Ravings from beyond

Belief might be a bit of strong word to use here, but cannot think of a better one at the moment. My belief in coincidences happening for a reason, a universal energy that can be connected to, I like this concept, the belonging to some thing greater. I am not keen on the God Head concept of most of the standard western religions, the one creator. Carl Rogers did look at this later on in his life, is there part of the person that needs this feeling of belonging to some thing greater, I feel that the person centred approach to becoming a more fully functioning person, moving to a more internal locus of evaluation of ones experiences, thrusting in that internal evaluation and intuition is a way of opening one self up to the greater, what ever that may be or what one may wish to perceive it has, which is going to be different for every one I feel. Opposed to being burden down with the external evaluations of others and society, and not realizing what a great repressing weight this is, until shedding it like a snake disgarding its old out grown skin and the freedom this brings to experiencing the world once again, with all it temptations and for bidden fruits, the ball and chains of sin and guilt no longer dragging behind. The author of The Road Less Travelled, Dr M. Scott Peck a psychiatrist and psychotherapist said in one of his books somewhere, not sure which one, but I liked it “religion has made me living” refereeing to the amount of cases he has seen where religious conditions of worth, external evaluations and repression have sent people psychotic, sounds about right to me. Then may be religion is a form of psychoses it self?
