What is religion?

Religion (2/19)

What if religion is wrong, just a human overlay of control?

Anything that materialises has to pass through the veil of the ego (Nefesh). It has to become self-identified, have some primal ideal of “beingness”, of existence - an idea that seems to come from somewhere within-ish. A driving reason reason for going into any depth is to seek the actual source of this thrust into existence. If we deny its (ever) presence in our present existence, then we need to seek the beginning/starting point and perhaps there is where we will encounter the reason for our existence, for there is where the source/realm from/with which it merged would be most clearly present.

By the fourth iteration from its source, most traces of the initial event have been dispersed, and the complexity of the event begins to emerge. Thus we use archetypes, some esoteric, some pseudo-scientific - or so-called rational - and symbols to trace a route to the source. However, any route transmitted will be shaped by these symbols, and will have to be expressed by these archetypes, which necessarily constrain the description, providing only an approximation.

As the whole of creation is expressed in the language of creation, which to any that do not speak that language it is in “code”, foreign to those unfamiliar with it. Those that are provided with the key to the code, can begin to decode it. While those who deny the key, cannot, and, of course, thus conclude that there is no code, and it is all gibberish and nonsense. Despite the huge amount of experiential evidence - both anecdotal and scientific - to the contrary.
