Religions are just maps of the universe and our mortal experience of it. Is a map true? Yes and no. Do you believe in a particular map? Yes and no. It is a just map, limited in it& #39;s fidelity.
The true spiritual experience cannot occur INSIDE the map. A religion is a tool for evaluating the experience, but the experience itself happens beyond a religion& #39;s limitations.
If you have become dogmatic to the tenets of the religion, in some sense you have become captive to the limitations of that map, unable to venture beyond it& #39;s border.
Maps of reality are often confused for the territory but it& #39;s particularly dangerous and limiting in the context of spiritual experience...which ultimately is boundless, literally, as the cosmos itself.
...because a true spiritual experience is an experience of boundless totality.
