I have been struggling with religious beliefs most of my life, and I believe that these religious beliefs have been entangled with trauma in my family from previous generations, trapping our lives in a never-ending cycle of tension that constrains the need to improve our material and non-material quality of life.
I would love to blame the ones at the top of the religious hierarchy for coming up with all these toxic ideas, but it won’t solve the problem, and the damage has been done.
I feel that I’ve given up lot of opportunities in my life because of religion, and yet, there are still some (not all) things about my religion that I believe are true.
Perhaps Revelation of Spirit might help me in reconciling this mess.
