Many clergy have not figured this out for themselves, since even ministry can be a career decision or an attraction to "religion" more than the result of an encounter with God or themselves. Formal religious status can maintain the false self rather effectively, especially if there are a lot of social payoffs like special respect, titles, salaries, a good self image, or nice costumes. It is no accident that the religious "Pharisees" became the symbolic bad guys in the Jesus story.” IfsSelfStoriesTodayGuyJesusSocialReligiousDecisionResultsCareersNiceSpecialAccidentsAttractionTitlesEncountersMinistryFormalCostumesBad GuysSalarySymbolicClergyPayoffPharisees Book:Immortal Diamond: The search for our true self Source: Immortal Diamond: The search for our true self
