@M...@Jaz-I think it may be even worse on Wednesday!<br />@Mantan Calaveras-I know many religious rituals have some practical origins. Many feasts were meant to finish perishable food while we could, for instance. But all the same, many rituals for my Catholic childhood had a more devious motive: turning us into good unthinking Catholics.Guillaumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12376749604845793465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592307094236206281.post-23416600207205478462014-04-16T11:19:38.579+01:002014-04-16T11:19:38.579+01:00If you are assiduous in your studies, you will fin...If you are assiduous in your studies, you will find that much of the stuff in religion that seems superstitious is actually very practical.<br /><br />For instance, nobody believes in spirits anymore. Spirits? Come on that's just superstition.<br /><br />Until you look up the etymology of the word spirit, and you realize it means breath, and then you re-read the texts with breathing in mind, and it all starts to make sense. You might even learn something useful. Like what happens when you breathe like the yogis tell you.<br /><br />We were talking about Yeshua the other day, and his riding into Jerusalem on the donkey, and how the people threw palms in the road.<br /><br />I don't know the significance of the burning of the palms and applying the ash, but I do know that when you burn vegetation you get potash, which is very alkali. Putting it on your skin just sucks the water right out. It's a very useful treatment for edema, I've used it myself.<br /><br />The more you know!Mantan Calaverashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024705691966479703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592307094236206281.post-59325966607272129472014-04-15T00:35:32.612+01:002014-04-15T00:35:32.612+01:00i so identify with this! i so identify with this! jaz@octoberfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.com
