It seems to me that the best way to restrict human growth and behavior in any area is to create a big box of rules and then demonize and villainize those who attempt to think outside of that box. Yes that’s right, creating a bunch of rules and regulations or commands and restrictive laws can stifle the creative process and prevent an unbiased search for truth.
Don’t expect to win many friends if you agree with such a statement. Those who choose the action of love over legalistic dogmatic behavior may find themselves under a bus of ridicule, retribution and reprisals by many governed by a boxed-in form of faith and religion. To this I say stand your ground and understand that this is absolutely necessary if new ideas are to be created and flourish.
I sincerely believe that our true spirituality was never meant to be boxed into an institution of religion. I believe the nuts and bolts of our very existence centers around service, community and relationship with each other and the one who created us all, but somewhere along the way we’ve managed to complicate it.
Back to the basics may be a great place to start. Good-ole love, kindness and a heart after the one who created us may be strong enough to right the wrongs of today. Or maybe some feel we’ve come too far and are in too deep to ask questions. Hmmm… I trust that this post becomes that trigger for you to give your current position some serious thought.
I’m convinced that this life was meant for so much more than just a plain-ole restrictive box, so I invite you to break out of that Pharisaical box and let’s go out there and make it GREAT!.
