It benefits the church to perpetuate the notion that we are separated and alienated from God.
It fuels the fear that drives the never ending race to overcome this alienation... either by mysticism, confession, repentance, prayer, devotion, or some other religious means.

What if we realized that even though we are individual, we are one... that separation and alienation are overcome, and that in fact there is no longer any separation, division, or alienation?
This illusion of separation begins in our minds, reinforced by unhealthy religion, and forms beliefs that areĀ perpetuated in our particular language.
It is only belief and language that project a separation that isn't real.
This is theĀ power of the church. It knows it and applies it to keep us on the run.
We, including the church, must reject this illusion.
