Worship?

[Sacred Fool]

A person seeking self-assurance and self-protection I doubt would then be open enough to transcend it just because they engage in worship. Would they not just reap what they are seeking?

Are we not all multi-layered beings seeking assurance and protection as well as growth.  The difference, it seems to me, is in how these are proportioned per each individual.  My point was that dismissiveness towards religion which ends up discarding a genuine exploration of the value of worship is a markedly inefficient use of catalyst, in my view.

Perhaps just the nature of a one-pointed focus, which is sometimes used in meditation, will allow a person to go beyond their constructed boundaries accessing a wider vista of experience, but, to perhaps disgustingly exaggerate, what if that one-pointed focus was white supremacy? Coming from a person whose paradigm is bounded by dogma of any kind, how then is that person able to open up to what lies beyond it?

You enjoy your thought experiments and I will seek Self elsewhere.
