On the drive home I was thinking about religion and spiritual growth...Then I was thinking about the personal truth concept and knowledge/experience making it bigger...Then something hit me...
Like an epiphany....If there isn't one 100% true religion everyone could follow, then the personal truth concept is alot bigger deal than I first expected or percieved in my truth. It was like I could say ah-ha to myself. I keep hearing people sending the message that you can do anything, or dreams do come true...You know....It made me have this feeling of great Amazement towards the individual person, including myself and how important are learning, doing, dreaming. It makes me feel like the universe gets bigger with each new breathe I take. It feels like the more I can focus in on an object/idea, my world actually is larger and smarter.
Is this crazy? Can my world be larger than someone else's? And how important are we really, I know there is alot bigger picture to this, and I'll find it.

Corey you are on the right track. You can read the questions and answers here and see that some peoples worlds are far bigger than others. A closed mind is like a fence that keeps us trapped in the same nonsense day after day.
God is not limited to any single religion or any particular thought system. God is as big as the universe and probably a lot more. God is the source of all that is and all that will ever be.
Religion seeks to limit God and own Him/Her. They often act like they have a patent on the idea of God. This is nonsense. Religion is often little more than a lie that is told about God to get others to follow blindly, without question.
This is not faith it is confusion.
If you are seeing this clearly on your own you are probably ready for a graduate course in reality and human relations.
I suggest that you get a book called the course in miracles. It somewhat exhaustively explains many of the ideas you are talking about in great detail.
It’s well worth the effort.
Love and blessings

Daniel 4:
All this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 Twelve months later, as the king was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, 30 he said, "Is not this the great Babylon I have built as the royal residence, by my mighty power and for the glory of my majesty?"
31 The words were still on his lips when a voice came from heaven, "This is what is decreed for you, King Nebuchadnezzar: Your royal authority has been taken from you. 32 You will be driven away from people and will live with the wild animals; you will eat grass like cattle. Seven times will pass by for you until you acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone he wishes."

Your truth would still be different than anyone else's. And yes our world does expand the more we experience.
Happy hunting!

Your world is only as big as you let it be. we keep it so small and yet God is so big that He wants us to experience it all. But as He said, "oh ye of little faith."

The more you know. The more you open your mind.
The more you open your mind. The bigger your world gets.

It would. If everyone believes his or her own truth, so be it. I just ask that no one critisizes someone else just because they believe that he or she is wrong.
