Christians
get caught up in the cross and don't get caught up in the teachings.
They praise Jesus and say “Let me get my praise on to bring Jesus
down.” Well, where is he? If he's going to be with us always,
he'd have to be with us in spirit.
Donna: So many people are focusing on spirituality right now,
what does this mean?
Barbara: We are trying to find out who we are. You see,
it's not about religion.
The question is, 'Are you religious or are you spiritual?' Religious
people belong to a church that subscribes to a denominational theme.
They have tenets that they live by. They may have prayer books. They
may have study books. They may have to go through the catechism or the
lessons of truth. That's your religion. That's the way you live.
It's a way of living. But you are born with your spirit. Your spirituality
is an inborn part of you that's like God. God could not create you
without having a part of itself in you. So that's what spirituality
is. And, what people are beginning to realize is that there's something
more. They would say, “Girl, I don't go to church because I'm
not a religious person.” But they can know that we are spiritual
beings. We teach that you are a spiritual being living in a spiritual
universe governed by spiritual laws. Now, when you come from that level,
then you have something that you can change over in your human life.
But as long as you're only human and you're just religious,
nothing changes.
Donna: You begin prayers during church services with 'Dear
Father/Mother God...'
Barbara: Sure, because if everything came out of one entity,
it's got to be both male and female. [Many others] say 'Dear
Mother/Father God.' I just say 'Father/ Mother God' because
that's the way it came through me. But there has to be a balance.
How can you just create a male when we've got male and female?
