Pure Spirituality and God

By Martin Ettington

I’ve had a life-long obsession with the truth in all areas-especially about God. This has led me on many wonderful adventures.

It has also taught me that most of humanity has the same quest to answer the big questions such as “Why are we here?” and “Is there a God”.

But I’ve also found that although religions which people created to search for these truths are very important they also have so much dogma that they make it confusing for true seekers.

This also creates confusion among those comparing different religions as to which one is the “true one” since the dogma and outer teachings of each religion can seem contradictory.

But there is a deeper common truth in all of these belief systems.

So the objective of this book is to show the reader how true spirituality which is devoid of religious practices is the straightest and most pure path to achieving our fulfillment as human beings in a relationship with God.

I support all real religions (which are not cults) as being vehicles to start people on their searches for God.
But I also want to help readers to understand the larger picture and how they can learn it for themselves.

This book also reviews a lot of my experiences so you can see how I reached the path that I’m on.

2.0 The Power of Religion

There is definitely power in all the major religions.

This power can steer people towards good or evil.

There are very many examples of benefits for a person becoming serious about a religion, but here are some of the benefits:

Cures for Addiction

Building Relationships in a Congregation

Starting and Understanding of how God relates to man

Charities for those who need it

The basis of a philosophy of life

Recovery from Depression

A supportive culture

The downside can lead to the following issues and more:

Becoming a fanatic about a particular point of view

Support of the evils of the government in that geography

Persons living a fearful life

Keeping individuals from exploring spiritual truths in all its forms

Worshiping Icons instead of a real relationship with God. (Like the Golden Calf in the Bible).

Why can results be so different for different people? I attribute this fact to different things. Such as what different religions and denominations teach as well as the orientation of the person in question.

What you get out of a religion depends on what you are looking for. If you are just looking for ritual and community you will find that.

If you are looking for spiritual truth you will find some of that too. But you have to really dig deep to learn the deeper truths about spirituality.

Overall, I believe that established religions offer entry to a spiritual path, but the pure spiritual truths are covered up in many cases by the dogma established by people over hundreds or thousands of years. It is the nature of people to add their work and beliefs into whatever they are involved in.

The Art in the church, Music, Writing, and Architecture, are all example of what people add to their religions.

3.0 Those Who Don’t Believe in the Spirit

Unfortunately, in our world today most people worship science and technology and don’t believe in or know of the existence of the eternal spirit in their
