聽神談【「必備資格」的幻覺與「宗教」】
儘管在宇宙裡並沒有真實的「條件」，你們卻堅決相信「有條件」是存在的。當然它存在於神的國度裡。你們每一種宗教都那樣教導你們，所以它必然是廣泛地存在於宇宙裡。你們因而決意認為它是生命的一個事實。所以，你們花了生生世世的歲月試圖在搞清楚，如果你沒有達到「必備資格」的話，那什麼條件能容你創造你所渴望的人生──以及來生。如果你符合了「必備資格」，便沒有問題，但萬一你沒有呢？
對這問題的探尋將你導入了一個死胡同，因為並沒有條件。
人類無法想出他們可能 需具備什麼 資格，才能讓自己回家，回到神的身邊 。所以他們盡力而為…… 而捏造了一些東西出來。這些東西又經由你們所謂的「宗教」被解釋出來。
宗教不僅能解釋那些「必備資格」，並且還能解釋如果一個人不符合「必備資格」，那他怎麼樣才能重獲神的愛。就這樣地，寬恕和救贖的觀念被誕生出來，它們是愛的條件。神說：「我愛你，如果……」，而這些即那「如果」。
如果人們客觀地看事情，那麼「每個宗教對寬恕和救贖的解釋都不同」的這個事實，就可能已證明它們全是捏造出來的。
摘自《與神合一》第8章
The lack of true Conditionality in the Universe notwithstanding, you have believed firmly that Conditionality exists. Surely it exists in God's kingdom. Every one of your religions has taught you that. So it must exist in the Universe at large. It was, you decided, a fact of life. So you have spent lifetimes trying to figure out what conditions could allow you to create the life— and the afterlife—that you desire if you did not meet the Requirement. If you met the Requirement, there was no problem. But what if you did not?
This search has led you down a blind alley, for there are no conditions.
Humans could not imagine what conditions could possibly have to be met in order for them to get back home to God. So they did the best they could.., and just made some up. These were explained through what you call religions.
Religions could not only explain the Requirements but could also explain how one could recapture God's love if one did not meet the Requirement. Thus, the concepts of forgiveness and salvation were born. They were the conditions of love. God says "I love you if," and these were the "ifs."
Had people looked at things objectively, the fact that every religion explained forgiveness and salvation differently might have been proof that it was all being made up. But objectivity was not something humans proved to be particularly capable of. It is not something many humans are capable of even today.
