Religious traditions and the Cromwellian bureaucrats and functionaries that manipulate them, in the time-weary marketplaces of deceit, exhaustively complicate the matter and turn the populations round and round on a wheel of confusion. They provide them with ritual, dogma, and cant, the dry husk of what might once have been a living thing. Anyone with any intelligence will eventually walk away. The generally incompetent that are incapable of original thought, while away the centuries spinning prayer wheels… bobbing their heads up and down while they murmur incantations which lost all meaning way back and long ago, or listen to mind-numbing sermons from men who dream of violating children.

God is a living thing! God is THE living thing, without which NOTHING else would be alive because God is the life in all things. God is the blood… the sap that runs through the tributary veins of humans… animals… trees and the like. God is deep asleep in The Mineral Kingdom, and… by degrees… more and more awake as he ascends the ladder of consciousness. God is always God wrapped in his own mystery and apart, BUT… also… very much in everything at the level it is existing on. God is the mirror reflection for whatever degree of comprehension anything is in possession of.

God is simplicity itself, while at the same time, giving birth to endless complexities of form. You have to trace the way back to what you emerged from so very long ago. You have to cut down the intricate systems of thought that exercise a stranglehold on your consciousness. Once again, this is the reason for the admonition to become as a little child.
