Unlike a book that somebody wrote and told us they got from God, our minds are the one thing we have that we know is from God without anybody having to tell us. The problem is that for many of us our minds have been programmed by the same cats who gave us the book. So one of our biggest struggles when we free ourselves from some religious doctrine is determining wich thoughts, feelings and beliefs are really ours and which ones are part of our programming. Below is a list of ten things which I have found to be part of the way my mind was programmed by religion. This list isn't meant to be exhaustive but is meant to be a spring board from which you can start thinking.
To detox my mind means:
1. Not being intimidated by the beliefs of others
2. Not judging myself according to my thought drifts
3. Not engaging my mind in negative introspection and self-recrimination
4. Letting go of the need for everyone to believe what I believe in the way I believe it
5. Not looking for God in a book or building or the northeast corner of the ceiling
6. Not being afraid to read any book
7. Looking inward for thhe answers
8. Letting go of the idea that God hates it when I am too happy or successful
9. Realizing that as a creature of the Creator when I honor myself and do well in life I AM honoring him/her and bringing glory to the ALL
10. Learning to learn who God is from everything that is because God is everything
