s true Inner Mind, where the Most High, the Lord Jesus
Christ (the Lamb — Divine Human and Human Divine of the Most
High), the Holy Spirit, One Indivisible God is and resides, can one
discover the true knowledge of God from God directly and to live a life of
true, uncontaminated, unpolluted and unpoisoned spirituality.
