Corrupted religion by cultural co-optation

The liberating freedom of religion’s spirituality is caged by the overlay of cultural theologies, whether Christianity, Buddhist, Hindu, Tao, Judaism, or Islam. I will use Christianity as the template for the ubiquitous flaws and fallacies also in the other religions

I perceive Christianity as a measure to accept the inherent socially constructed roles of flawed and fallible people by a contrived redemptive gesture and posturing for one’s own sake, and also the enabling of indulgences for a false peace of tranquility with others-ala 'unconditional love'. On top of that, the inserting of temporally-oriented, provincial social traditions as a faithful observance of the authorized religious doctrines.

Those doctrines and practices undermine and confine the individual conscience of conscientious thoughts and expressions. With that, the relative and absolute relationship for a marker of spirituality or their own spiritual expression is prostituted and bastardized for accommodating, adapting, and coping with the day-to-day cognitive field constructed by the contemporaneous cultural dynamics.

Without liberation of conscience, there is only license, and that’s NOT freedom. Religions control people by domesticating them to the carrot and stick existential extortion of either secular sanctions or the blessing/damning of their carnal or ‘after-life’ of being....

More than a Cultural

Wallet/ATM-Enabling Codependent

As much a treatise on the ‘taken-for-granted’ presumptuousness of cultural psychology of their ‘required’ roles on a macro level than the micro-exploitation on the individual level. Folks operate on this in auto-mode expectation that their consumption is an entitlement of specie-status/class-gender-or-legal standing. As a consequence, both the ‘obliged’ and the ‘expectants’ exist in a pre-choreographed program of conditioned behavior in the cultural/social colloidally structured systems

J.J. Rousseau’s maxim, “Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains. One thinks himself the master of others, and still remains a greater slave than they.", rings true today as much as it did 240 years ago.

Just as Br’er Rabbit encountered with the tar baby, so we have adhered ourselves to this operative fallacy in our social human relations.

Admonitions about this entrapment have been similarly written [though for other ends]. In chapter 18 verse 47 of the Bhagavad-gita, it’s noted,

“It is better to do one's imperfect and humble dharma, even than to do [or be the servant of] an other's dharma, even though perfectly. By doing one's innate duties, a person does not incur sin”.

----------------------------------------------------------
In the 27th Discourse if the Futuh al-Ghaib it states, “(May God be pleased with him) sad:
"Regard good and evil as two fruits coming out from two branches of a tree. One of the two branches yields sweet fruit and the other is bitter. So you Leave cities and..[other] parts of countries from where fruits are plucked from this tree and sent: and keep away from them and their people. Approach the tree itself and become its guard attendant-servant, and acquire knowledge of these two branches and of the two fruits and their neighborhoods, and remain near the branch which yields sweet fruit Then, it will be your and your source of strength, and beware lest you should approach the other branch and eat the fruit of, lest its bitterness should kill you. When you persist in this attitude you will be in case and security and safety from all troubles and all kinds of calamities are born of this bitter fruit.

When you are away from this tree and wander about in countries and these fruits are brought before you and are mixed up in a manner that the sweet cannot be distinguished from the bitter and you start eating them, your hand may fall on the bitter and you may put it in your mouth and eat a part of it chew it so that its bitterness goes to your palate; and then to your throat and further your brain and nostrils spreads its effect you as far as your veins and the organs of your body and you are thus killed…."
------------------------------------------------------------------

Both in the ‘Gita’ and the ‘al-Ghaib’ the warnings and admonitions to prevent one from being ensnared by fallacious notions that draw your association and consumption to them from the ambiguities of imperfection in our temporal existence. Those ethical and moral ambiguities from the emotional pressures and extortion of cultural ways and your social interaction dynamics lead you ignorantly into being the cuckold in the social saga of being a complicit and enabling codependent.
