ENDORPHIN (DRUG) ADDICTION: THE SECRET TO ABRAHAMISM. THE ANCIENT WORLD’S PRACTI

ENDORPHIN (DRUG) ADDICTION: THE SECRET TO ABRAHAMISM.

THE ANCIENT WORLD’S PRACTICAL RELIGION

In the ancient world, the aristocracy (warrior caste) performed many of the ceremonies – it was a public duty.

1) –“it would always remain a public office. “—

2) —“there were four colleges for priests, there was no priestly class;”—

3) —individual expression of belief was unimportant, strict adherence to a rigid set of rituals was far more significant, thereby avoiding the hazards of religious zeal (endorphine-chasing) —

IN OTHER WORDS

Like the only other civilization to rely on reason: china –

1 – The religion was ritualistic, and mindfulness was achievable through ritual and NOT subject to self-induced-drug-addiction. It was a practical religion not an escapist one.

2 – The practice of the rituals was an administrative skill (see Japanese Tea Ceremony) available to everyone.

3 – There was no dedicated priestly caste that could gain material or political power through the use of deception (fictionalism) or the sale of experiences (self induced drug addiction).

IN OTHER WORDS

There are many ways to obtain the experience of mindfulness. Of them, the best appears to be stoic virtues, the next pagan rituals, the next buddhist meditation, the next pagan prayer. As far as I know the only ‘bad’ means of doing so are self-induced-endorphine saturation, and artificially induced endorphin saturation (drugs).

CLOSING

People’s addiction to self-induced endorphin addiction using abrahamic religion is no different from people’s addiction to self administered synthetic endorphin-addiction.

And their behavior in defense of their addictions whether alcohol, marijuana, opiates, hallucinogens, or fictionalist religion – any religion that can produce ‘Zeal’ (addiction-behavior), is the same – and it is the reason for their absurd behavior in defense of their addiction.

I have no problem calling drug addicts what they are. I have no problem prosecuting drug addicts. I have no problem denying drug addicts means of distribution of their drugs. I have no problem denying drug addicts access to the commons. And I have no problem imprisoning or killing drug addicts.

BECAUSE AS WE HAVE SEEN – ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR IS ANTITHETICAL TO CIVILIZATION.
