Finding God Beyond Religion's Protective Filter

We explore the tension between organized religion as a protective filter and as a potential barrier to direct divine encounter. • Examining Carl Jung's quote that "formalized religion protects people against a direct experience of God"• Unpacking Moses' request to see God's glory in Exodus 33• Understanding that God shows Moses His back but not His face—protection from what humans cannot handle• Becoming "nose blind" to the presence of God when we're immersed in it daily• Recognizing our own flaws and limitations, just as Moses had anger issues that kept him from the promised land• Sharing personal weekend challenges that revealed God's protection even amid frustration• Noticing divine patterns that shift our perspective from complaints to gratitude#wofoyo            https://wofoyo.org/
