Spirituality is a wave, Religion is a particle; Only one is the correct way to God.
In the scientific community, there is a repeatable phenomenon called wave collapse whereby light waves, when observed, become a particle.
This phenomenon explains the power of the human mind to manifest....
If even a wave is present, if we look close enough, we will find a partcle because by natural law we have to find what we are expecting.
This act of observation limits the llight wave to a particle, when really it is a wave.
A similar phenomenon of limitation due to observation happens when one forgets to embody the spirituality of God, and is strictly religious.
In this case, spirituality is like a wave; expansive and undefinable; everywhere at once.
Spirituality is self-realization; knowledge of God based on direct experience.
Spirituality beckons oneness with God; with all that is. In this it is like a wave.
it is unlimited, and is capable of being the catalyst for direct knowledge of God.
While religion, on the other hand is restrictive.
Religion is essentially Dogma based on the spiritual teachings of prophets.
It is direct observation of spiritual teachings; rather than metaphysical inner-and over-standing of the metaphors used to express these teachings.
Religion constricts the spiritual essence of God into a concept to be under-stood, rather than a way of life, a truth, to be accepted.
Religion teaches to be fearful of God, rather than teaching that God is unconditionally loving; that God is love.
Religion restricts the opportunity to know God directly, into a concept of knowing God.
Religion functions as the wave collapse of spirituality....reducing formless waves of consciousness into particles of understanding.
Spirituality is a realization or awareness of self as being close to God, while religion is a study and logical understanding of God.
The difference is that Spirituality is expansive while religion is restrictive; Spirituality is a process of becoming one with God, while religion is separation from God via the worshiping of dogma.
In this way, we can correctly see that spirituality is the way to God; while religion is the misinterpretation of spiritual teachings.
In fact, the only thing one should be religious about if they seek to find God; is the opening up to spirituality...which is about attainment of knowledge and connection to spirit.

I wrote a poem about religion. I looked up some facts about the afterlife. It seems that Christians and Islams are not so different in that area. https://steemit.com/poem/@johnwjr7/5d49jz-afterlife-journey
Every religion embodies truths....but these truths are in the texts of recorded prophets......the religon is based off of the text. Text which hath come into life through the spiritual awareness of prophets who were recorded and who recorded the knowledge of spiritual truths.
Religion interprets the spiritual wisdom of these texts on its own terms, for its own agenda.
For example, no where in the bible has the name "Jesus" been mentioned. So who is Jesus? certainly the risen christ was not named Jesus, as the letter J was invented 1600 years after his existence...
Yeshua the Christed one (so-called jesus)was spiritual.
Religon turned his teachings into dogma....taught to worship him....probly why theey changed the nae....
Good read, thanks for sharing
Thank you.
