step away from dogma

you don't need a guru.
no priest can help you.
the faith
the spirit
that you are looking for exists within.

it has always been there.
it is your happiness.
concentrate there.
don't let the churches
speak for you.
be your own freedom
of knowing right
from
wrong.

you are your own source of charity.
give freely if you can
in whatever way you can
give.

be the source of your own holiness,
do not rely upon others
for the teachings
you already know.

be the force that drives
the temple forward.

be your own insight.

be the dream you've always
dreamed of. be your own ritual,
your own sanctimony.

be the god staring through your
own eyes.
