Religion and Spirituality

A friend sent me this, author unknown. 

RELIGION and SPIRITUALITY 
Religion is for those who want to continue rituals and the formality.
Spirituality is for those who want to reach the Spiritual Ascent.

Religion is for those who are asleep
Spirituality is for those who are awake.

Religion is for those that require guidance from others.
Spirituality is for those that lend ears to their inner voice.

Religion has unquestionable assembly of rules that
need to be followed without question.
Spirituality invites you to reason it all, to question it all and to decide your actions
and assume the consequences.

Religion speaks of sin and of fault
Spirituality encourages "living in the present" and not to feel remorse for which has already passed - Lift your spirit and learn from errors.

Religion is instilled from childhood, like
the soup you do not want to take.
Spirituality is the food that you you seek,
that satisfies you and is pleasant to the senses.

Religion is not God
Spirituality is infinite consciousness and all that is - It is God.

Religion invents.
Spirituality discovers.

Religion does not investigate and does not question.
Spirituality questions everything.

Religion is based on humanity, an
organization with rules.
Spirituality is DIVINE, WITHOUT rules.

Religion continues the teachings of a sacred book.
Spirituality seeks the sacredness in all the books.

Religion lives you in your thoughts.
Spirituality lives in your conscience.

Religion is in charge of the "to do".
Spirituality is in charge of the "to BE".!!!

Too much

What a great article!

I have always been "too much" from the very beginning. It's who I am and the older I get the more I love who I am. I don't want to change. I am who I am so cheers to being "too much"!
