how to lose the church without losing your soul

1. realize that your soul is independent of the church… in it but not of it;
2. know that that the church was only meant to assist your journey, not initiate, endorse or authenticate it;
3. find others you connect with outside the church, christian or not, for life-giving relationships;
4. allow yourself time to learn how to breathe without the use of the apparatus (the church);
5. do not accept the inevitable corrections and condemnations you will receive from well-intentioned but seriously mistaken people;
6. separate yourself from the haters. You aren’t required to fellowship with them any longer;
7. you will need to deprogram the inner voice that tells you that you’ve made a big mistake;
8. nourish your inner life (soul) with what always has but you were afraid to admit it (with new age music, incense, native spirituality, Buddhism, sex outdoors… whatever);
9. the hardest part if you haven’t already: meditate until your life is transformed by the renewing of your mind. It is possible and necessary!
10. learn how to laugh from the heart again. Find joy.
