A Simple Explanation of Religion

Abstract

When the Bible speaks of a person’s spirit, this refers to the Self’s Unit of Consciousness. This UC is “made in the image of God,” and is a replica of the spirit of God, or the Holy Spirit. As such, God’s Law is written on the heart of everything in creation. The problem with religion is that too often, ritualized memes have replaced personal communion with the Holy Spirit. Religious doctrine or dogma falls into the category of meme chords. Merely surrounding oneself with religious meme chords and performing works out of duty to the meme chords does not grant access to God.
