Today's revelation:
I came upon, and I believe this is a scripture, but I'm not entirely certain. It was something I remember growing up with in my religious home, when it was taught to me as something that Jesus said. "Give up your wordily possessions and follow me."
Of course, the way it was taught to me made it a little difficult to do. Unless I wanted to join a monastary, which I've never felt a calling to do (except on alternate Thursdays).
But today, as I was lying in bed, I began to think of the word "possessions" differently. What if it was not referring to the things which we possess, but the things which possess us. Those things I would gladly give up, because I want to be a free mind. Which of course got me thinking, what if Jesus's "me" wasn't himself, but the free "Me" of each individual. So instead of meaning "Give up all your worldly goods and services and do not partake in the riches that life has to offer so that you can sacrifice all these illusions of being and focus on the true spiritual reality of the Messiah", he was saying "Free your body and mind from the worldly dominations, those things that control your life and prevent you from knowing who you really are."
