/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\Tonight as I awake from a Autumn Night's Dream, I prepare for yet another week of travelling the path of knowledge, I gaze towards my almost seemingly untouched Bible, its stained and parched pages unobserved, its stories yet untold to me, forgotten by the generation of immediacy and decisions. Free from the tyranny of the Inquisitions of ideologies. For this post i decided to direct my thought towards that of religion. Reconciliation with society comes by accepting the sacrament of a collective ideology. In the mist of ambiguity, humans crave to find the roots of stability under the dirt of confusion. We prefer to travel the path of existence following a collective route. And believe our cheap tears will conceal our sins, created by pure instinct, however they only weaken the foundations, with fundamentalist stains of conformity. The muted screams of reason hidden under pure odium and fury of fanatics.
For me the Little Prince has shared the gift of enlightenment, it fittingly describes why we are so desperate to believe.
The Drunk had sweet liqueur
The King had power
the Business man had work
to occupy a hollow and unfulfilled crevice of an existence
to create stability in a reverie of delusions bliss
while entrenched in unwanted thoughts, the malaise of reality.
By a primeval instinct, we need to find stability in an ambiguous world, filled by false promises and instant needs. In a world of enigma, we become ensnared under our need for certainty.
And this is why in every culture we have deities, heroes, villains, protagonist, antagonists, Spirits, Gods, and so on. They only differ as they reflect the very essence of individual values, but in that individual mould, it shapes a collective belief, a collective ideology and collective society. May they believe monotheism or polytheism, the main reason for religion is to create a purgatory refuge of stability, in a reality plagued by uncertainty.
The ritual of an individual existence begins with a unified serenade.....
Goodnight!
