ORIENTATION # 1073 : RELIGIO ___________________________________ From a private conversation ___________________________________ Heres an exercise, an exercise aimed to be an invitation to all religious people: what the word religious means to you ? Please: think attentively before saying the act of worshipping, love for god, jesus and so on.. Have you ever asked this question to yourself ? What the word religious means to you ? Just the meaning please... The concept only.. Do not search it on Wikipedia please, nor do not take notes for the next lesson please.. (here there are no teachers and no pupils).. Can you think about these things without necessarily involving your idols, your archetypes, your gods, your sacredness and so on ? If you cannot, then Im sorry; we must stop here.. cause your are lost in your verbalized and conditioned perdition: whatever Im going to say will be nothing more that trash to you .. Can we go on ? So lets go back where we left off: Just the meaning : what the word religious means to you ? Profoundly .. Do not get upset please, which is futile.. this is an invitation to go very very deep.. so: what the word religious means to you ? Do you know what the original meaning was ? It had nothing to do with gods, transcendental things, spiritualisms of various typologies, myths and superstitions.. The very meaning was: to stay together .. now are you together with the rest of the world ? And with reality ? Inwardly and outwardly.. Are we ? Are you ? Because, (you see ?), if your interpretation of religion means the relationship with the divine..and similar nonsenses.. then your are separating yourself, with your tribalism, from the rest of the reality and the world, and therefore you are fomenting violence .. (please realize it: we are trying to think intelligently here.. not trying to stupidly create different factions): first of all because you know nothing about this so called divine .. therefore you pretend to establish a relationship with something you do not even know ! And second of all because you have invented the so called divine.. your ancestors have done that, your culture, traditions.. and so on.. This is what religion became: the opposite of what it was supposed to bring about : living together, equally, with no division, salubrious, wholesomely intelligent and evolving in peace.. man and reality together .. _______________________________________________ endoffear.weebly eofproject.org jessicamystic
