Have we not all lost the plot in some way?

Religion is best described as an interpretation of Faith.

Faith is the belief in God.

As each man (and woman) is different so our interpretation of Faith will be different.

Many people share the same religion because it makes sense to them as an interpretation of thier Faith.

True 'Religion" is born of true Faith which, by definition, can only be spritual and not of this world or of human understanding.

In order to find my own true faith I need to get in touch with the spirit within me which is my soul.

The soul is an intricate part of the human psyche which science etc. has never been able to understand.

The existence of an induvidual soul in every human being can never be disputed.

Some call it concience, some call it the fourth dimension, some call it sixth sense.

Getting in touch with our own soul through awareness of the working of the Spirit within us is the only true religion.

To this end most 'religions' try to show a way to get in touch with our own spiritual side but fail as we are all human and the baseness of our own lives takes over.

We become so entangled in the material and our own 'social standing' that we lose sight of the spiritual that is both within us and without.

By taking time out from this world (a retreat) we give ourselves a chance to get in touch with our spirit/soul and so draw closer to a new life.

The question of where we came from or where we are going is academical as nobody knows.

All we can know is that our soul existed before we did and will continue to exist when we are gone.

It therefore follows that by getting in touch with our inner soul we draw closer to God and the true reason for our being.

Who knows, we may even be able to prepare for the next stage of our eternal journey?
