Going Beyond - Freedom from Religious Hierarchy (Part 1 of 3)
By Tony Cuckson
In my homeplace of Corrogue there is hierarchy. There is the hierarchy of two becoming one. There is “little me” and the Divine. Two lovers needing each other. Two lovers needing and wanting each other beyond all else. The two becoming the experience of at-one-ment. There is the experience of "little me" coming home to a place I have never left and can never leave. This is the place of the lover.
Lovers mistrust the hierarchical. Lovers are their own authority. Lovers do not need clergy, gurus, priests, churches, and temples in order to go beyond. Lovers only need life and the life of abundance. Lovers do not need belief. Belief, for the lover, is a prison. Lovers only desire to know the Beloved. Their longing is to be love. What to believe when you know you are love?
Hierarchy by its very nature is dogmatic and orthodox. Within hierarchy there are strata and there is the strategic. Hierarchy clings to the word and to the accepted creed. It is a fixed thing. Hierarchy abhors change. By its very nature it cannot flow. It is often over burdened by the law – the word. With hierarchy is the law and usually this law becomes the one way. This is what I call, “the institutional mind.” This institutional mind smothers the very thing it professes to love.
For many people the embrace of the hierarchical is a safe bet. It means you are not required to authorise your own knowing. You are not required to know the beauty of the eternal as a living experience. You can deny your uniqueness. You can give over the responsibility for your soul to another.
The institutional mind does not invite wisdom. Wisdom embraces metaphor, poetry and paradox. The institutional mind cannot contain paradox. Paradox is illogical. Paradox is heart centred. Fact and the literal is all that the institutional mind can allow. The institutional mind does not embrace the poet, the lover, the dancer and especially not the feminine. At least not for long. The institutional mind loves the fixed. It loves that which can be contained.
Hierarchy makes the lover’s heart ache for that which is higher. The holy longing gets quashed amidst all the words, all the ritual that becomes repetitious rather than joyous. Ritual becomes not a place of threshold but a key that locks that very door of threshold. The door to beyond is locked because hierarchy and the institutional mind lies to you. It tells you the Divine is beyond you. It tells you that life has meaning only beyond the threshold of death. It promises you a future it does not know. It promises you something that only the lover can know – the one courageous enough to go naked and alone into a place of unknowing.
