Zastrakoza, That's actually wrong. It exists today.
Fear, involving the, "survival instinct".
Involving, the organic.

It's why alot of people go to church, and especially involving cults.

RabbiO, I apologize. I do not mean to be disrespectful. But I cannot say I represent Christianity. My thoughts are my own.

Blessings,

I'm not sure what you are objecting to, Morpheus. The law was established to judge the people. And it was enforced by punishments.

The law very much appealed to the ego, because it allowed a measurement where piousness and worth could be judged by humans. If I followed the law perfectly, I was worthy of the blessings of God. If I didn't, then I was worthy of condemnation (and stoning).

I am not saying there is no value in the law. I am saying the law was a training tool where we learned what holiness was not. The law is true and just, but in the hands of men, became a prison. And we still are trying to live by it, even though we have been introduced to a better way to judge.

Zastrakoza,

Yes….I like that very much. We understand prison as a place that denies our freedom. When one is told that he cannot do something he realizes that the freedom to do that has been taken away. It can become a normal response to rebel against that. A simple example are the imposition of drinking age laws. Where there are no such laws people are left to conclude, using their freedom, whether drinking is beneficial. Which is best ?
