IF YOU WANT TO LOSE YOUR FAITH

"If you want to lose your FAITH, make friends with the Priest" is one of the ancient sayings or aphorisms that Gurdjieff mentions in his book of 'MEETINGS' and I can attest that,if you make friends with the priest(or rabbi,iman,minister, lama, preacher,etc.,etc.) you will lose your 'faith' whatever it is,especially as time goes by and any real understanding of life arrives at your feet or enters your mind, let alone you heart! BUT, this should not deter anyone from trying to be friends with such 'exalted' personages,who well may be very sincere, educated, charitable, kind, and humorous, and so forth, but it may turn out to be the exact result of your friendship that leads to a complete loss of faith as you enter, 'THE DARK NIGHT OF THE SOUL'.
