Comment on YSK: Israel is ethnically cleansing Lebanon
RedMari@reddthat.com 3 weeks agoAll forms of centralized hierarchical power are bad: capitalism, nation-state, and organized religion. Nothing wrong with decentralized, liberating spiritual beliefs.

But those do not include organized religions that have holy books written about ancient hallucinations.
Spiritualism is fine (generally) but it can still lead to delusional thinking. As in, verifiably false conclusions.

It’s possible to believe in monotheist religion and scripture without supporting the centralized oppressive organization that exploits them.

A Sufi Hymn to Awareness
Neither subject nor object, neither seer nor seen Awareness is a flame which glows into itself
For those who have the eyes, for those who wish to see It opens its heart and shows into itself
Neither here nor there, its home is nowhere Like a wind it blows and blows into itself
Beginning with a drop in each moment of Creation It soon becomes a river that flows into itself
From where does it come and to where does it go? Like a breath it comes and goes into itself
To nothing does it submit, 'cause nothing’s other than it To itself it bows, as it bows to itself
