Dr. Stewart Bitkoff Q: If God/Light is One, why the many religions? The many religions exist because travelers and cultures are different; these differences in religious form exist to help people better understand who they are. In this matter, there is both an internal and external reality. The internal reality is the spiritual experience of God/Light; for all religious forms, the closer you get to God/Light, the more this experience is singular. Externally religious forms differ; religion puts on different clothes because the climate and traveler’s need vary. Imagine religion as a beautiful woman. One day she travels to a land where it is cold. By necessity, she puts on a fur garment to keep warm. The next week, as circumstance dictate, she travels to another land where it is much hotter. In order to adjust, she sheds the fur and adorns a cotton dress. Depending upon the day you meet her; you will describe her outward appearance in a different way. Yet beneath the clothing, she is the same beautiful woman and any difference in appearance may confuse travelers. It is like this with religion. Travelers get caught-up with the externals; argue about the clothing and forget about the singularity of inner experience. * * The River Before the Word was written It was inscribed On the hearts of travelers With God’s Pen. The stars and all the heavens Sing God’s Story. The land and all the waters Proclaim His/Her Glory. God sent Moses And this Book was the first. For the Hebrew people A golden verse. The River has flowed And always will, Feeding the forest And caressing the hill. God sent Jesus With the message of Love And humanity killed The beautiful dove. The River is One Wherever it flows; The direction it takes Only God knows. God sent Mohammed Who was the Seal: Mohammed taught us all To bow and kneel. We shall journey the River To every stream And humanity will live A wondrous dream. It is promised The Dove shall return And in every heart The Light will burn. Every traveler will experience The parts of the whole And journey the River To the Divine Soul. -SB __________ If you liked this see my book, The World of Pond Stories.
