Religious Magnetism

Religions exert a very powerful magnetism on our mind.
In a situation of silence, prayer, meditation,

All of this mental and religious material aggregates and summons itself.
It also completely obscures our practice.

I feel the strength of the past, that of traditions and family cultural representations.
The moving receptacle of our projections and our fears.

The magnetism exerted by religious content is made up of psychological time.
Zen, which often boasts during meetings between religious traditions as being the most liberated of all in terms of the potential for influence over the practitioner, is not in fact exempt from these flaws.

It has a very powerful potential for colonizing minds… All the more so since it easily claims to be beyond, in the mouth of a practitioner who remains below.

Also, vigilance is essential.
As well as an improbable mixture of discipline and freshness,

In order not to let religious magnetisms spread their particles in our brains and come to suck each of our psychic components in order to constitute a smoked glass through which we will come to observe the world.

The phenomenon of magnetization can however be interesting at first, particularly when these religious, magnetized particles spread in an agitated, undisciplined mind, slave of a thousand masters.

The religious particles will come to contribute to cleaning this mental space by a polarization mechanism, they will play the role of blinker to the feverish horse that must be brought back to the box in a pouring rain, as the night streaked with thunderous lightning.

This religious material is an emergency medicine.
Later, when the patient can function again, it will be time to familiarize him with the awareness of these bodily and psychological phenomena.

  1. Hmm.

    I’ve been through the religious structure of the established, ritualised church, and the pretend liberation of the evangelical.

    Both, in their own ways, are like paddocks, fencing in minds. Fortresses for the heart. They are oppressive, but their security can seem liberating.

    But freedom is on the mountain, or in the wind, or the restless tides. Not in these structures.

    I cannot comment about Zen, as I only know it as another aspect of what I will not follow. But, perhaps, that is its point.

    1. Zen is not different,
      in its established version, at least.

      I did not know you had taken a walk down the evangelical path.

      What you said made me think of :
      1 Kings 19:8-13
