RELIGIOUS ENTITY
8105 Entity Part 5 – RELIGIOUS ENTITY
To say that man's contribution to ENTITY makes him part of god, and god himself, is definitive. To conceive of ENTITY as god is also true. Yet to ask whether there is more to ENTITY, and what lies beyond, is to pose a question which will remain unanswered. until the end of time; and that too may be viewed as god.
What we can say is that god and ENTITY are not religion. Both are the property only of the individual, and not of any physical, man-created, authority.
There are many ways of concentrating the presence of ENTITY so that it is effective. These may be individual, such as simply repeating a mantra to produce the trance like state that opens the mind. They may be corporate, sharing the strivings of other worshippers to initiate the breath of ENTITY. They may use physical devices, such as music or especially ecclesiastic architecture, to concentrate minds and to funnel ENTITY to members of the congregation.
ENTITY is part of man's daily life. However, attaining a resonance with it, so that it becomes integrated into your being, often requires a focus; and. that may be religion.
The worship of the unknown, and the willingness to develop new ideas as evidenced by an open mind or purity of spirit, are the gates to ENTITY. A living religion, which embodies the question of life, may be a guide; but it is no more than this.
It is equally true that any religion will, as a corporation, require administrators. Yet these should be viewed as the leeches who will suck dry the essence of the church, unless the body is kept alive, It is all too easy to erect a magnificent edifice, with great pomp and pageantry, which is in reality a paper shell with no inner strength. The individual cannot be replaced by the spider's web of religious bureaucracy.
The great religions of the world were all soundly based. They still contain many truths of ENTITY, and should offer entry into it. However, they are grown old and diseased, and it is now impossible to distinguish the cancerous growths of the centuries from the true religion. They worship all too often the most grotesque of these tumours, which were not present on the newborn religion.
Regeneration, though, is not impossible. It requires but one act; to ask the necessary questions. What are the basic beliefs, and what impedimenta must be discarded to allow these beliefs to emerge? The pure, regenerated, churches will be as vigorous as ever.
