Taking Our Religion, Philosophy And Ideas Apart

If we are not prepared to look, we are merely followers, repeaters, ideologues.
If we do have the courage to look, using ‘Occam’s Razor’, we dissect our fixations to see what we’re all about.

Occam’s razor; the simplest explanation is preferable to one that is more complex.
Simple theories are easier to verify. Simple solutions are easier to execute.

“Hmm, I don’t need that, or this … I do need meditation from time to time, because I forget … ”

Just following others and going along with their routines, we remain in a four-year-old’s mentality of do’s and don’t’s which may not be appropriate to our understanding. 

For social reasons, I call myself ‘Buddhist’, but in non-duality of non-meditation, there is no ‘Buddhist’ or ‘Buddhism’ or ‘Buddha’. Meditation is a method to become aware of pure awareness; once aware, we do not need to ‘meditate’, otherwise we spoil it.

When we take everything apart, all that is left is pure awareness, and nothing ‘interesting’ – ‘interesting’ is for academics and the religious.

What we are actually doing is taking our self apart,
and finding nothing permanent, 
but just a mind clinging to the pride of knowing names, words, ideas.

If we meditate, there are no emotions, no crusade.
Crusades keep the war going.

Realisation is in the first instant of emotions = compassionate wisdom.
