As with Anna Nicole Smith, the speculation is that Michael Jackson died of a lethal cocktail a muscle relaxant Soma, a sedative called Xanax and anti-depressant Zoloft, an anxiety drug Paxil, the painkiller Dilaudid, and another powerful painkiller named Demerol. Who thinks up these things? And, did they combine to kill Michael Jackson? I have a more serious question though.
Is the lethal combination of organized religion and human ego killing the church?
The ego is basically born and developed out of the soul’s perceived separation from God. It’s an illusion that the ego promotes for its own survival. Look at how long Christianity has swallowed the tale that we were kicked out of the garden, separated from God, not worthy of God’s love, and so on ad nauseum.
I love the way Kim Michaels put it, “The compulsive need to maintain the infallibility of one’s religion gives rise to an insatiable desire to control everything in order to destroy all threats to one’s illusion. The result is the desire to convert all other people to the one true religion and to destroy other religions. This often leads to the belief that it is better for nonbelievers to die than to stay in a false religion that will send them to hell.”
So, “in the name of God“, Catholicism-Christianity has killed millions (remember the Crusades?).
We’re far more civilized than they who lived centuries ago. Now we just ostracize people, put labels on people such as cult, new age, deceived, and heretics. Because the modus operandi of the ego is to maintain the fact that it is never wrong, breaking free from such fundamental, absolute, literal, and infallible paradigms is near impossible.
But, as one looks back over history you can see the occasional LEAPS in consciousness, the enlightened moments, the renaissances, and the axial age phenomena. We are now THERE and we have been for about two decades now. For those who are dying to their egoic demands, it can be FELT. As I wrote this, goose-bumps briefly appeared. I know! I AM…………we ARE.
Many are breaking FREE of the lethal cocktail of the human ego and the institutional church hierarchy!
R U?
Been there….have done that…..
Yes I AM
