Undoubtedly many people have religious experiences. An important question is if all (if any) religious experiences also indicate a communication with the Creator of the universe. Many devotees of all religions would answer that the religious experiences that the followers of the other religions have only are brain constructions, and that they are not indicators of a communication to the Creator. Or could it be that all religions originates from the Creator; which would imply that the contradictions and conflicts among all religions reflect an intrinsic and internal cognitive dissonance and dysfunction within a self-contradicting Creator? We will go through some basic formal logical argumentation about the Creator to be able to answer that question.
Being logically consistent (orderly), the orderly universe must mirror its Prime Cause / Singularity-Creator—Who must be Orderly; i.e. Perfect. Therefore, no intelligent person can ignore that our purpose and challenge in life is learning how we, as imperfect humans, may successfully relate to a Perfect Singularity-Creator without our co-mingling, which transcends the timespace of this dimensional physical universe, becoming an imperfection to the Perfect Singularity-Creator.
An orderly—"not capricious," as Einstein put it—Creator (also implying Just), therefore, necessarily had an Intelligent Purpose in creating this universe and us within it and, being Just and Orderly, necessarily placed an explanation, a "Life's Instruction Manual," within the reach of His subjects—humankind.
It defies the orderliness (logic / mathematics) of both the universe and Perfection of its Creator to assert that humanity was (contrary to His Tor•âh′ , see below) without any means of rapproachment until millennia after the first couple in recorded history as well as millennia after Abraham, Moses and the prophets. Therefore, the Creator's "Life's Instruction Manual" has been available to man at least since the beginning of recorded history. The only enduring document of this kind is the Tor•âh′ —which, interestingly, translates to "Instruction" (not "law" as popularly alleged). (Source and further reading of how to relate to the Creator: www.netzarim.co.il)
The fact that the Creator is perfect implies that He isn’t self-contradictory. Therefore any religion that contradicts Torah [1] is the antithesis to the Creator.

Having deduced that Torah contains the Instructions of the Creator, Torah requires of all of humankind to to their best to keep the directives in Torah non-selectively to their utmost. This includes not eating pork, not eating shellfish, to not do melakhah on Shabat (click on the words for an explanation and many more directives.
Do you want to take the consequences of what you just read? Then you shall continue to read!
Now that we have deduced that the Creators Instruction manual is found in Torah and that He requires of all of humankind to observe this Instruction manual, I will give you some help of how to learn to relate to the Creator by observing the directives in His Torah:
To learn more about the Creator and His purpose I recommend you to read the following articles :
If you are a Christian: I recommend you to research our website www.netzarim.co.il . Take the tour bus, which you will find in the bottom of the first page, and it will guide you throughout our website. I recommend you to start your studies by reading the page "Christians", which you will find on the main page.
If you are a Muslim, I recommend you to read this article (click on this link) in my blog, in which I also have included further instructions of what to read.
To all theists (including everyone belonging to a religion): I recommend you to read these articles:
Answers to the big questions of life.
In order to learn of how to relate to the Creator you will need to start studying Torah and start doing your best of putting what you learn into practise. Study the weekly Torah-portion in www.netzarim.co.il (click on the ”Calender”-page in the left menu; then click on the link to the right of the text reading “Pâ•râsh•at′ Sha•vu′ a”). This will help to give you an understanding, which is in accordance with science (including archaeology and etymology), of the meaning of passages in Torah and the relevance of Torah; and will help you to learn how to read Torah in the language it was written (Hebrew).
You can obtain an Tan’’kh (which includes Torah) on Amazon (Search for the “Artscroll Tanach Stone edition.”)
Be sure to not rely on a translation! (All of the translations available to buy contain errors.)
I recommend the "A Comprehensive Etymological Dictionary of the Hebrew Language for Readers of English (Hebrew Edition)" [2] by Ernest Klein (it contains the roots of all of the verbs, so you will need to learn how to find the root of a verb; this you can learn in the above Parashat Shavua-link ).
You will also find more valuable book tips in our Netzarim-website; click on “Israel Mall” (in the left menu); “General” (in the bottom menu))
I also highly recommend you to take our course – click on the “Non-Jews”-link in the left menu of our website.
