One God..many faces.

[Great Spirit]

When I was a wee lad, I was high one time smoking with my friend and they were playing chees, but I was thinking about God and all of a sudden in my mind I had a vision of the Cross, and then I had a vision of the Muslim moon and the star. I realized that these religions and icons are just different aspects of God and that all religions have equal validity and all are precious in God's eyes.

Anyone have a similar spiritual experience?

Woah! what a great revelation. I have also thought the same way. If God does exist i believe all religions are equal in his eyes.

God and religion are manifestations of our fear of death, no person on earth can really comprehend what lies beyond, therefore many people, many viewpoints. Comfort comes with knowing others think like you, hence organized religion.
When it comes down to it we are all afraid to die because of the unknown, and when it comes to the unknown we all wonder, hope or ignore......????

One time I was completly faded, I closed my eyes and had close eyed visuals. The most spiritual vision (closest to spiritual...) I had was really weird. First I saw volcanos, like 5 of them side by side just blowin lava everywhere, and the sky was almost blood red. Then I saw some guy dressed in army camo standing on the ledge of this huge rock, and this is the strangest part, I was then looking at a field and what looked to be thousands of people popped out of the ground, holding these crosses above their heads. Thats when I was like "wtf" and opened my eyes, I don't know if it's significant but it had me thinking...

Lol well I had a dream about God last night...I was high when I fell asleep (I forgot how I fell asleep) but anyways I had a dream I found Jesus's cross and I made the wooden board that was horizontal into a horse-shoe like shape so it looked like a devil's fork. Then Jesus came back and it was the end of the world lol. It doesnt seem to scary or anything but it was freaky in my dream man.

Religion just helps us understand the concept of "God". No religion can fully understand it. However, when I was 14 I had a dream where I met either Jesus or my Higher Self and the feeling was such a peaceful and loving experience. Take the best thing that happened in your life and multiply it by infinity and you may come close. I can now say that I DO NOT fear death...as death is only an illusion. I know where I am going when I pass!
