Parasitism And Spirituality
We can have hundreds of spiritual books but if we haven’t actually experienced the content it’s doubtful we have progressed spiritually. It’s similar to distant places. We can read about them, but unless we visit them we haven’t achieved very much. Attaining information for itself rarely makes us better people unless we put what we learn into action.
I was rambling on to myself about such things when absent mindedly I picked up a book I have mentioned previously in my post The Book And Suffragette Coincidence.
The book is called Natural Law In The Spiritual World and dates back to the 1880s. There is a signature inside dated July 24 1884.
The page I opened was in a chapter called Parasitism. I felt it linked me up to what I had been thinking:
“The hearer never really learns, he only listens. And while truth and knowledge seem to increase, life and character are left in arrear.
“Such truth, of course, and such knowledge, are a mere seeming. Having cost nothing, they come to nothing. The organism acquires a growing immobility, and finally exists in a state of entire intellectual helplessness and inertia.
“So the parasitic church member, the literal ‘adherent’, comes not merely to live only within the circle of ideas of his minister, but to be content that his minister has those ideas – like the literary parasite who fancies he knows everything because he has a good library.”
The chapter goes on to talk about someone who joins a church.
And it continues to say that:
There’s obviously much, much more but you’ll no doubt get the picture. The author talks about how nature provides for all our wants.
If it be replied that this is exactly what theology does, we answer it is exactly what it does not. It simply does what the greengrocer does when he arranges his apples and plums in his shop window … but he does not help me eat them.”
As that naff expression says: We have to walk the walk. We won’t get too far if we simply sit and watch others walk.
