    When one discusses religion with people, they say they need a religion to hold on to, that is not the way to use a religion because if you use religion as something to hold onto, your religion is an expression of unfaith, faith is where you let go not hold on. When the cat falls off the tree, the cat relaxes. You see, soon the cat lands with a soft thud and doesn't get hurt, because she has faith

    The day I felt out of myself
    One day, I was doing an exercise of pretending to be someone else, like actors do when they’re preparing to interpret someone, because I had to write about a very controversial historical figure.
    I was on the third day of this exercise. I had to feel what he felt and therefore think as he did. But on this third day, I forgot to turn off my phone, and I received a very unpleasant message that I had to reply to immediately.
    However, I was so deeply immersed in the other person that I couldn’t return to myself right away, so something really, really weird happened: I left the character and did not return to my ‘regular’ self.
    In less than a blink of an eye, I saw the world and my own existence in a very different way, much clearer than a second before.
    An incredible sense of joy invaded my soul, and I remained in that state for three days. Meanwhile, I felt that many blocks that were the foundation of my blindness were dissolving; many of my small identities just vanished.
    I have never felt anything so powerful in my life. I had a glimpse of what the great masters say, and now I want to feel that again, as I want to remain in that state.

      Potentially.
      But as most things its a two edged sword.
      Then again as usual we humans tend to have a hard time understanding anything but absolutes so we end up discussing of something is bad or good endlessly never realizing both sides are both right and wrong in most all cases.
      This is possible because its always relative.
      In this case its relative to the intentions of the induviduals going to church.

    I enjoy very much listening to Alan Watts. But there are always these snippets of inherited religious dogma lurking around haha
    There is a profound plot twist in all Religions, Zen, Buddhism, Hinduism included etc...
    You are looking up to someone or something or some deity to give you the answers. They cannot.
    You are the full Answer, You always have been. We are all One, timelessly just experiencing itself.
    No need to go through all the fruitless nonsense and ego driven (here including that spiritual ego as well).
    If you are willing to really dive deep inside yourself and find out who you are and surrender, you will understand what all the Masters and Religions really mean...

    "No guru, no method, no teacher,
    Just you and I and Nature"
