Why people call religion organized?Depending on where you go, a spiritual leader will lead you to feel something — it could be fire and brimstone fear or insincere feelings of piety — all the while avoiding the hard questions and truths that gnaw on your soul.As an evangelical pastor’s son, Aaron Abke knew that organized world all too well and tried to live that prescribed life for a very short time as a pastor of his own church, until he left it all behind at the ripe old age of 23 because he stopped believing in what he was preaching. Aaron shares a spiritual journey that took him from the fundamentalist pulpit to Ra and the Law of One and all the answers he was looking for this week on Spirit Gym.Learn more about Aaron and his work at his website and 4D University.
