Default An escape from concepts
I am obsessed with religion and philosophy.

If I could I would start a 12 step program for getting free from religion and philosophy.

I can't go a day without applying meaning to things, without building up concepts, without struggling with whether or not I believe a certain a way of thinking, whether or not I'm interested enough in my spirituality.

I am caught up in a drug called speculation. It's a drug because there's no cessation to the hunger for more and more. There's no end to this need to find out what the capital T Truth is.

What is turning me on to Buddhism though (and this is where I need clarification) is that there might be a way out from my clinging, striving, pseudo-philosopher's mind.

Is Buddhism a set of concepts that helps us escape from concepts?
