“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. ”
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—to be freed from the cyclical yoke of misapprehension that binds us to patterns of servitude, whether to unexamined personal beliefs, cultural imperatives, or the “ten thousand things.”
The word religion refers here to an inner spiritual connection between the transpersonal Other and the “I” we ordinarily identify as the ego. This connection emerges in states of consciousness cultivated through specific disciplines and techniques designed for that purpose.
In this sense, religion is a private matter between each individual and their inwardly felt, personally known God-image. There are as many such images as there are beings in all the worlds. Yet they share a common demand: that the “I” grow into the full stature of its essential nature, and in doing so, realize that self and God are not ultimately separate.
For many, the word religion evokes resistance, recalling painful experiences or oppressive associations. Yet, as generations of mystics and scholars have observed, the human psyche is intrinsically rooted in the transpersonal dimension, and no degree of rationalization can undo this fact. Without an appropriately nurturing religious outlet, the religious impulse often finds violent expression in secular forms—politics, economics, science, even sport.
This website offers weekly sermons exploring the many ways the individual psyche seeks moments of religious recognition. In addition, each week I also supply a music mix aimed at expressing the same dynamics but through aural vibrations and sound. The sermon and the mix go together as a unit and are meant to be weekly conveyors for your soul’s travels through this beautiful dream we call life.
May we all carry our souls lightly, with joy, beauty, and profound respect.
