Releasing Conformity for Expansion

 

Q: Need encouragement breaking free of church tradition & now believing Joe's (Dispenza) teachings (question I responded to on FB)

 

R: Leaving 'the church' is not the same as leaving 'God', although any belief system would claim otherwise. Divine source is everywhere, everything. There is more expansion to be experienced than staying within the context of a traditional belief system and the expectation of others, no matter how seemingly 'popular' their ideas are. I do not know what sort of church you are referring, but for me it was the christian church that I left. I did not leave divine source. I asked some serious question of my heart (where Jesus lives ) and came across serious information to consider. It's not that there are not any truths in the religious scene, there are some, and there is a lot more information to consider that will not be offered from any one single place. I have known many loving people that are still with in the context of religion who work to remain in integrity with where they are, and that is perfectly fine, too. As for me, I knew there had to be more and that some beliefs that are held onto in a church setting were unsettling and seemed off center to me. No matter what you are doing or where you are on your path, keep asking your heart the questions. Watch information come your way. Learning to discern what resonates with your heart is a daily practice. I can tell you after over a decade of 'asking the questions' I am closer to Divine Source than I have ever been. If it helps, look to the verse that says something like 'draw nigh unto me and I will draw nigh unto you.' There is nothing wrong with a child asking a parent questions, that is how we learn. Likewise, there is nothing wrong with us asking our heart/Divine Source any kind of question. In addition, just because one decides to entertain a new school-of -thought, or another's ideas, does not mean we have to take them on as our own. It's just another school of thought. Somethings resonate and some don't. As more information comes in, there is more to consider, and expansion will naturally occur. All the best on your path!
