We have no idea yet of the positive contribution that could be made to us individually and socially by a more soulful religion and theology. Our culture is in need of theological reflection that does not advocate a particular tradition, but tends the soul’s need for spiritual direction.
— Thomas Moore, Spiritual Practice and Psychological Depth

What is this new religion?

The Disco Liberation Movement is a new religion of freedom and peace. Through sustained practice, inquiry, and self-reflection it is possible to arrive at inner peace. It is possible to gain freedom from the yoke of misapprehension keeping us stuck in postures of servitude to unenlightened cultural imperatives and the “ten thousand things.”

The word “religion” means the inner spiritual connection that occurs between the transpersonal other and the “I” self we usually call the ego during states of consciousness specially cultivated through various techniques for this purpose. Religion is thus a private matter between each individual and their inwardly felt, personally known god image. There are as many god images as there are beings in all the worlds! The common characteristic of the inner god image is that it calls upon the “I” self to grow in consciousness and realize its essential being—that “I” and god are not two separate things.

Many people have a negative reaction to the word “religion” as it conjures up all sorts of painful ideas. However, as countless scholars and mystics have indicated over many millennia of psychospiritual study and practice, the human psyche is inherently rooted in a transpersonal dimension and no amount of intellectualizing is ever going to change that. This is why when overt ritualized religious practices are suppressed or devalued, the religious attitude is enacted through secular affairs such as politics, economics, science, or sports.

In any case, this website features weekly sermons that explore the many ways in which an individual psyche seeks experiences of self-recognition.
