text: I believe that each one of us contains the Divine seed within. I just know that God incarnates on Earth many times whether as well-known incarnations such as: Jesus, Buddha, Satya Sai Baba, Krishna, etc. or as someone unknown working quietly. I view them as fully grown Divine trees that continue to give fruit and help nurture our "seeds" within so that we may grow to be the beautiful trees that they all are.\n\nI believe that it takes several lifetimes to continue to grow. We pick up where we left off spiritually in the previous life. I am sure I've had several lives in different religions because I feel a sense of familiarity with many religions and don't see one as better than another, just a different perspective of the path towards God.\n\nSince I view religion like a map that we hold in our hands, but the map itself does not take you to where you want to go. You have to do the actual action to get yourself to the destination. And those actions are the divine qualities that you need to develop in order to get to the destination of God: love, wisdom, acceptance, tolerance, nonjudgment, peace, joy, humility and so on.\n\nAlso I believe that if one had spent their previous life studying spirituality seriously, then the next life, one would probably not need the map/religion in order to get to Self-Realization. It just becomes much more natural and spontaneous for them because they are just "remembering" what they had learnt previously.\n\nI believe in what Jesus teaches. I love his parables. I also believe in what Buddha teaches. I also believe in what all of the Hindu Gods and Goddess teach. These all are Divine teachers. They all have a lot of similiarities. They all teach me who to become within in order to be closer to God, that seed within. They all teach me what it really means to be loving, compassionate, wise, accepting and nonjudgmental.\n\nI just believe that everybody can teach me something about myself whether big or small. Even people who do the opposite can still teach me how to NOT be that way.
