I wish I had this years ago! For so many years, I thought something was wrong with me, that my effort wasn’t enough. Since leaving behind some of these—in my opinion, harmful—doctrines, I have found a spirituality in the experience of being human, right here, in this moment, marveling in awe of this experience we get to have. I’ve found a freedom I never had before.
Thanks for having the courage to write things like this for the quiet ones.
This is super well said, well researched, and so very necessary. Thank you for saying the things that need to be said! “Detoxing” is exactly the right word for what the journey of leaving fundamentalism feels like.

Years ago me and probably you would not have had the capacity to consider a different way. We would have dismissed it - like so many still do.

Thanks Emily. Feels a bit like hacking through a thick bush at times. But a bit of light eventually breaks through. 🙏🏼
