Remember...
(4)
Damn this is fun! Sip. Last beer. Sip. Whiskey in reserve. Sip. (Oh Canada!) Sip.
My take on the history of religion is that the various religions were trying to instill that 'ritual methodology' in their most faithful believers. For example, the 'examination of conscience' in Catholicism, and the idea that God was always watching what we're doing and thinking.
Even Thinking! Huh?
The problem with all that was that 'esotericism' often got lost in the process because the early practicioners had no scientific ground on which to base their teachings. The Human Brain had yet to be 'invented.' Esoteric Theory took the human brain into the equation.
'Psychology' became a study worth believing.
'Religion' became less 'believable.'
Modernity rejects religion and embraces psychology as a way of knowing. Sip.
Back from the fridge with whiskey #1 at 2335. Sip. I would have done a hit of Ganja, but all I have is whiskey. (thump)
So. My advice remains viable: Do you want to become Enlightened? Then do your shopping while wearing the underpants of the opposite sex.
And remember. Remember. Remember.
