In all the major religions we are expected to believe in the revelations of men long since dead. Many of these scriptures are struggling to keep pace with modern paradigms and sensibilities, and there is much confusion over what these scriptures actually mean. Instead of these early writings bringing people together, they only bring division. Why was spiritual revelation only for men from previous era's and not for individuals to receive today? Is it perhaps because the consciousness of modern man, with it's over emphasized left brained orientation has closed off the portal to spiritual reception which people from previous era's had easier access to? Why was this connection to the spiritual realm that our ancestors seemed to have had been seemingly cut off? Surely a new revelation or a new spiritual outpouring would be very helpful and is even necessary for the modern era would it not? Religion has only caused division, wars, confusion, bloodshed, misunderstanding, etc. Surely a new paradigm to replace the old would be helpful, but perhaps the god's are no longer able to reach us anymore? Perhaps the byproduct of the modern mind is that connection with the sacred has been severed? Do we have to reply on the previous revelations of men long dead from times which were so different from ours? How long can organized religion stand up whose foundations are old and crumbling, being the product of men long since decayed in the grave?:shrug
