Eclipse

 When you put religion between a person and God, it is called “Eclipsing God.”  God is light and religion is supposed to help reveal the light, not hide it behind rules, dogma and theology.  God is near and even within.  Jesus said this plainly.  But sometimes a religion says that God is far away, up in the heavens and we have to do the right thing, say the right prayer, and get God to come closer, so as to get the ear of God for our wants and plans.  Some parts of religion are medieval and have failed to evolve as we have learned more about our universe and creation and our very selves.  We need to awaken to the Presence, and not try to make it happen.  We cannot control God.  That bothers some people who want to be the power.  Surrender is difficult for such types.
