There are also drugs and drugs.
For instance, opiates. They are
great pain killers, and one feels normal on them possibly, or even good. And
then one is addicted and cannot consider life without them.
(Beautiful Papaver somniferum
ver Nigrum. I love you. (I hate the world which keeps us apart). White and
purple poppy. Land of Nod.)
On the other hand there is aspirin
and ibuprofen and acetaminophen, drugs which also kill pain but which one could
not get addicted to no matter how hard one tried.
Religions have over time stopped
replacing everyday life with analogues of varying potency.
Cults remain addictive, and like
certain plants have co-evolved with humans in a mutually attractive
co-dependency. Also like drugs they often replace everyday feelings, thoughts,
awareness with dependency producing states.
Such that everyday people find it
hard to carry on a normal conversation with a cultist because they speak and act
like they are high on dope.
Maybe some people can benefit from
an infrequent jar of Amrit, or a yajna, or a jyotish reading or Vedic gem, or a
group meditation or a five day panchakarma, but unfortunately we know that given
the money and leisure, a Movement junkie (cultist) will:
Be on CCP
Taking M4 and M5
And other suppliments
Do 11 day PK treatments
will wear a gem
be having Level Umpteenth
Yajnas
Birthday yajnas
be reading Karma Mimansa and the
Upanishads and RV 9th and 10th
Calling people for TMO
fundraising
Will really be totally detacted and
complete freaking fanatics who cannot have normal conversations.
Like David Lynch, Like Off World
Beings, Like any Raja up on that stage.
Light the light and ring the bell.
Cut the cake and share the bliss.
TMO is a cult, and it will be a long
time before it reaches an everyday appeal which will make it identifiable as a
religion. That is, before everyday people can understand it and the
cliquish-high and uniqueness-high enters the typical mainstream.
Religion is the opiate of the
masses. But most religions are like aspirin. TMO is still too much like
opium.
