—“The wise in all ages have always said the same things, and the fools, who at all times form the immense majority, have in their way too acted alike, and done just the opposite; and so it will continue.”—AS

Children talk in shoulds. The young talk in beliefs. The adult talks in rules. The wise talk in incentives and the institutions that unconsciously perpetuate them over generations without should, belief, or rule.

THE ONLY MEASURE OF A RELIGION …
The only measure of any religion is the economic status of its adherents.
So it is not how you feel. Not how you think. Not what you think. Not what you believe. Not what is said. Not what is envisioned. Not what is written. But what RESULTS from the practice of it. Nothing more. Nothing less.
The greatest trick the devil ever played, was not in convincing us he does not exist, but in convincing us he is god.
Jehovah and Muhammed are the names of the devil – the lie of suffering his means of attraction; the promise of utopia is his means of seduction; and the books of monotheism his means of deceit.
There is but one god: the god we ourselves wish to be, and that we bring into being by our actions.

I love sitting in Church. I love singing in church. I love dressing up for church. But, can you imagine if instead of preaching babylonian mysticism and socialist propaganda, the ‘priest’ gave lessons in history that related to today, and posed questions about what we should do? What if instead of one-ness, we heard from the four corners of the reproductive distribution? Telling stories of the lives of heroes and saints?
Meaning:
1 Aristocracy, military, militia, and law.
2 Treasury, finance, banking, entrepreneurship
3 Science, Technology, Craftsmanship and Labor
4 The Commons, Family, Nurture, Medicine
Now, a church or temple should always speak in historical analogy. Never directly addressing the current era, and drawing the mind’s eye across the centuries.
That is a church I would love to go to: one I would learn from from.
(BTW – the whole catholic, sit, kneel, stand thing. I’ve been doing it all my life and I still have no idea when we are supposed to do each. And I hate the whole vatican ii thing. I hate the shake-hands thing. It was cool before. I remember it. I thought the hippies had taken over the church. It seemed ‘sacrilegious’. Because it was.)
