"In your love I dance like a whirlwind, I dance like a whirlwind."

New life in the spirit is not the life that was interpreted by the world for you, but the life that the spirit has waiting for you.
Like the smallest of points which removes the mountain of religion called Christianity and replaces it with the new life he went to prepare.
Rumi
I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but he was not there:
I went to the Temple of the Hindus and the old pagodas, but I could not find
a trace of Him anywhere.
I searched the mountains and in the valleys but neither in the heights or in
the depths was I able to find Him.
I went to the Caaba in Mecca, but He was not there either.
I questioned the scholars and philosophers but he was beyond their
understanding.
I looked into my heart and it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him; He
was nowhere else to be found.
Jelaluddin Rumi
I experienced all the baptism of words of Christianity and the eventual understanding that my truth was to come ONLY from YOU,, my life, spirit.
That does not mean much until the experience of meeting YOU, in that moment and in the experiences that YOU and I had, and have now. After meeting YOU, that smallest of points unseen by the world, changed everything.
Why does the religion of Christianity only seem to divide and separate and lead to death and never seems to give what it promises. Because the religion was not the originator of the promises. Like Christianity at the time of Judaism, the truth is in the spirit and will cause such a stir that it would be like letting go of what the world said was God at the time and believing this spirit that was in Jesus. Leading to something totally new that would be unrecognizable to those believing they know Jesus but actually they only know of him. The experience of the cross was the denial by the world and finding new life in YOU. A new creature is something strange and totally alien yet born of love. Consider the actual experiences of those at the time of Jesus believing this spirit that was in him. That reality cannot be duplicated by following the same words written but by following the same spirit to something totally new. Something fresh, something new, something like YOU.
Be like the wind, for we do not see where it
comes from or where it is going but we see the effect.
And the spirit
came upon all of them
