The Void

Here are some things that I’ve been shown about humans.

It pertains to how we are structured, not from a cellular perspective, but rather, from a spiritual one.

Humans were designed to need the designer.

Without this connection, there is a huge void, and unfortunately, many think that the void can be filled through religion. It is not possible.

The void can only be filled through spirituality, connecting to the source of life.

Picture, if you will, a spiritual lock with a keyhole in the mid-chest area, where the heart rests. Every single human is built with one, and each keyhole is unique.

A key is necessary to unlock the passage into a space that contains a human’s spiritual reservoir.

The reservoir is an invisible yet actual vessel that needs to be filled with spiritual substance. Christ likens the substance to fresh water that he called living water as he talked with the Samaritan woman.

It is only when the key unlocks this space that true spiritual life can flow.  

And, I’m not talking about an afterlife; I am talking about in the here and now.

The key is held by a life force that is superior to that of a human being.  It is the same source that Abram called the Most High, the same source that the Hebrew prophets called the Lord of Hosts, and the same source that Yeshua called Father.

It is the force that has been known as the one and only true and living God, introduced by Abram as he left Ur.  

“God” is a carry over term that Abram brought with him from Mesopotamia, and the word, God, has been heavily associated with religion.

Yet, God did not instruct Abram to start any religion as He led him away from the religiously saturated culture of Ur.

The concept we have of God, because of religion, messes up the mental image of the invisible force that Christ introduced as an entity synonymous with a loving father.

Christ called God, his Father, and he taught that God is invisible like the wind. One can see the effect of the wind as it rustles the leaves on the trees, so it is apparent that it is there.

However, no one can see it and there is no way to tell from where it comes or to where it goes.

Christ taught that God is a spirit and seeks for humans to worship Him in spirit and in truth.

According to Isaiah 42 in the Hebrew Bible, truth is taught by the chosen one, the servant of God that was sent to teach us the true way—that’s Yeshua, better known as Jesus.

And, that is the meaning of worshipping God in truth. It is by following the teachings of Christ.

The word “Him” in the above passage, is not gender specific. It probably got used because it sounds much better than referring to God as an “It.” 

And, I’m sure Yeshua used the term God, because it had been so engrained in their culture. Yeshua wanted to speak the language of the people, so they could relate to his teachings.

However, I believe that this higher spiritual intelligence wants to ditch the term God at this point, because of all the damage that has been done in the name of religion.

Religion has taught us that God is an angry old man who is going to toss all of humanity into a furnace if they don’t do exactly what he demands. 

Well, Christ did not teach that. Rather, he taught us how to spiritually know this loving entity that would feed us like the birds and clothe us like the lilies of the field.

He taught that God even knows how many hairs are on your head because He cares so deeply about you.

The examples above show the stark difference between religion and spirituality. In fact, they are polar opposites.

When people follow religion, they follow a set of man’s rules to try and connect with God. They are led to believe that they are on the right path and that they will meet God in the afterlife.  

In contrast, when God unlocks the door to the spiritual reservoir of a human, it is a present reality. When one’s vessel is filled with living water, it is a profound occurrence, and one will know when it has happened to them beyond a shadow of a doubt.

It is a mind altering and a life changing experience.

The only way I can explain it, is that there was suddenly a reality that was not present prior. It was a real phenomenon accompanied by a strong sense of peace and incredible love which was awe inspiring, yet comfortably familiar.

Christ called this experience being born again, and the spiritual place that one is born into, he called the kingdom of God.

Yeshua taught that the kingdom of God is not a place where you can say it is here or there; rather, it is within you.

I was a good Christian for years and thought that I was “born again,” because of my religious teaching.

However, I was wrong. The day that it actually happened to me, I suddenly knew what it truly meant to be spiritually born again, and eventually, I was led out of the religion of Christianity.

I kept the spiritual teachings of Christ and discarded the religion, and that is were I have found life.

Unfortunately, the Christian religion has taken over this term born again, and has misrepresented it.

So, how do you find the source or the key holder to unlock true spirituality?

Christ taught his followers that one must seek to find. He said, “seek first the kingdom of God.”

It is a personal spiritual journey.

When it happened to me, I knew that Christ was the teacher of the correct pathway to God, because of a strong sense of knowing that flooded my spirit and immediately filled the void that I had been experiencing.

Then, confirmation began to happen as I embarked upon a spiritual journey where numerous different occurrences took place in my natural life that verified that I was on the right path.

The product derived from my spiritual walk was an incredible sense of peace and fulfillment, even in the face of adversity. I knew I was connected to something greater than myself that not only gave me comfort, but showed me what I needed to do in certain situations.

It is a real phenomenon.

And, the biggest sign that let me know that I had found the true way was when I started seeing the fruits of this spiritual connection to God starting to manifest in my life.  

Christ taught his followers to look at a person’s fruits to determine what kind of tree they are, good or not good.   

I was producing fruits of compassion for humanity just like Christ displayed, and that is when I fully realized that I was becoming like my teacher.

So, back to the spiritual lock with a keyhole that resides within every human.

It is God that unlocks that compartment of the human spirit and can fill it up.

When humans boast that they know God while crusading their religion, they are bringing counterfeit spiritual substance and trying to pass it off as the real deal.

However, the human spirit can tell the difference, because humans were designed to need the designer.

Religion is like a drug that is enrapturing in the beginning, but will eventually leave an individual with a longing for truth.

The void will always be present until the true spiritual source of the living substance of which Yeshua demonstrated is found, which produces a real experience in this present life.

When it happens, you will know that you have found a source of energy and life and love beyond description.

The Christian religion just talks about this phenomenon. It has no substance to produce it, and that is why it eventually leaves its members feeling the void.

The true way that Yeshua taught is the path that leads humanity to the master key holder, who is a real force that can unlock the spiritual reservoir of a human and fill the void.
