The world is a religion
You wouldn’t expect that sentence to make any sense, but I’ll attempt to make it so.
Instead of considering religion to be about morals and higher aspirations to what may be a better place, here I am only seeing it in terms of relationships. The world is one of many e.g. universes, conscious realms, heaven, nirvana [all are ‘worlds‘] and the like, there is a struggle to keep you in the world or for you to move to another. This may not be moral in all or most cases, instead we can think of the world as like a mother keeps her children by her side, a group of friends forms a group relationship and fights for that etc.
Whenever you leave a relationship there is a struggle, weather it is a move between persons or places. It becomes cyclic, usually a new place or person will be welcoming, where the old may try to keep hold of you even growing clams and becoming a threat to you. Here then I am thinking of the world as a religion, where its being demands allegiance and its mind denotes coincidence. We worship it in the vein hope it will give us what we want, we pray to it to give us our love and desires.
The world lends itself to ones persuasion
Your mind is at once like a camcorder and a projector, but the world as much as you, decides what’s n the film. I find it uncanny how it seams like images or entire films are placed in the mind, and then the world will bring objects and people into your life relevant to that.
It seams as if it is attempting to win your favour and/or to provide you with ‘promise’, the promise of better things, of treasures and desires of worldly worth. At times its as if it throws ideas in the mind at first relevant to your wants and desires, then if that doesn’t work it will throw things in there which are more extreme or even something that you wouldn’t want.
