Do religions represent God?

[Little Rik]

At one stage in my life I was very interested in knowing what is behind this universal drama.
At that stage a mysterious force brought me to the teacher.

The saying goes........when the student is ready the teacher will appear.  

---

I suggest to keep an open mind to all possibilities and have the desire to know.  

If you, the student, know that you are ready because the right teacher came to you, how is that different from the fifty eleven religions that also believe they have found THE TRUTH?

OTOH

If you're open to the possibility that you might be listening to the wrong teacher then how can you ever know that you're ready?

We are all different Rhonda.
We choose different path to travel in search for peace of mind and total bliss.
If you look in the NDEs experiences....... http://www.nderf.org/Archives/exceptional.html ..........you will find different people that travel different ways and yet God doesn't argue with them as far as they follow a moral way to deal with their lives.
Despite the fact that they don't follow yoga like me they still are shown the knowledge and the way to climb the spiritual path.
Everybody can receive the knowledge from the teacher.
I never said that I am the only one who receive it.
It is true that many people say that they follow the correct path even if they only dream that they follow
so how do you know who is right and who is wrong?
One way is to see whether the teaching lead to real progress or not.
I only can talk for myself and as far as the teachings lead to progress I am quite satisfy that I had the right teacher and the right teachings.
All the rest is up to everybody else to work out and that will only happen when they put an effort in it.
