Lately, my mind has flung me back towards polytheism. This is not a bad thing unto itself. Nothing wrong, right? Not exactly. I had asked several of you about how to deeply engage with religion (in general), with @Vinayaka (bless his heart and soul) suggesting something to the effect of “DJ, stop thinking about it.”
@Quintessence had also, I think, driven home the point that religion is meant to be engaged with, practiced, not merely thought about or believed in.
Their words of advice remind me of a quote from Bruce Lee which says,
“Life is meant to be lived, not conceptualized.”
This makes it abundantly clear to me that maybe I've been trapped in the thinking, the believing, regarding religion rather than the doing, the practicing. This must change. I would like to re-orient my religious life around engaging in practices instead of beliefs, but I don't know how.
My question for all of you who may be reading this is:
What sorts of practices do you engage in for your own religion?
