Pilgrimage: From Imagination
to Divine Experience
Go as a pilgrim with your hopes ... then feel those grow with energy in your soul.
Pilgrim of the World enables the walking of your pilgrimage--also suggestions so your opening way fits your faith tradition. Obscurity drops away. A trail toward Divine Creation Opens.
Pilgrimage, and the benefits from making pilgrimages, is a belief shared
across faith traditions. A pilgrimage brings an individual closer to the Divine. We have
come from Creation, and through Life we walk as pilgrims.
This millennia-old tradition can be applied by you today. And while each
faith has specific beliefs about “going to Heaven,” the pilgrimage act is shared. More
importantly, it is available to you now. Crossing the world opens appreciation of the
beyond.
What happens is that making a pilgrimage re-frames your religion to you. A
pilgrimage functions as a language. It allows you to communicate with, and thereby
understand, the grand existential. Wach individual life, across the course of that
individual’s time, can be a pilgrimage from birth creation to Creation.
As a religious text writes … or, as a painting patterns The Divine … or,
as a holiday (holy day) distinguishes Time … a pilgrimage also distinguishes. It
achieves this, by etching the Holy on Earth. Life flows on.
The organization, Pilgrim of the World, allows you to individualize the
grandeur of the Sacred. A diversity of options wait to make fit. As a publishing house
makes available many religious texts, or a museum shows sculptures of many faiths, or
calendars align holidays, Pilgrim of the World advances journey—the format being a walk
through a sector of Creation that you customize.
Whatever one’s religion, the force in that is bonding you to Creation
identity. Faith connects you. Bond may turn this way or that (as does a road or river),
but Faith connects one’s mortality to the Grand Universality. Faith can be considered
like a handclasp; the me-to-Thee, individual with God. My devotion to God—God’s
commitment to me.
Whatever one’s religion, the force bonds you to Creation. Faith can be considered like a handclasp; the me-to-Thee, individual with Divine. I go wirth that force and that force come as we walk. Divine and person, walking, holding hands, strengthening their relationship. Walking, as a Pilgrim of the World, we experience Creation
Strong truths come—that is the purpose of pilgrimage. A pilgrimage is an
intentional seeking. This is not an ending, but a becoming. Established pilgrimages gain
their authority by the joining of individual pilgrims who walk seeking. Collective,
integrated gathering, persons making the journeys across centuries, millennia, braids
the destiny journey.
What We Do
The experience of pilgrimage—all faiths share in their ways—some into holy places, others walking sacred lines, others testing on difficult rising trails.
The Congregation of the World expands understanding of Creation—locating this in experience of the journey of searching—shared worship though the world, especially its places and paths set aside by collective action.
Today’s generation inherits a Creation—our role is to pass that on. Nature is increasingly fragile because of humans, so we inherit a responsibility from our forbearers as they passed to us rising quality of life. The approaching responsibility is for All Life. Human actions position one-seventh of Earth today as places protected. Now, through growing this commons, we can gather in individual pilgrimages for the well-being of the whole.
Sanctified spaces can be viewed in a human-walled creation: temple, gurdwara, church, or laboratory. In these, controls over human actions are established to guide human use. The opportunity now is to walk out into wider wonder of Earth Sanctified. There already are paths to grow faith, pilgrimages leading us to explore also the vibrancy of Creation in established Nature Preserves.
Then ... through new creation—we learn and deepen—using a new shared social media we will grow to reach and gather people. Presenting to each distinctive understanding forward understanding rooted in ancient truths they still held and valid but now nurtured for new fruit.
