SCIENCE: Church Ritual is more important than dogma or belief. The problem is people think the opposite. If we have church rituals (surrender to the pack) where we are all rendered equal in safety for just a moment, any content will do. It causes an addiction response for the same reason pack membership causes an addiction response. Why this is complicated is beyond me.
My question is how to create those experiences across the spectrum of people who need different pack responses. I feel safe around thousands of armed men. Women feel safe in a church full of chattering women. Some people feel safe in a sports arena. Some over family dinner. These are all pack-feast rituals. And we apparently need them to feel ‘whole’ (mindfulness.)
