"Scripture-Ridden"

There is a condition in Buddhism, known as being "dharma-ridden."  It is when the scriptures become unmanagable in yer mind.  Their authority overrides yer own sense of self-control.  The dharma is said to spin yoo around, instead of yoo turning the dharma.

I've been having this kind of experience lately, but with Christian scripture.  I think it can happen with any kind of advice or sayings that yoo deem authoritative.

My solution is to take my problem to what I believe to be the final authority, the living and loving God.  I let Him tell me what is true, and He puts my mind at ease.
