I feel comfortable in any religion only if they belief that mankind is a race that has to grow towards humanity, towards love and respect for al creatures in the univers, that we are a part of the energie/love or whatever, that we can called god, the source of all that exist, in any case is one "thing", not two, so that it is possible to experience that all that exist is one "thing", and that we are each other, that we feel ourselves a droplet in the ocean we are.
For me the goal/aspiration of a religion is to experience the ocean that we are, that we are in a matrix/illusion of separation.
And this is what Jezus said, what Budha said and others, but I don't feel comfortable in a church or in the so called "'Cristianity" or temple that worship any other creature as higher. But I feel comfortable with persons that in a way worship everything because of its origin/source.
I also belief in a feeling of surrender that might help you to experience the oneness/unity of everything. Therefor I think it can help as a tool to bow for something. And I have experienced that there can be even an image/sculpure of a goddes that is in some way a residence for a being that experience the oneness it is, that this being or energie can help you to let go the feeling of the droplet/separation. I have experienced that one can bow for anything in a pure surrendered state to experience the oneness we are.
So I believe that any religion or faith, if its practiced pure in a state of surrender and longing for the experience of the oneness, that it helps, but I think the best way to experience the oneness we are, is to be in the now and here, without any thought and also practice meditation.
