Love is better than any religion! No,
not puppy love or ‘love with strings’,
but a real, deep, authentic love. Just because someone can shoot a basketball,
doesn’t mean they can be a professional player. The majority experience some
degree of love, even if it’s with their dog or cats. All wives or husbands,
boyfriends or girlfriends are quick to acknowledge love for their partner. Love
is an easy emotion to obtain, and yet fizzle to a memory as well as occasional
spurts of feeling. That’s not the love that cancels attachment to any religion.
Of course, the mind may cancel religion, most likely before it’s ‘embedded’.
A friend of mine talks about his
partner constantly complaining about his life and wanting to move to a new
country and my question to him was ‘why
doesn’t he just do it’? He said that his partner was too attached to his family
and the routine that is his life. It’s the same thing with religion, once ‘embedded’ there is little hope to
question the ‘religion’, and seek
better answers which are always rationalized away. The fear of the ‘unknown’ often gives birth to
uncomfortable complacency. This is ‘YOUR
LIFE RIGHT NOW’! Better options start with seeking them!
My clear experience is that when love
with another rises to a peak where the ‘false’
you is ‘gone’, and both are of one
mind and heart, there is a permanent change. Part of that change is to see that
you and your experiences are focused on the highest expression especially the
emotional, spiritual, and general being. In that state, if you had been
attached to a religion, it disappears. You become the ‘vehicle’ for a religiousness that is apart from anyone else’s words;
call it perhaps a ‘spiritual high’.
There are two paths to an enlightened
consciousness. One path is through meditation, the other through love, or what
I call lovitation’. Either path
rarely reaches its peaks, as the ‘seeker’
settles into an ‘ego satisfaction’
that falls short only leaving them with glimpses of what could be. It is not
possible to experience the bliss and joy of the showering of meditation, or
deep love if attached to ANYTHING,
and that includes ‘ideologies or
religion’. Before the real can be seen, the false needs to be ‘let go’ of. To ‘see’ is arduous judging
from the billions who ‘lock step’ to
religions. Seek to be in your heart, and with awareness as well as
‘discernment’ to climb out of ‘programming’.
It’s a breeze once you reach the level of ‘intelligence’!
An excellent post. In reality it is the great combat.
