@etherean.mission: What is religion really for? Brother Ishmael Tetteh challenges the idea that spiritual life is simply about pleasing a distant God, asking for favours, or securing a place in heaven someday. If God is Spirit, then spiritual life must do more than give us beliefs. It must educate the spirit and transform the person. What happens to the anger, fear, hatred and jealousy we carry? Do we merely cover them with religion, or do we actually become different? Jesus said, “The kingdom of God is within you.” So the work is not only to prepare for heaven after death. It is to awaken to the Divine within and learn to live that reality here and now. #SpiritualAwakening #Christianity #KingdomOfGod #BrotherIshmaelTetteh #EthereanMission
