Christ on a Crutch! Religiosity + Desires of the Heart

Welcome. Today’s exploration is about spiritual freedom, storytelling, and finding truth within oneself. The journey of understanding one's own spirituality can be both challenging and empowering, as we unravel what religiosity means and the boundaries that it sometimes crosses. Religiosity often brings with it the imposition of belief systems. What boundaries are crossed when one insists their spiritual path is the only way? Empowered choice is our birthright, but others' belief impositions cloud our heart’s deity. Herein lies the essence of volition, or the power of using our will, in spiritual journeys. When trusted figures, such as a therapist, bypass personal agency, it reflects a broader sickness of spiritual colonization. This is important to name and challenge respectfully. Comments and open dialogue from this tender place are welcome. May this invocation bring you peace, nurtured by the divine force residing within each of our hearts. Much love to all. ------If our Wild Temple podcast resonates with you... please follow, leave a comment on your listening platform, or share it with others who may benefit.
