It is no surprise.
Man misses God and God is always silent.
‘Among Languages,I am Silence‘ Lord Krishna says.
Being silent ,unaffected by the events around one,joyful at all times is the meaning of attaining peace and Godhood.
When Religion becomes dogmatic, forgetting that the Religion is for the people, right at that moment God, for that Religion, is dead.
‘The Kingdom of God is within you’ said Jesus.
Unfortunately, the Church, instead of following this, has been , for centuries, resorting to blind liturgy, ceremonies and other paraphernalia.Unless the Church returns to the main teaching of Christ , simple living, high thinking,tolerance and eternal quest to realise God,the West shall remain materialistic and be plagued by self doubts.

Europe today is tired of religion and bored by God claims the Irish bishops in a new pastoral letter dated March 29. Throughout the European Union it appears that God is ‘silent and unmissed in the lives of many.’
The bishops’ 12-page document, titled ‘Repent and Believe the Good News,’ advises the Irish not to follow the lead of their neighbors on the continent.
The bishops reiterate Pope Benedict’s observation that Europeans seem tired of their faith, including their history and culture, and they no longer seem to wish to know Jesus Christ.

Christianity has been preaching Dual realities that of God and Satan .
This has resulted in ascribing certain attributes to Satan on par with God and an ongoing battle between the forces of Good and Evil.
Good is supposed to win with a good fight on its hands.
The dichotomy of ascribing Dual Realities is a logical fallacy as the interaction between the two has be triggered by the third thus ensuring the fallacy of ad infinitum.
That which is beyond the control of One Reality gets the status of another Reality.
This means that you are attributing the Status of Reality to Satan as well.
This confusion at the Religious level confuses the ordinary faithful and now this has resulted in the bizarre act of a woman ruining her life by calling herself as Devil’s wife.
Confusion feel muddy and scary – almost paralyzing. Yet I believe that confusion can be one of the signs of spiritual awakening. What ifconfusion is just your old way of life bumping up against new, more fulfilling possibilities? But to make the move, you’ll have to leave a few things behind. Listening offers up temporary turbulence. Resisting create more confusion. The way out? Stay open to the new, and relinquish your attachments to beliefs that no longer work.
2. You no longer ‘fit’ your life
Why did I choose this career? This partner? What did I ever see in that? Like confusion, feeling disconnected from your current life can be re-framed as one of the signs of spiritual awakening. Like confusion, your soul is calling out for change. The question is: are you listening? Change is scary. No one’s suggesting that you uproot yourself tomorrow. But as you notice what no longer fits, also notice what you’re drawn to, what lifts your heart. Then take action. Rinse and repeat. 🙂
3. You’re rebelling against where you came from
Who says you have to turn into your parents? If you’re questioning the rituals that you were born into, that’s great! Why? Because questioning is one of the signs of spiritual awakening. Because questioning will lead to new activities, rituals and a new dynamic in your relationships – including the possibility for a soulmate relationship if you want one. Be happy – you’re ready to come into your own! Keep the wonderful things your parents taught. Tweak the rest for you.
4. Your life feels ‘blocked’
You’ve been seeking true love forever. Your health problems stump you. It feels as if everything you do is blocked. Sometimes, ‘blockages’ can be one of the signs of spirtual awakening. Sure, your situation might call for more external effort. Or – perhaps it’s a soul sign to turn inward and re-evaluate. What have you been resisting? What options have you ignored? If your decisions are consistently blocked: explore new ones. My hunch? That’s where your soulmate lies.
5. You think you’ve met a soulmate
Your life was moving along tickety boo. Then you meet, and all of a sudden you’re having feelings you’ve never had before. Are you crazy?Should you control it? Or give in with wild abandon? Re-frame! Perhaps this is a sign of spiritual awakening for you. You’ve been set alight. It’s time to ask big questions. Who are you? Are you happy? How do you wish to spend the rest of your life? With your needs buried, unmet? Or in a deeply intimate relationship with life – and potentially – awakening to soul love. Do soulmates exist?
Be honest. It’s been building up for years The small tensions, irritations. You pushed them aside. Then all of a sudden, you’re at your tipping point and you become a flurry of anxiety and compulsion. You quit your job. Have an affair. Buy a motorcycle. The potential pearl is to take your newfound courage, and harness it, like a beautiful wild stallion. Your midlife awakening can be the best thing that ever happened: one of the signs of spiritual awakening… and a brand new way for you to experience life.
7. Your dreams are wildly intense
Sometimes, you wake up and it takes a while to return to reality.Perhaps a dream was prophetic. Perhaps you received a ‘download’ that helps you understand your life, a past life, or gives you a clue about a soulmate. The dream realm is powerful. It’s where we can get in touch with our own and the collective unconscious. When dreams rise up, honour them. Truly, dreams are one of the signs of spiritual awakening.
8. You’ve had moments of psychic clarity
Maybe you don’t even believe in such things! Yet it wasn’t a woo-woo vision – more of a deep knowing. Psychic vision is simply our attunement to the realms which we cannot detect with our five senses, presenting possible and probable outcomes. An increase in psychic sensitivity is one of the signs of spiritual awakening. Embrace it. This vast knowledge is there to guide you… in life and yes – as you seek your soulmate.
9. You want to go ‘Home’
Now I don’t mean going home to spend the weekend with mom and dad. I mean Home in a universal sense. As we’re all spiritual beings having a human experience, sometimes we miss our spiritual Home on the other side. This may also feel like an unexplained longing, or sadness. Our task is to integrate our spirituality on earth, so when we feel this way, it’s an opportunity to connect with our deeper selves. If this resonates for you, read about my experience.
10. Your neck, base of the skull and lower back hurts
Simply, this type of chronic body pain represents the cells of your body waking up to a new vibrational level. Our minds and spirit is more fluid than our bodies… which need support when we awaken. I’ve experienced these symptoms the most when I’ve been detoxing on homeopathy, after which I feel stronger than ever. A homeopathic remedy I personally use which dissolves emotional issues in our cells and (I believe) supports awakening.
11. You’ve experienced a loss
Whether you’ve lost a relationship, a soulmate, a job, or a home, loss rips us open, leaving us raw. When the shock subsides, we are faced with a choice. To sink further into despair – or view the loss as one of the signs of spiritual awakening (not easy, but with reward). If we decide to recover instead of resist, our life will become richer in time… and so will our ability to appreciate life and love in all of its forms.
12. You’ve encountered death
Perhaps you’ve faced your own mortality because of illness. Or that of a loved one. Perhaps you have been engulfed by the waves of grief.Regardless, you know you’ll never be the same. For some, grief marks the end of life. For others (in time), grief is a way in. One of the signs of spiritual awakening. A gateway to a new way. For bursting forth from the resonance of grief, incredible beauty and healing is possible. For Self, for others…down the block and maybe even around the world.
WASHINGTON, DC—Calling the theological giant’s stranglehold on the religion industry “blatantly anti-competitive,” a U.S. district judge ruled Monday that God is in violation of anti-monopoly laws and ordered Him to be broken up into several less powerful deities.
“The evidence introduced in this trial has convinced me that the deity known as God has willfully and actively thwarted competition from other deities and demigods, promoting His worship with such unfair scare tactics as threatening non-believers with eternal damnation,” wrote District Judge Charles Elliot Schofield in his decision. “In the process, He has carved out for Himself an illegal monotheopoly.”
The suit, brought against God by the Justice Department on behalf of a coalition of “lesser deities” and polytheistic mortals, alleged that He violated antitrust laws by claiming in the Holy Bible that He was the sole creator of the universe, and by strictly prohibiting the worship of what He termed “false idols.”
“God clearly commands that there shall be no other gods before Him, and He frequently employs the phrase ‘I AM the Lord’ to intimidate potential deserters,” prosecuting attorney Geoffrey Albert said. “God uses other questionable strongarm tactics to secure and maintain humanity’s devotion, demanding, among other things, that people sanctify their firstborn to Him and obtain circumcisions as a show of faith. There have also been documented examples of Him smiting those caught worshipping graven images.”
Attorneys for God did not deny such charges. They did, however, note that God offers followers “unbeatable incentives” in return for their loyalty, including eternal salvation, protection from harm, and “fruitfulness.”
“God was the first to approach the Jewish people with a ‘covenant’ contract that guaranteed they would be the most favored in His eyes, and He handed down standards of morality, cleanliness, and personal conduct that exceeded anything else practiced at the time,” lead defense attorney Patrick Childers said. “He readily admits to being a ‘jealous’ God, not because He is threatened by the prospect of competition from other gods, but because He is utterly convinced of the righteousness of His cause and that He is the best choice for mortals. Many of these so-called gods could care less if somebody bears false witness or covets thy neighbor’s wife. Our client, on the other hand, is truly a ‘People’s God.’”
In the end, however, God was unable to convince Schofield that He did not deliberately create a marketplace hostile to rival deities. God’s attorneys attempted to convince the judge of His openness to rivals, pointing to His longtime participation in the “Holy Trinity,” but the effort failed when Schofield determined that Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost are “more God subsidiaries than competitors.”
A similar instance involving Lord Balaji,Tirupati,India, where Lord Balaji’s Profile is seen on the rock face of the mountain where His temple is located.
Sandra Clifford, a pilot from San Francisco, captured the image on her digital camnrea when she visited the famous Co. Clare tourist attraction on November 4 last.
Jesus's Face in the face of a mountain.
Clifford (42) and her friend Fiona Fay from DroghedaCo. Louth were spellbound by what they saw and immediately Clifford snapped the shot of what they said appeared to be the face of Jesus Christ. Fay first spotted what appeared to be an image of a man before pointing it out to Clifford.
“To me it was Jesus Christ straight away,” added Clifford, who is a practicing Catholic.
