    Killing the Buddha:
    This is a quote from a website. Although the rest of the article doesn't seem like the person writing is quite there. The talk about "religion" and "faith" is still clinging to the hope that there is something to believe in. There is nothing to believe in. Our beliefs are merely our creations. Our faith is hollow. The only thing you really know for absolutely positive is that you exist. The rest are fabrications.
    http://www.killingthebuddha.com/manifesto.htm
    The idea of "killing the Buddha" comes from a famous Zen line, the context of which is easy to imagine: After years on his cushion, a monk has what he believes is a breakthrough: a glimpse of nirvana, the Buddhamind, the big pay-off. Reporting the experience to his master, however, he is informed that what has happened is par for the course, nothing special, maybe even damaging to his pursuit. And then the master gives the student dismaying advice: If you meet the Buddha, he says, kill him.

    Why kill the Buddha? Because the Buddha you meet is not the true Buddha, but an expression of your longing. If this Buddha is not killed he will only stand in your way.

    Why Killing the Buddha ? For our purposes, killing the Buddha is a metaphor for moving past the complacency of belief, for struggling honestly with the idea of God.

    Never doubt there is Truth, just doubt that you have it!

    It is hard. It requires that you demolish all your fondly held beliefs. It requires that you acknowledge that there is no "loving" God. Big taboo! REALLY BIG. Everybody wants God to love them. It's comforting. But, it's not the reality. The Source knows no right or wrong. It just Is. No duality, no yin and yang, no need to be saved. Create love? Yes. But, it's a creation. It's not the ultimate truth. War and killing? Right or wrong? Neither. It's an experience. It, too, is a creation.

    Here, maybe this will help. But, you are going where angels fear to tread.

    I was reading that before. A good friend recommended it.

    The idea of Spiritual Autolysis frightened me.

    This relates back to what Tom said:
    "But what about when people explore their inner selves? Make journeys of self-discovery? Aren't they going within to find the truth?"

    "They're just exploring the ego, making a study of the false self, which is a lifequest as valid as any other. But you don't wake up by perfecting your dream character, you wake up by breaking free of it. There's no truth to the ego, so no degree of mastery over it results in anything true. Putting attention on the false self merely reinforces it." J. McKenna
