Breaking Free from Dogma
The Courage to Explore
We live in a time where ancient tools are returning to our collective awareness. Numerology, Astrology, Human Design, the I Ching and many more systems are finding their way back into the lives of people seeking deeper understanding.
And yet, many still hesitate.
Not because these tools are wrong, but because of something far more subtle:
The fear of dogma.
What is Dogma?
Dogma is not just a religious term.
It describes any belief system that positions itself as the one and only truth, often leaving no room for questioning, flexibility or personal exploration.
Dogma makes us afraid:
-
afraid of being wrong,
-
afraid of being judged,
-
afraid of losing connection if we don’t follow the rules.
It is this very fear that keeps many from engaging with spiritual tools – not the tools themselves.
Religion vs. Spirituality - The Core Difference
This fear is rooted in history. For centuries, religion (in its institutionalized form) took away the individual’s power and placed it into systems, rules, and hierarchies. It often promised salvation in exchange for obedience.
Spirituality, on the other hand, offers a different lens.
It says: The answers are already inside of you.
It reminds us that there is no universal map – only personal exploration, timing, and unfolding.
My Personal Encounter with Dogma
When I first met my teacher at the age of 19, I was both fascinated and cautious. Her words carried deep wisdom, and I knew immediately that they touched something essential inside of me. Over the next five years, I devoted myself to learning from her and the community surrounding her.
And yet, over time, I noticed something unsettling.
The problem wasn’t the teacher herself – it was the environment. The people and structures around her slowly turned her truth into dogma.
Her words were no longer an invitation but a rulebook.
Diverging perspectives became unwelcome.
What was missing was the space for personal exploration.
Even though I gained invaluable insights during those years, I reached a point where the framework became too tight.
If you build walls around knowledge, you stop it from breathing and expanding.
I had to step away – not to reject what I had learned but to protect my own freedom to explore.
Spiritual Tools Are Languages, Not Laws
Since then, I have understood that tools like Numerology, Astrology, or Human Design are not meant to control us.
They are not systems of right or wrong.
They are languages.
Languages to describe patterns, cycles and energies.
Languages to give us orientation, not obligation.
Languages that invite us to reconnect with our rhythm, not to follow someone else’s.
When you look at these tools without fear, without dogma, and without the need for absolute certainty – they can become powerful mirrors.
Not to tell you who you should be, but to help you remember who you already are.
An Invitation to Reflect
I believe that many of us have, at some point, encountered dogma – not just in religious settings, but in schools, families, relationships or workplaces.
Sometimes it’s hidden in the subtle message: This is the only way.
Sometimes it’s louder, shaping entire systems and cultures.
And often, it leaves us disconnected from our own curiosity and capacity to explore.
So I’d love to leave you with a question:
👉 Where have you experienced dogma in your life?
Has it shown up in your upbringing, your education, or even in a space where you expected freedom?
