What is the Future of Organized Religion? – Part 1/2

February 8, 2026 by Steve Beckow

“My God!” “No, my God!”

The Vatican has proven to be an earthly center of child trafficking, pedophilia, illegal financing, and, of all things, Satanism.

The Islamic mullahs of Iran have shown themselves to be servants of evil as well – taking their people’s money and using it to finance terrorist organizations around the world, enslaving their women, and annihilating their own people. They’ve forfeited the title to being in any way “religious.”

Being loving does not include allowing yourself and others to be murdered. Jesus reminds us:

Jesus: You live in tumultuous times and you live in a time of fulfilment. … You are leaving compassion and latitude for correction and understanding.

You are bringing to light what needs to be revealed so it doesn’t destroy the fiber of your society. …  When you see the shadow, it defines the light. (1)

Being loving includes protecting us and them and treating the surrendered enemy with compassion.

If I were to examine the roots of the problem, well, the Buddha told us what they were millennia ago: craving, aversion, and ignorance.

But that is at such a high level that most people might ignore him. Yet what he says lies at the very heart of religion. And life.

So even though it is high level, let me examine what he’s saying here.

Footnotes

(1) Jesus through Linda Dillon, Heart Call, Sept. 19, 2020.

The low vibrations of control, greed and deception are being overcome by the high vibrations of self-confidence, optimism and freedom as more and more of Earth’s peoples are absorbing light.
Light, the same energy as love, is Creator, the Source of All That Is—that is who you are, who every soul in the cosmos is—and the light you radiate is helping Earth’s peoples awaken into that reality.
By observing the ongoing drama of this process but not being drawn into it, you are further empowering yourselves, the peoples, and all other light beings in this universe. (Matthew’s Message, Sept. 1, 2022.)

Divine Mother: [I am speaking about] those in … positions where control and abuse of power have been rampant. That will not be the platform [from] which integration of the various galaxies [into the new, interdimensional region of space] takes place. That is not the Plan.
I know very clearly, Sweet One, as do you, if it is not [in] my Plan, then it will not occur. …
Make no mistake, … Love will win because that has been my Plan always.
(The Divine Mother in “Enter the Delegations – Part 2/3,” May 5, 2019, at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/05/05/enter-the-delegations-part-2-3/.)

Beloved child, son of my heart, [Ascension, spiritual evolution] is only about love, about the many expressions, about the many forms.
And truly of anchoring and being nothing but the love, in intellect, in wisdom, in sharing, in adventure, in relationship.
It can only be [that way] when you continue to bring all adventures, all arguments, all explorations back to the love.
(The Divine Mother in a personal reading with Steve Beckow through Linda Dillon, April 30, 2019; also at http://goldenageofgaia.com/2019/06/01/the-divine-mother-it-is-all-a-journey-of-love/).

Archangel Gaia said
“I am now telling you what your mission is on Earth – it is to be an angel on Earth.
“You do not have to change the people around you; you do not have to get involved in politics, or that kind of activity.
“What you are meant to do here as a lightworker is to anchor a certain vibration.”
