What Zen allows, in counter-relief, in reverse mirror,
is to note that other traditions have stifled their living center by trussing it up in a dense network of concepts and representations.
I think that it is not so much a matter of conspiracy which, by narrowing the field of possible investigations, aims at controlling minds, than it is an expression of the narrow-mindedness of the proponents’ official lines among those more akin to a man of politics, than a man of spirituality.
The result is that many dignitaries and consequently their faithful followers struggle to experience the greatness of God.
And when He enters their lives,
It capsizes everything.
