How the spiritual community becomes so fragmented [1]

On the surface it may not seem like the spiritual community is fractured at all, but if you look a little deeper there's very little real unity. I've worked with many of the spiritual teachers, gurus, messiahs, channelers, religious leaders, all the self-proclaimed spiritual authorities and I've noticed they don't get along with each other very well at all. Publicly it's usually all smiles, but when you put them together privately it's something resembling high school drama. These are people who are used to being surrounded by people who automatically believe what they say. When they're out of that element, their beliefs get challenged by other people with strong beliefs, and this almost always results in conflict.

Take channeling for instance and all the people who claim to have "behind the scenes" information. If these are reliable sources of information, their stories should confirm each other, shouldn't they? More often that not, they directly conflict with each other, and there's an excellent example of this with the recent Malaysian airliner disappearance. I counted at least 5 different stories of what happened, and I watched as people fought over which one was correct on Facebook.

I wonder how people determine which story is correct? Is it the first one they read? I bet it's usually the one that conforms to the person's preconceived worldview. The people who want to believe Obama is an evil villain chose the story where Obama was responsible for the plane's disappearance. The people who want to believe that ETs are coming to save everyone believed the version where the plane is now on a starship. So many conflicting beliefs, and being spread by people who are supposed to be about creating peace and unity.

Belief systems create conflict, and that's what following all these separate spiritual authorities does. People try to solve this conflict through creating conformity in what people believe, which just creates more conflict as it goes against what it really means to be a human being. All these different people so busy in their minds trying to figure out which beliefs are true. Is this really how Truth is discovered? Is someone else's story more important than your own Life? That's often how people behave, their words may say something else, but their actions tell the truth.

All of the people who follow some leader, some authority figure, this is why the spiritual community is so divided. If you do this, you're searching for God outside, and you have divided yourself. There's never going to be unity between people when they haven't even found Unity within. What we need the most now is for people to blaze their own paths, to live fearlessly, to neither follow nor lead, but to simply be happy with who they Are and actively create who they choose to Be.

When you get in touch with your real self, your authentic self, what other people believe doesn't have to create any conflict at all. This is why we encourage people to find God Within and not through someone or something else.
