Let’s be abrupt,
I will be.
I wonder if religions are not just the leafy fruit of mental agitation.
I am talking about the inspirations of the books, not the verbiage rehashed on top: mental agitation, artificial arousal of feelings (shame, guilt, etc.) with a view to a reaction of abandonment non profitable in itself.
The approach of Zen meditation is different. Emotions are what they are:
Present, they are to be observed,
Absent, they are absent.
The horizon of Zen is beyond the mind and the emotional corpus.
Let’s be abrupt.
I will be.
Zen does not wade in sentimental bouillabaisse.

The result of mental agitation? Maybe.
Fear that enforces conformity? Quite likely
Of this, I am reasonably sure.
Religions are not the result of divine inspiration
