Turning Our Reality Into A Religion

Being in a group should make us feel genuinely supported, but it doesn’t. It’s competitive, because people have different levels of understanding.

Our reality is resting in original pure consciousness. In that moment, there are no religions, words, names, symbols, postures … We don’t get carried off by rapture (intense joy). Pure consciousness is being grounded/balanced where we don’t float around in ideas. Making our reality into a religion is an elaboration of fancy dress that becomes more important than the moment now, anywhere we are.

Simple realisation makes life far simpler, to just be with whatever appears, as whatever appears reflects the state of our mind in that moment.

Religion: from Latin religio ‘obligation, bond, reverence’, from religare ‘to bind’.
