Transitioning spirituality in a sustainable striving world

I believe we should all be able to believe what we want to believe in terms of religion, but at the same time, wouldn’t it be great if all the world’s religions, spirituality, Buddhism spiritual ecology, etc., all got together and focused on what we all have in common as far as positive well-intentioned aspects go. Then, we can learn from our differences. We should have a similar foundation where all the positive messages from all teachings could be related. Then we have Nature striving and natural spirituality striving with God for similarity and a unique diversity pyramid. This integrated, holistic spirituality would be an interconnected web of Earth spirituality centers/churches/synagogues/etc. All around the world. Deviations from the overall well-intentioned commonality theme or specific branches of beliefs could meet simultaneously in addition to a common integrated service. This idea would get everyone focusing on the well-intentioned behavior that our loving and caring God would want us to focus on instead of being so divisive and competitive. Another benefit would be feeling welcome at any spirituality center/church/synagogue/etc, anywhere worldwide. If we all worked together to spread love, hope, comfort, and joy throughout the world in a way that integrates the absolute best messages to people, we could bring more needed spirituality back into this world. Let me be clear that this transformation will not eliminate any positive, well-intentioned message from any one spiritual belief as long as it is a positive, beneficially impacting message for people on this planet. We must inspire people to learn about genuine kindness, love, compassion, and forgiveness worldwide. We must spread messages of helping one another and picking people up when they need help. We need inspirational words of wisdom in all forms with something to offer as long as they add to functioning and contribute to positive upward spiral beneficial behaviors on our planet. It makes no sense to me that we waste so much time spreading condemnation speech in some branches of spirituality, but I hope we can put these differences into a learning context to learn more about how they may impact our planet. I don’t know about other beliefs, but God is all about love. I have a hard time imagining anything else. Therefore, let us put it all in that context; otherwise, we risk contributing to destructive messages that may impact our world detrimentally by creating conditions that foster excess ultra-competition behavior. Imagine the inspirational fortitude that could help propel us forward when we all work together on our planet for strictly well-intentioned purposes. Other benefits include the ability to go to any integrated house of worship anytime, anywhere, the ability to go more often because an integrated house of worship will be closer geographically, the ability to continually learn and put spiritual messages in context with nature and our natural functioning, the ability to organize and help one another through missions and common purpose, the ability to maintain your current spiritual traditions, holistic rituals, and methods of praying as well as long as they are beneficially impacting in a well-intentioned multidimensional way. Wouldn’t it be great to be a part of the entire planet Earth’s population functioning holistically for all of our people and the rest of nature? Imagine the cohesiveness and unity of purpose and enlightenment when we bring together all the spirituality, philosophy, and natural perspectives from those who know more about nature and God. Maybe God and Nature will help us determine our relative priorities. We must let heaven and Nature sing…..
