So does a man

Have many words

Be not persuaded!

~

Once preaching ceases

Silence persists

Religious Instruction

Hinders Truth

Truth can only be Self-taught (ie learnt only from Self/God). To this end, only your own heart can lead the way since you listen to God only through the heart. To not follow your own heart and instead follow others (for whatever reason) only hinders your own understanding of [the] Truth.

The creator of religion

Is the mind.

~

Exempt from religion

Are we are at birth

Exempt too shall we be at death.

~

Blasphemy is recognized

Only through its appeal.

Blasphemy is only recognized by those who also want to blaspheme but who hold themselves back from this type of self-liberation (expression). It is for this reason that those that blaspheme, curse each their own inventions of God - calling It by a name. Those for which blasphemy has no appeal wouldn't recognize it when another blasphemes.

~

To the prophets of this world

Preach not!

For God sends no prophet

But Screams

The Universes are but one big resonating Scream from God. Listen to that - and not to the preacher!

Religion is a crutch

Instead of taking on spiritual responsibility and standing alone (as Self/God), firmly on their own two feet, religious folk hobble along. This is anyway fine for now for them, since they are only resting - somewhere along the line they'll drop their crutch and return to Self/God.
