Getting Over Religion

Getting over religion is getting out of religious fervour,
and realising what life is all about.

Religion can be either a preparation or a prison. We first have to be in it to know it. It’s no good just criticising religion from the outside because of the way people look or sound. Religion is suitable for a certain type of person. The word ‘religion’ means to bind, but there comes a time when we have to stand on our own feet. Even the Buddha would agree with that.

There’s no talking to religious people because they’re fixed in their religions ideas, and equally, there’s no point in talking to naysayers as they also have their fixed ideas. Both claim to be factual, but they’re both extremes.

The truth of reality is in the seeing.
Anyone can do this, and they don’t have to be religious.

Reality isn’t about how we see through mental bias and fixations. Our reality is the pure seeing that has no need for words or commentaries. Once we are able to see, perceive, just be aware, anything else is a distraction. When we focus on the work in hand, pure consciousness is present.

Spiritual discovery isn’t about how high we can go;
it is a matter of clearing away the pile of mental junk
covering up pure consciousness that is here, now.

The clearer we see,
the lighter we feel.
