Mindfulness Mondays 46: Don’t turn gods into demons
April 12, 2010 by dr. lam
This expression means not to turn holy scripture, holy thinking, holy living into a holier than though mentality. This means not to allow these blogs to be a way for you to continue in a course of self absorption, superiority, and aloofness. Instead, we should see these blogs as ways that we can live more openly, with less judgment, with less “I am a religious person and you are not…”. ”I am a good person and you fall short.” ”I read about self-improvement and you don’t.” All of these thoughts create barriers between humans and artificial walls that undermine the reason and purpose of these blogs. This week focus on not turning gods into demons.
