ON “SPIRITUALISM”

Spiritualism is necessary. The feeling of ‘spirituality’ is what we call the pack response (submission to the pack). It is a sort of euphoria that allows us to relax, abandon the self, and submit to the will of the the pack (become part of the pack mind).

Developing sentience (self awareness) was an advantage but we retain the brain stem that wants to feel the pack.

It is this process that mindfulness puts under our control.

It is unhealthy to demand humans practice reason, sentience, self awareness, and individualism at all times. We did not evolve for it. We may never evolve for it.

The question is how we solve it. We can solve it thru lies or thru truth.

The fact that we solved it through error, lie and accident does not mean that we cannot solve it truthfully.

Church works. Concerts work. Sports work. Even the academy works a bit. That is why they work. Because we still long once and a while to hail to the throng. To run with the pack, to sleep in the den, to huddle under a tree or in the sun with the pack. TO SHARE THE PROBLEM OF AWARENESS AND CALCULATION. To know we are safe and insured. Likewise we have many parts of our brain that do not recieve that stimulation and it is very difficult to discipline those neurons. Various ritualistic processes provide the ‘stimulation of the pack’ and give our self awareness a break – relaxation.

If we do not have it we are required to process all information alone, without the feedback of the pack, and it overwhelms us.

LIES ARE FAMILIAR BUT NOT NECESSARY
