Reading (and crying) while reading an article from 2011 about “Religious Trauma Syndrome.” I started deconstructing and formally left Catholicism in 2022. It starts with learning and education.

But now comes the emotional part. I feel lonely and like a kid because I don’t have the coping skills to deal with big emotions like fear.

I prefer an approach to spirituality that is based in both gnosis and high-level critical thinking and analogue insight—not fear-based superstition. You’ll find all that in Book 2 of THE GRAND ILLUSION (and some snippets on my Subst@ck).

Leave a 📕 if you'd like to be first to know when it's available.

Gross, I got tricked into clicking a headline from #CBN about the #TargetPride drama. I threw up in my soul a little 🤢
