Do you become spiritual by performing ceremonies and rituals…? Ceremonies and rituals sometimes give a certain sensation, so-called uplift. But they are repetitious, and every sensation that is repeated soon wearies of itself.
If I had to choose a religion, the sun as the universal giver of life would be my god.
In religion and politics people’s beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second-hand
The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender’s inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for everyone else the proper pleasure of ritual.
All ideologies are idiotic, whether religious or political, for it is conceptual thinking, which has so unfortunately divided man.
