I think we need to talk about religion. Can you feel what is happening in this “area” of the map of the territory? While many would like to throw the whole “subject” of religion in the trash bin of forgotten history, the “concept” and “meaning” and “purpose” and “appearance” and….of religion is Integral to the human condition.
Ken Wilber wrote a really good book entitled ‘The Marriage of Sense and Soul; Integrating Science and Religion.” He called this endeavor the challenge of our lifetime. I remember purchasing the book when It first came out in 1998. I had been reading several of Wilber’s books and applying the “system and perspective” of his emerging theory of everything (TOE) called Integral Theory.
The seed level meaning of the word “religion” equates to a system and procedures in which one BINDS one self to live by. Many religions refer to scripture to support their under standing of our existence.
What BINDS you? What are you certain of? How do you view faith? Do you see faith as something woo-woo are do you see it as a “faculty” available within our “body/mind” which can be accessed and explored and developed?
“The world” will soon be presented with a “One Religion Option.” This should be interesting.
Wilber starts his book with a quote from Oscar Wilde….”There is nothing that will cure the senses but the soul, and nothing that will cure the soul but the senses.”
