I was reading a book this morning and came across this line and it resonated strongly as what I see happening in the world, in the people around me…
They are so desperate to defend their position…
To defend their higher power (as though without them, then he/she/it disappears and becomes nothing – Not a very powerful higher power then!)…
To defend the need for everyone to go along with their way of looking at things…
And they mostly do it to the detriment of actually living out what they say they believe.
And for some people, they would rather be right than happy…
In fact, they make a theology out of their sadness…
And next thing we know, everyone should be sad and pursuing happiness in the after-life…
And all because some charismatic dude (unfortunately, is it usually a dude because who listened to women in the days when dogma was laid out!) decided that his struggle to make his religion work must mean that everyone has to have same struggles and in fact, it is part of the journey to Nirvana.
But really, it was just some person’s struggle made holy by making it seem that their holy book said that everyone must feel the same way.
And then finally, some people decide to break loose – At first they get ostracised from the religion…
And then gradually, people accept their way of thinking as the new dogma…
And then people start to defend THAT new way to the death…
Until the next new wave…
It may sound like I am jaded and frustrated by this and I suppose I am because I see people trapped in lies that people JUST LIKE THEM have made up and made into a dogma when it was never supposed to be that!
It was just some person’s struggle…
That person looked at the scripture that day and decided that it meant their struggle was valid…
And then started to teach that to the world…
While giving themselves an out from having to fix their issues because hey, it is spiritual to struggle and be broken and poor!
And because struggle is rampant in the world, everyone who is looking for relief takes that to be true and gives themselves an out, as well…
Except… REALLY?
You would rather stay in chronic struggle rather than find a way out?
Unfortunately, I see that the answer for many is ‘yes’…
Well, I am not many…
And I speak to you the one who knows there must be more to life than just jaunting from one struggle to the next because you think it makes you holy!
What if you simply question things?
What if you allow your religion to be fluid and dynamic?
What if you allowed yourself to grow, instead of stay stuck believing things that do not even feel all that great?
Why be convinced that you have to struggle, in order to be spiritual?
Would the truth shatter if you looked at it too closely?
Then is it truth?
Honey, is your religion working?
Really?
If it is then great…
If it is not, then be open to exploring new ways of thinking and believing…
For me, the whole point of religion is to bring me into intimate relationship with Papa and wherever it stops doing that then I choose to let go of that.
And wherever it tries to convince me that Papa wants me to suffer and then possibly go on over to hell for all eternity to suffer some more and that somehow that is supposed to be LOVE!!!!! then I gotta question!
I am not even going to pretend to have all the answers…
I have all the questions though 😀
And I am comfortable with that…
Because this ONE thing I know – PAPA LOVES ME COMPLETELY!
EVERYTHING else is up for debate!
