The Only Way

insistent emphasis dogmatic views make for faith fundamentalistic specious belief eristic rigidity stagnates in a cave caging spontaneity seeking without surrender clinging to scriptures imprisons the soul in a mind trap repeated affirmations manifest heart’s aspirations as a conjured epiphany deepening delusion sans thought who are we unfettered and unbound beyond mental concepts look for that oh hermit

Yes, kind of questions all belief systems, based on religion and ritual. Religion is a mental concept whereas spirituality is a direct inquiry, discovering truth by touch. So fundamentalists say we are lost without Jesus or Buddha or Allah or Shiva, as the case may be. It is a concept, fear based, a control mechanism. Silence connects us with Holy Spirit directly, imbibed as bliss magnetism. That’s the difference.
