Worship?

[Sacred Fool]

Thanks for posting the video, Diana.  That discussion is different from what I was trying to express, however, it calls to mind the chorus of a song by Robert Burns.

A fig for those by law protected,
    Liberty's a glorious feast.
Courts for cowards were erected,
    Churches built to please the priest.



I'll try to put my thoughts in the context of a Q'uo quote from the reading done for myself.

In orienting you and those like you to the actual situation, we would ask each to move back in perspective until there is a broadness that takes in all of the third-density pattern. A pattern involves a choice of how to be and how to serve. In third density, the path to graduation involves a simple choice followed by a series of congruent choices which progressively tune the spirit under such discipline to the point where that spirit is able to surrender to love.  The difficulty is in releasing all of the intelligence and knowledge that is so proudly carried and so skillfully used in the outer manifestations of life on planet Earth.

So, if you accept the proposition that the training for graduation into 4D entails a complete surrender to love, then consider that genuine worship is actually an experience of surrendering to love.  It may be more or less skillful, efficacious or complete,  but it can be excellent training--FOR THOSE WHO RESPOND TO IT, and not all do--for that commitment to "tune the spirit" so as to be happy...happy beyond all measure...to surrender to love.  This is kind of what I've been trying to say.  It's on this level that I meant that personal gripes about how screwy religion or other humanoid fabrications might be are irrelevant.  On this level, priorities rearrange themselves in favour of love alone because the payoff is so fantastic.  And deep experiences of worship can lead one in this direction, in my experience.
