| We have a new religion in town, it is called the | | | | Comfort. |
| Religion of Comfort. People everywhere are joining | | | | I am not saying that we should abandon the |
| this religion for the sole purpose of attaining more | | | | comforts of life and go live in a cave. This is not |
| material possessions. In today's culture, comfort is | | | | what I am proposing. What is essentially wrong |
| synonymous with wealth or materialism. It not wrong | | | | today is the personal inner passion in some of us to |
| to acquire the so-called comforts of life to make one | | | | acquire ONLY material possessions at all cost. Some |
| feel materially comfortable and "happy". This is normal | | | | people who are part of this religion would do anything |
| human thinking and behavior. However, when we | | | | to attain wealth...Anything! Our focus in life should be |
| focused our energies solely on acquiring wealth by all | | | | balanced with both a spiritual and a material |
| means and paying less attention to the spiritual | | | | component. And both components should have a |
| aspect of our being we are fulfilling only one aspect | | | | positive reason and reality attached to them. |
| of our existence. This way of thinking will cause us | | | | Many people today escape from the realities of life |
| to join the Religion of Comfort. | | | | when they abuse alcohol or drugs, as well as applying |
| The Religion of Comfort alters our way of thinking. | | | | other negative circumstances in their lives to make |
| Our egos are inflated and we are not our brothers | | | | themselves "feel good". What they are actually doing, |
| and sisters keepers anymore. We are driven by | | | | is simply numbing their inner true potential. Life and |
| greed and negative selfish actions which hinders our | | | | nature create in each of us the ability to withstand |
| true inner potential. This religion blinds our judgment, | | | | every pressure that may come our way without |
| since we are fixated on acquiring more wealth. We | | | | using any crutches that may prevent us from |
| justify our actions simply by numbing our spiritual | | | | attaining true inner happiness. True happiness lies |
| inner-self. Joining the Religion of Comfort is easy, | | | | deep within our hearts and minds and this is one |
| since it requires of us only to lust after materialism. | | | | primary portion of nature's comforts. Being caught up |
| Life is NOT only about attaining wealth ONLY, it's also | | | | in the rat race of wanting to have more "things" than |
| about attaining spiritual growth linked to a Higher | | | | one can basically afford is also another way of |
| Spiritual Source. We are all spiritual beings linked to a | | | | inviting greed into one's life and this is also part of |
| Higher Spiritual Source and not until we come to this | | | | the Religion of Comfort. There is but one secret to |
| realization will we free our selves from the Religion of | | | | life and that secret is finding truth! |
