Above all things, Connectedness with the Self

Our minds, from a young age, are trained to give authority to the “outside.” When one’s nature turns religous or spiritual, so many new people and things arise to seize the outer authority role: gurus, priests, leaders, books, Gods to pray to, Mantras to recite. The best of these direct us back to ourselves, over and over. They remind us that it is our notion of lack, our constant searching, and our giving away of self-authority to the “without” that keeps us from the treasures “within.” Religion is not words, leaders, and books – It is our own very personal moment-by-moment truth given spontaneously from within. It is found in self-listening, which deepens into a true knowledge-experience of God within.
