Religion, "Religare" meaning to re-bind, is to awaken us to our true selves and re-bind with what we lost when we grew out of innocence - our divinity.
We need to learn the practice of disconnecting with our compulsive thoughts and obsessive feelings, our false self.
The false self or the separate self, disconnected from Divine Love—is simply a substitute for our deepest truth. It is a useful and even needed part of ourselves, but it is not all of us; the danger is when we think we are only our separate self. Our attachment to the false self must "die" to allow the True Self—our basic and unchangeable identity in God—to live fully and freely.
Colossians 3:3 "For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God."
