The idea that all spiritual practice is arbitrary rules fueled only by the beliefs of the practitioners helps me more in my practical life than spiritually. When you really stop to look at it, so many stressors are just internalized arbitrary rules. I can run a race and choose what place I want to be in, I don’t have to choose first place.
