Quote:A religion that teaches you God is something outside the world--something separate from everything you see, smell, taste, touch, and hear--is nothing but a cheap hustle.

Gettin' old, but still a hippie at heart...
Quote:I think a ginormous impediment to humans having a meaningful conversation about religion is that we continually get religion and spirituality hopelessly mixed up in our minds. That's what happened in the other thread, but quick. And make no mistake, religion absolutely wants it that way. Religion is telling you that religion is the only adequate expression of spirituality. The fundamental heresy in all religions is the perfectly natural human query: "Yeah, but what if that's all bullshit?" Spirituality is an experience. Religion is a dogma, another man's prejudices handed to you as if by God Himself. Every human being knows this perfectly well, but some choose to ignore and deny it.

Quote:That having been said, I think it's a benevolent belief system, and I wish modern belief systems were more like the belief expresssed in this heretical song.

Quote:"How does one seek union with God?" "The harder you seek, the more distance you create between Him and you." "So what does one do about the distance?" "Understand that it isn't there." "Does that mean that God and I are one?" "Not one. Not two." "How is that possible?" "The sun and its light, the ocean and the wave, the singer and his song — not one. Not two."
Quote:"Help us to find God." "No one can help you there." "Why not?" "For the same reason that no one can help the fish to find the ocean."
