All world one happy family.
I am beginning to agree with author Felix Dennis that the major religions of the world were essentially promoted to protect the lords and kings of the society from attack by the masses at their power and affluence.
Their advise for their subjects was to pacify them and enable them to tolerate their miserable lives, as compared to the opulence of those who ruled over them.
Christianity mentions, "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven."
My conspiracy view of religion makes me understand this as a clear message for the meek and poor not to bother with amassing wealth for the wealth to be enjoyed in heaven.
Another suggestion in the Bible is "Lay not up to yourself treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, ad where thieves break through and steal. But lay up for yourself treasures in haven."
A clear lesson for the ruled masses to suffer their misery with joy, with the promise of riches in heaven.
Regret even the ancient Hindu religion advocates work without seeking rewards. "Set thy heart upon thy work, abandoning the attachment with its rewards. You are duty bound to carry out your mission, but leave the outcome to the Almighty"
In today's capitalist language this means, I can say to my employees "Do your work, but let me decide what, if any wages I give you."
No wonder people like Felix Dennis are left bewildered with religious dogmas.
To get back to my mission of making it a better world for us, some people who aim to assist simpletons like me benefit from 'You Create Your Reality" doctrines are:
Wishing you Joy and abundance. Shree-1
