False God Attachment

There are many false gods out there that are used as an idol which keeps you in a self created prison, and although it may appear that the false god creates the prison, the prison is to “I” that attaches to the idol…

There are many traps that create a prison in the world. To me, this is where this gets tricky because anything that is made into a story and is attached to is a false god because it becomes a prison to the one who is attached to the story. God is made into an idol by most people and becomes a prison although most don’t see this. Just look at the different religions and how all the followers of a particular one think their God is the right one. Many of these religions have beautiful teachings, but in the way they’re attached to it actually takes away from them. This isn’t to say there isn’t value in them, but there’s never value in attaching to something because it enforces an I am right and you are wrong idol.

I found this false god attachment happening to me yesterday, someone didn’t agree with my article so right away I felt I had to defend it. I always have to look at myself so I can identify what form my false god is taking on. I’m not saying there is or isn’t a God, this is just to show how attachment to anything becomes a prison a blocks the heart from remaining open to allow everything its freedom. False gods take over when they get control of “I” as “I” becomes your god. I am right is a god as is anything that’s reached for. The world presents many false gods disguised as attachment, until this is identified, the god of “I” will remain and so will your suffering…
