Default Born Again (On the far side of the needle eye)

The pulpit (puppet) master was wielding his wand filled with guilt accusations insisting that I am lost to the eternal dungeon of the devil unless I accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior. My logical rational self escaped that hypnotic trance induced by stirring my emotions with guilt just as the tear that welled up in my left eye arrived at the corner of my mouth. I was intrigued that I had allowed myself to be hypnotized and relived that I escaped the hypnotic trance induced by accusations of unworthiness. The afore mentioned incident happened on some Sunday morning in a church pew when I was about 35 years old. My rational self saved me from the abyss of ignorance and deceit. Now that I am free of religious baggage and have moved onto higher plateaus comfort has warmed over me. I have passed through the eye of the needle and have compassion for those that choose to remain in the quagmire of deceit.
