Would EVERYONE please read this sentence three times, think about what it means, and then apply it to their own lives? If you do not know the meaning of the word " dogma " , please look it up right now. Dogma is a prison from which it is important to escape, but one can only do it oneself. If one gets too caught up in the form of a religious practice, one will miss the point of it completely. That is akin to missing the picture because one is so obsessed with the frame. All religions, all teachings, point us towards BEING. Why? Because that is their source. And that is OUR source. It is what we ARE. One cannot be reminded of this fact too much. As long as one thinks in terms of " I " and " Thou " , one needs reminding, until the " reminding " is replaced with " realization " . It's all about consciousness...
