This is actually the first part of the 9 part mini-series known as "The Embrace That Smothers". The definition from leaden is dull, heavy, listless and cumbersome So, if the prologue definition is mea culpa which means my sorry. Well, one of the tenets of western religion is effacemen and deferrence to a higher power. However, its system of belief that we're merely vessels to reach a higher existance upon death. We curtail our growth as individual to extent that we can't self-actualized. Religion embraced willingly at the height of awareness is the greatest gift. It surrender oneself when one understand what one sacirfices to embrace a religion. Instead, we follow the tenets that dictate obidence without understanding. Fear rather than reverence. A set of rules that was commenced 2 millenia ago, about god's son that died to forgive our sins. I told to celibrate this embodiment, but how can I show empathy through your version. I need to find a reason on my own turns, my own way. However, earthbound leaders reply that there is only one way to follow religion, and one's self-identity is lost. However, to follow a cult or no relgion at all, will lead to nowhere because indoctrination and repression lead to hollowness and dissatification through a lack of a intrinsic spritual awareness(if not brainwashing).

Fear of penace(self induced conditioning to prevent disapproval) Doomed to sycophancy(personal failure to obtain insight as to lead the individual to a shallow understanding. Her prayers are empty fearing a bleak afterlife bereft of solemnity).

Unlike Cry for the moon which is a institional take, this is where an individual must find his way, and not follow blindly, because of proscribed reasons.
