Wayne Dyer died this weekend. I don’t know a lot about him. One of his quotes that caught my attention is:
Quote:“My beliefs are that the truth is a truth until you organize it, and then becomes a lie. I don’t think that Jesus was teaching Christianity, Jesus was teaching kindness, love, concern, and peace. What I tell people is don’t be Christian, be Christ-like. Don’t be Buddhist, be Buddha-like. Religion is orthodoxy, rules and historical scriptures maintained by people over long periods of time. Generally people are raised to obey the customs and practices of that religion without question. These are customs and expectations from outside the person and do not fit my definition of spiritual.”
It makes sense to me.
Excellent quote and very wise advice! This is a person who gets it. It sounds like the same message as the buddhist quote…
Quote:If you find meet Buddha on the road, kill him!
I like the quote. I might soften it a little: My beliefs are that the truth is a truth until you organize it, and then the organization becomes a distraction.
