The Path to Our Higher Nature is the Path to Becoming Angelic

Humanity stands at a crossroads between its lower, beastly nature and its potential for angelic behavior. Resisting and rejecting the unrelenting, vast, and varied, often attractive and enormously tempting urges and dictates of our lower nature would make us angelic, not angels. God has, I suppose, plenty of angels. He is interested in those who become angelic by suppressing their beastly and behaving, often in the face of the most daunting odds, angelic.

The journey towards becoming angelic is not one of innate purity but rather one of conscious choice and effort. God’s teachers bring us instruction manuals to help us become angelic if we choose. This guidance will elevate us and help us navigate our moral and ethical challenges. Christianity, for example, in its essence, serves as a beacon, illuminating the path to spiritual and moral enlightenment. Jesus reminds us that we are to be kind and compassionate to others. Treat people how you would want to be treated.

Religion is like energy. When energy is used wisely, it benefits mankind. When it is misused or abused, it is humanity’s bane. Therefore, credit or blame rests with the energy user.

Religion is a particular case of energy in the same way that steam is a derivation of fire. Steam engines move mass in physical space. Religion and emotional energy propels people’s minds in the metaphysical realm.

Religion may need only be tweaked and updated as our world evolves and grows. The core tenets of compassion, love, and justice remain timeless, yet their application may require re-interpretation in the context of contemporary issues. This is not a call to abandon tradition but to embrace a dynamic and evolving understanding of spiritual principles.

However, in the modern world, we are witnessing the rise of ideologies that claim to merge different religious beliefs under the guise of unity but, in reality, propagate division and conflict. One such ideology is Islam, which must be rejected because it is not a religion but a declaration of war.

Islam pretends to offer a bridge between two of the world’s major religions but instead foments discord and undermines the very foundations of faith.

The emergence of Islam highlights the dangers of distorting religious teachings to serve political or militant ends. True religion seeks to unite, heal, and guide individuals toward their higher selves. In contrast, Islam exploits religious identities to further a militant agenda, creating an environment of hostility and strife. Those committed to genuine religious principles must recognize and oppose this perversion of spiritual values.

To truly become angelic, we must engage in the rigorous practice of self-discipline, continually striving to rise above our baser instincts. This involves cultivating virtues such as patience, empathy, and humility. It is a lifelong endeavor requiring constant vigilance and reflection. Becoming angelic is not a linear progression but a journey marked by setbacks, triumphs, learning, and growth.

Religious teachings provide a framework for this journey, offering wisdom accumulated over millennia. By drawing upon these teachings, we can develop the moral fortitude needed to resist the temptations of our lower nature. This resistance is not about suppression in a negative sense but about channeling our energies toward constructive and compassionate actions.

Moreover, in a world increasingly driven by materialism and immediate gratification, the challenge of adhering to spiritual principles becomes even more pronounced. The allure of power, wealth, and sensory pleasures can easily lead us astray. Yet, in resisting these temptations, we forge our character and align ourselves with our higher purpose.

In this context, community and collective support cannot be overstated. Surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals who share a commitment to spiritual growth can provide the encouragement and accountability needed to stay true to our path. Together, we can create environments that nurture and sustain our higher aspirations.

Focusing on shared values and common goals can build mutual respect and collaboration bridges. This approach not only counters the divisive tactics of ideologies like Islam but also enriches our spiritual journey by exposing us to diverse perspectives and experiences.

Ultimately, the quest to become angelic is a deeply personal and communal undertaking. It calls for an unwavering commitment to transcend our limitations and embody the highest ideals of our faith. As we navigate the complexities of the modern world, let us draw upon the timeless wisdom of our religious traditions and support one another in our shared journey toward spiritual and moral excellence.

Thus, the path to becoming angelic is noble and arduous, marked by the continuous effort to rise above our lower nature. By adhering to the teachings of true religion and rejecting perversions like Islam, we can aspire to fulfill our highest potential and contribute to a more harmonious and compassionate world. Let us embrace this journey with dedication and grace, knowing that in striving to become angelic, we honor the divine within ourselves and each other.
