After my healings in Mindelheim, when we were driving back to Schwabmünchen, Yashendu and I were asking Ramona a little bit about Christian beliefs. When she started explaining some things about the Old Testament and the changes in the New Testament I realized again that there are similarities in each and every religion. And I am happy to be able to say that this is no longer my way. I am not following any religion or tradition. There might be some people who are upset or even angry about that but I only want to go the path of love. For me love is god and God is love. As the Prem-Mantra says: Love is the biggest religion.

This is of course what Christianity is all about, but how can you say god is love when you aren't in a relationship with him, and so aren't receiving his love? My relationship with god, and so my relationship with love, is what makes Christianity so great for me.

You can be a Hindu, a Christian, a Muslim or a Jew and have your own rules and principles. But there is something that can be found at the heart of all religions. It is a message of love, which is able to break down barriers and brings the peace, which frees the world. The advantage of love is that it does never have to be translated, no matter where you are, it has an universal validity.

This is my philosophy as well! The famous reggae artist Ziggy Marley has a song, "Love is my religion." It's a lovely tune and a wonderful message. :) I have learned to respect and honor all religions equally... yet I see where they are limited in the expansion of human potential. I see the spiritual truths that underlie and unite all religions, and I see that LOVE is the most important commonality among all walks of life.

There are similarities in so many religions. I am also glad to be out of the loop.

That's right. Don't let people try to convolute the purest form of religion.

You are loveable, lovely and loving. You don’t need to do any change to yourself to please another person. You don’t need to play a role or wear a mask. This world is so big and there are so many different people in this world that it is normal if a few don’t agree with you or don’t like you. Stop comparing and just be yourself.
SourceI am not a Guru, Master or a Teacher. Just trying to be a good student in the school of life.
SourceSpiritual and esoteric people nowadays believe that the world should be just all love and nothing else, forgetting that 'negative' emotions are necessary for living and developing. They have to be there, they are natural!
SourceIf you feel you are overweight and you are unhappy with it, do something against it! You are the one who has control over your mind and who can shape your body. Take your responsibility and start.
SourceSex is a very holy and spiritual act and the subject of soul and body, but not of the mind. If it comes into the mind, it will make you sick. You should enjoy sex with your soul and with your body. Don’t think of it, just do it!
SourceFor many people the happiness of others is a bigger reason to be sad than their own problems.
SourceBeing happy in the happiness of your beloved is true love.
SourceWhy do we need a tragedy to stop believing in God?
SourceCan you measure someone's level of consciousness by the length of his meditation?
SourceIt is the path of devotion and love when you can say to your God ‘Wherever I am, whoever I am, I am yours.’ Then you have surrendered yourself and offered yourself to God. For this you need closeness.
SourceIn a relationship you have to dissolve your ego without any expectations to the other one. If you don’t want to dissolve your ego, why do you want a relationship?
SourceWe don’t need rituals to find God and God will not be especially happy if we do rituals for him. You can find God through love and by being in love, you do the best service to him that you can.
SourceYou have everything that you need now! You have every reason to be happy! Be happy and love your life!
SourceIt is not necessary to believe in the truth for it to be real. Fire for example will burn, if you believe it or not.
SourcePeople prefer making religious donations rather than charity donations to secure a seat in heaven by giving to a preacher or temple.
SourceYou cannot save yourself by trusting in God!
SourceReligion allows you to use your intelligence but only in a very limited way. You can never question the religion itself.
SourceIf you leave all religions and just surrender yourself to love, you will be free of the feelings of sin and guilt. Love will liberate you. Choose this path and you will be free from fear.
SourceDon’t let your ego keep you from saying sorry. It does not make you small to apologize. Overcome your ego and apologize for the wrong you did.
SourceWe all are human, not god, so we do mistakes. Accept your mistake and leave your ego, then you won't feel guilty. Guilt is created when you do not accept your mistake because of your ego. Don't make yourself feel guilty for making mistakes.
Source
