The Tyranny of Faith - 4sep21



Faith begins

innocently enough

with an idea.


It spreads to the emotions

that we feel about that idea.


And like a sprout

growing into an oak,

these ideas and feelings

grow very rigid


as do our desires to protect them

as well as procreate them.


Until like Chancellor Palpatine

spitting at Anakin Skywalker,

“Do it!”


we too are dictating to others

what they must think, and feel,

and say, and do.


Let us set down this dangerous tool of faith

and instead flow wisely, lovingly, and gently;

like the sages we were born to be.





Let us conclude

with a simple

call to action


In the Tibetan tradition Lamas are supported

not by monasteries but by students

as such the production of these livestreams,

blogs, and class materials is supported

by the generosity of viewers, and listeners, and readers

just like you.
