Connection.

The more I read, study and think about things, the more I realise that everything, yes everything, is connected. In the past I've read and been told this but back then, say thirty years or so, I didn't get it. Now, after reading about and by simply thinking about my own life experiences, I do get it. The different religions, ancient and modern, have obvious connections, from messiahs/God's/Goddesses and the time of the year they were born and died, to the length of their lives and the pattern of their lives. The connections between Christianity, Judaism and Islam are obvious but while reading "comparative religions" articles I began to see connections between ancient Paganism and Christianity, especially the timing and nature of the religions festivals. ie.Christmas/Yule, both on or around the winter solstice, the re/birth of the Sun/Son. That brings me to something i've only recently come across, Astrotheology. I have not studied the subject long or thoroughly enough but the subject has caught my interest enough to warrant more study. 

Studying and understanding comparisons between religions is an extremely complicated subject and I would be grateful to anyone who reads this for any advice or guidance they could give me on any part of the subject. 

All comments are welcomed and appreciated and I will reply to questions.

Till next time.
