There’s no getting away from religion. You simply end up following one of the olde religions, or a newfangled one. image

“The function of a guru, that is to say a spiritual teacher in India, is to look give you a funny look in the eye. Because you come to him and say Mr. Guru I have problems. I suffer and it’s a mess and I can’t control my mind. And I’m miserable and depressed and so on. And he gives you a funny look. And you feel a bit nervous about the way he looks at you. Because he thinks you know he’s reading your thoughts. And this man is a great magician. He can read everything that’s in you. He knows right down into your unconscious. And you know all the dreadful things you’ve thought. And all the awful desires you have. And you are rather embarrassed that this man looks right through you and sees them all. That’s not what he’s looking at. He’s giving you a funny look for quite another reason altogether. Because he sees in you the Brahman, the Godhead, just claiming it’s poor little me. And he’s going to eventually by all sorts of subtle techniques that are called in Sanskrit Upaya. That in politics means chicanery. And in spiritual education means skillful pedagogy. He is going to try and kid you back into realizing who you really are. That’s why he gives you a funny look. And why he seems to see right through you. As if to say, Shiva, oh boy, don’t kid me. I know who you are. But you’re coming on beautifully in this act.” — Alan Watts, Spiritual Alchemy image

Go far enough down the rabbit hole and you’ll find Bitcoin. Go even further, you’ll find God.

“We’re all going around unconscious of this marvelous interdependence between what we call ourselves on the one hand and what we call the universe on the other. Therefore, don’t notice that as a matter of fact, our real self is the whole cosmos. We’ve forgotten that. That was rapidly expunged from our minds in very early infancy.” — Alan Watts, Reality, Art, and Illusion image
