Organized Religion
    #5494049 -

Do any of you practice and believe in the tenets of any organized religion?

And, if so, how do you ignore the fact that 90% of the other religions believe you are wrong, just as you believe they are?


--------------------
No question is so difficult to answer as that to which the answer is obvious.

I believe in some ideas from various organized religions. I take parts that work for me. The thing about 90% doesn't phase me

"People living deeply have no fear of death."
"Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day. And you will come at last to love the whole world with an all-embracing love."
"Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings."

Most people like to think of themselves as being in the top 10% or the best 10%.

any one who thinks they know all the universe is really needs to take up a hobby. none of us will never know everything. if we already had all the answers the continuing journey of life would be boring.

I would consider myself a Buddhist, and do not consider other religions wrong. I just view Buddhists (and possibly more so Taoists?) as sort of "hackers" of reality, trying to objectively discern what is and isn't..... gain mastery of their bodies/minds/psychologies, and pave their own individual paths to ascension by common sense.

I believe in the capacity for enligthenment through meditation, yoga, and even psychedelic drugs and shamanism (though I think I have ruled out that psychedelics are not the path for me, but I may use them in the future at some point) and I view the Buddhist religion as being the most sensible religion that I have been exposed to as to how to, first and foremost, live your entire life in balance, peace, and harmony... and secondly, evolve and ascend.

It just resonates well with me. It's a system for living YOUR LIFE.... not for signing your life away to things that you are not allowed to question. It is not guilt based. It is practical..... it's something to be tested for yourself, it's about day to day living just as much as it is ascension... perhaps moreso.

It's just about living the middle life, taking what your karma is, how your life is, and accepting things how they are and finding balance and peace within them, while fostering a sharper and more aware mind so that you cut out as many distractions and hinderances as possible.

It's very pragmatic to me.

I am the MacDaddy of Heimlich County, I play it Straight Up Yo!

....I embrace my desire to feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow, to feel inspired, to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, to bathe in the fountain, to swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human......
Om Namah Shivaya, I tell you What!

What makes a religion "organized"?

"Have you found the beginning, then, that you are looking for the end? You see, the end will be where the beginning is. Congratulations to the one who stands at the beginning: that one will know the end and will not taste death."
