It seems we reserve this word for gross acts of violence, shootings, bombings, cyber attacks etc. by what we consider to be extremist groups. Clearly very obvious evil at play.
However, is there at play much more extreme and wide spread forms of terrorism every day, right before our eyes, that we have chosen to be blind participants of? Subtle they seem, but not so subtle once exposed and seen.
Institutionalised Religion comes to mind as one form of extreme and an almost universal form of terrorism, subtle as that ‘terrorism’ may be.
Religion in its current bastardised understanding in essence exists to separate humanity; designed to control and “support” only its membership. This subtle yet successful global divide is one point in question.Yes we are to support but the moment it is for one’s own kind, it is separation.
Should it not be a full support for all equally without having words or teachings that clearly divide? Of course true religion is about the re-alignment to the All that is love; and love has no borders or divide.
This was the original basis of teaching of all the major religions until they were bastardised for the gain of a select few, and the masses without discern and grasping at hope and with what they felt may supply them with the truth and brotherhood they know exists, gave their power away to.
Not all that institutionalised religions say represents the truth, true brotherhood, true love and the true joy that we all are in our essence. In fact, it can be said with a catalogue of historical evidence that they are devised to separate humanity, except in my experience “The Way of The Livingness” via our inner heart.

Absolutely Kevin,
I feel we are born into corruption and it is extremely hard to stay true to the love that is our innermost, we could say we are terrorised from young to withdraw from our sensitivity and delicateness that is innately within and accept instead the lies we are spoon fed to the point as you say that we become blind to our potential. And it takes a lot to honestly admit that we do this so that we do not move in a way that expresses fully the deep love we all come from.
So much of what we call a living way does not reconnect us to our essences and hence falls short of a True Livingness and is thus like a terrorist in our own bodies that keeps us occupied from The Livingness and a Way to evolve.
How can something which preaches unity and oneness be the biggest cause of separation & devision?
Not all institutionalised religions represent love, brotherhood and oneness – but all institutionalised religions come from man, the separation and divide comes from the people preaching and getting stuck in their beliefs – not the teachings from God.
How can we go from: “God is Love” to, “Kill everyone who does not believe what you believe”?
Could it be judgement and jealousy that we align to and thus separate from our essences and evolution?
It could, or it could also be that the teachings in those “sacred books” hold no value, no depth & it is easy to interpret them however one pleases.
Absolutely Viktoria, books can be felt for the energy they are written in and they also hold the energy that creates distraction, murder, killing and even possibly suicide!?
This is a really bold but true observation about institutionalised religion and the terrorism it evokes – with the religions that I know preaching a ‘love’ that is conditional. Terrorism is born of division. Sport is touted as positive and cohesive but it always has opponents. We can look at all that feeds terrorism and I know I have to look at any judgements I make about others, any moments I think of anyone as less, including myself. The ‘war on terror’ feeds into what fuels terrorism when really it could be about us all coming together and setting standards about how we treat one another with consequences for those acting outside of these standards, but never holding them as less.
I can see your point. I feel that with anything in the world that is extreme, before that could even happen there had to be a movement, albeit subtle, away from truth, love and harmony, and then from there a continual momentum of movements until we get to the extreme (in this case terrorism). So therefore in order to prevent this, is it not simple? Which is to reconnect to our inner heart and inner most, where it is also known that no person is ‘higher’ than another. We are all in fact equal.
We are all equal, so important that we do not give our power away to people who put themselves in a position of authority.
“Not all that institutionalised religions say represents the truth, true brotherhood, true love and the true joy that we all are in our essence.” You can tell the truth of a persons word by looking at and feeling the quality of the body speaking it. The Way of The Livingness has shown me this very clearly.
It is terrorism to tell children – or adults – that unless they behave in the way you tell them that they will go to hell.
Institutionalised religions certainly have lots to be accountable for.
To live separated from our soul can be categorised under terroristic acts, as it is a violent disturbance or separation in the human being that otherwise would be naturally there.
It are not only the extreme violent acts that come into the news that needs to be called acts of terrorism. Terrorism, for instance, is for instance when we feel ourselves more or better than another and wield that arrogance to bring separation in the natural connection we do have with anybody in this world.
Not only does institutionalised religion segregate us from each other, but worse still is the lie that it directs in the deliberate dissociation of God from our innate and divine being-ness, as in-truth we are at one with God forever and always, as Sons of God we are His light here on earth.
True religion only ever connects us to the divine love that lives within each and every person, and by this love all are held as equal, a far cry from what religions today represent, which is separation not only from each other but separation from our own divine love within.
It is not surprising that many of the institutionalised religions send people away; the lack of true love and acceptance, coupled with lack of integrity is common.
Looking back over history it is so clear that some forms of religion have mis-used their power to terrorise people. For example; starting a war in the name of God, telling people they won’t go to heaven if they don’t hand over some money to the church or that if they do not repent they will go to Hell. Reading that list of only a few of the ways, it is obvious that, in truth, what is being represented is in no way religion, but simply a way of controlling the masses, because in true religion every person on this planet is equal to another and there is no God making threats, simply holding every single person in the love that they naturally are.
These religions have clearly mis-used their power, they have made life about control and greed, with an absence of true love.
Institutionalised religions have well and proper bastardised truth that we all innately know by introducing ownership and control through bullying as a means to arrive at Oneness.
Institutionalised religions are what have turned many people away from religion.
“true religion is about the re-alignment to the All that is love; and love has no borders or divide.
This was the original basis of teaching of all the major religions until they were bastardised for the gain of a select few….” So true Kevin. The more I hear about institutionalised religion the more aware I am as to how the people have been fooled. I explored a few religions for myself as I knew there was more to life than the temporal, but didn’t stay with any one of them. Not until I came to Universal Medicine and learned about The Way of the Livingness did I realise I had come home and this was what I had been searching for – true love, equality, brotherhood and truth – to name a few of its principles .
Terrorism is the correct word being used here as institutionalised religion has for a long time practiced it, whether that was through the widespread abuse of children, the subjugation of woman, etc
Absolutely Elizabeth, spot on.
Spot on Kevin, this line perfectly sums up The Way of the Livingness ‘true religion is about the re-alignment to the All that is love; and love has no borders or divide.’
“…. true religion is about the re-alignment to the All that is love; and love has no borders or divide. This was the original basis of teaching of all the major religions until they were bastardised for the gain of a select few….” Thus a religion that incites terror and violence cannot ever be called a true religion. As you clearly state – “Should it ( true religion) not be a full support for all equally without having words or teachings that clearly divide? “
