TAO vs. Religion

01. Where did religions come from?

This question looks easy, but is not answered correctly by every religion believer or researcher.
The origin of religions is, rather than the society, mind. The difference between human beings and body of substances is that human possesses mind that feels the Myriad Things. Without mind, human is like merely a body of substance. Not even mention civilization and development, and religion.

All religions in the world and their theories come from nature and human’s mind. Without mind, there is no life. Without life, where religions came from?

Since religions came from human’s mind, does it mean that the mind of one who practices his religion is the highest existence? One who is obsessed over idols and all kinds of religious forms, denying the energy that perceives all things—mind, denies the essence of life, and denies the Creator. How can one who denies his real self talk about truth, cultivation, and religion?

All forms of religions are different, while the root that generates religions is the same. Human’s minds are different, while truth is the same. What all genuine religions are talking about is truth of the Myriad Things, pointing out the nature of human’s mind…
