Idolatry of the Translated Forms

by Fait Muedini

When speaking of idols, the author is not referring merely to the 'traditional' interpretation of worshipping physical stone, but rather to any mental constructions separating the self from The Eternal Self (God). Influenced greatly by mystical thought in Islam (Sufism), other religious teachings such as messages in The Upanishads, and Kabbalah, and the works of writers and speakers including Alan Watts, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Sri Ramana Maharshi, Mary Oliver, among others, Muedini advocates for clearing human conceptions of God and the limitations and rigid dogmas that can be found at times within religions. He urges us to dismiss ideas of this or that, hierarchies of place, and challenges the restrictions imposed by language, all of which are barriers to awakening, or enlightenment. Through his poetry, Muedini calls for rejecting any ideas of separation; instead, he speaks of embracing the wonders and love of the everyday, and, through these writings, illustrates verbally the Oneness and Beauty of The Ultimate Reality.
