People often ask me why I still do things like go to church, study various types of scripture, pray etc. As a spiritual guide and leader, I will do my best on explaining what a very complex topic could be, in a few short points. Most leaders will tell you they don’t do church and never get questioned because it seems “right” when in fact, they are who you should ask why.

The first most simple explanation is God is a spirit and I am a scholar. How I believe in God may not be the same as how you believe in God. In my reality the universal laws are perfectly balanced rules set in motion by a divine creator. This is the watchmaker God theory. How can I take the time to teach you the way the universe works, without understanding the why or the who?

Second, the corruption of religion does not take away the power of the rituals, the spell casting, the abilities, and gifts described within holy text. So many spiritual leaders will point out how burning sage and manifesting is in scripture, but then tell you not to study it. Make no mistake, it is a difficult task researching divine works, learning the origin of words, finding the corruption, all so I can teach and live-in truth. Scripture teaches that there will be those with holy gifts on earth. Gifts like prophecy, dreams, and speaking to spirits…sound familiar? And I am blessed enough to be a gifted person. Now ask yourself, would you prefer I didn’t know divine works? Would you prefer I lead you from assumptions or from experience and wisdom?

Third, as a scientist we are taught to look at every single angle. To respect the balance of good and bad. I speak to so many people who left church because of the false teachings, hypocrisy, and drama. The very people who are spiritual just not religious. Which translates to “I believe in a divine creator, I believe in spirits and the ability to pray and manifest the life I want, I just don’t believe If I don’t eat pork or have sex before marriage I am going to hell”. The bad side of spirituality is organized religion and the false indoctrination, not the spirit themselves.

When I do attend a church, it is like lecture hall in one of my courses. I am not sitting there like sheep, I am listening to research, not to be persuaded. My professors do not expect me to write papers and give presentations on what they said. It’s expected to be what I have uncovered from their direction. Have I found something new, have I got a different interpretation? The key to science is discovery.

As a spiritual leader it is our duty to research the shapeshifters, to recognize the bad while picking out the good. Understanding that the hidden truths in all holy scripture will stay hidden if we do not decipher and teach what spirit is actually saying. The very reason there is order in the universe, the very reason you can get a reading based on the time you were born or use energy and the universal laws to create your reality, is because of the cosmic balance. And I would be remiss if I didn’t study who set in motion that very balance.

You can use crystals to source energy and the universe can tell you why. You can manifest the life you want, and the universe can tell you why. You can spell cast and understand with every spell there is a price to pay, and universe can tell you why. You can get a reading by those guided enough to interpret messages and the universe can tell you why.

Now ask yourself this, who is the universe. And why would you follow someone who can’t tell you why.
