33: Collective Thoughts and Prayer


Collective Thoughts and Prayer

collective thoughts and prayers 

are currently echoing around me 

the energy it brings to the groupthink

seems to overcome

one’s ability

to think critically.  

But even a knowledgable and reflective person,

like Jung or Rogers, believed

in the necessity of a holy venture,

otherwise a person is led into

A crisis of existential proportions.  

But the seeking of collective bias by attending and believing

what we are taught, en masse, 

is inherently unintellectual, lacks reflection, and shows 

no call to legitimate action.

Only a faux offering of assistance. 

The assistance is codependence and preferential for 

mutual survival of the cult of personality. 

Therefore:

as long as the poor and downtrodden, 

stay poor and downtrodden, 

the church has its role.

And once the poor and downtrodden 

find a way out of this perpetual incarceration 

the need for organized religion, 

as an institution, 

may crumble into pieces.
