Hi!
Am not really here to chat about the main thread topic, but was interested in what you just said (quoted above)...
I think this is so true, especially when it comes to ANY belief system, be it spiritual approach, or religious, or political, or anything else for that matter!)..
I tried to explain this on one of my other posts somewhere... we humans often get so 'fixed'/attached to our beliefs and ideas of what is "right" or "the answer" or the "way" (sometimes without even realising it)... and thus we rarely remain TRULY open to the moment.. to opening up/exploring/changing our minds.. once we've taken on board/grown attached to/'found' a particular belief/set of beliefs that makes sense or 'worked' for us at a given time.
strange.. given so many people feel "open" or "enlightened" or "aware" in so many ways.. that we can all also be somehow so totally 'closed' about changing/re-considering, even challenging our own views/opinions/beliefs!
how many of us truly remain open to re-approaching/re-examining/questioning our own views/conclusions/beliefs... on a regular basis? I went through this process personally, with the whole "co-creation" idea several years ago.. and was quite amazed to find my some of my old firmly-held spiritual/life beliefs had fallen away .. after many many years of stubbornly holding onto an idea that made so much sense to me at the time... it felt like a sort of release/relief in some ways..
.. like I'd shed another layer of my own spiritual onion!!
Amazing really.. what a quite stubborn/inflexible bunch we are here on Earth, in many ways!
