“It’s difficult to go directly from how we’re thinking now (our
everyday ego based reality) to the idea that it’s an illusion, a mere shadow of
the greater benign Reality behind it. A first step to moving toward the greater
benign Reality is to question what we take to be reality now, and to see our
so-called reality as arbitrary, as merely a set of subjective, capricious psycho/social
conventions.
“For example, is it true that a certain set of rituals is
more pleasing to God than another set; that the ‘chosen’ and ‘God-given’ set of
rituals will bring us a better life and keep us from hell; and that those who
do not follow the ‘chosen’ and ‘God-given’ rituals will not only be damned but
are our sworn enemies determined to convert and destroy us? It this really
God’s will, or a set of arbitrary cultural subjective, capricious psycho/social
conventions?
