That is again the same story played on a more subtle level. That's what the religious people have been doing down the ages - pious egoists they have been. They have made their ego even more decorated; it has taken the color of religion and holiness.

The subtle ego goes on playing such games that it is very difficult. One will need absolute awareness to watch it.

religious moving people
People are living in unconsciousness, doing all kinds of things in unconsciousness. Everybody is an unconscious robot. We are just pretending that we are conscious; we are not conscious.

Your each act comes out of inner clarity; your each response is virtuous, is virtue. To live unconsciously is to live in sin; to live consciously is to be virtuous, is to be religious. And to live in total awareness is to be a buddha, is to be a christ.

Myths, whether in written or visual form, serve a vital role of asking unanswerable questions and providing unquestionable answers.

Traditionally, religious myths have served that role, but today — the age of science — science fiction is our mythology.

Of one man in especial, beyond anyone else, the citizens of a republic should beware, and that is of the man who appeals to them to support him on the ground that he is hostile to other citizens of the republic, that he will secure for those who elect him, in one shape or another, profit at the expense of other citizens of the republic.

The man who makes such an appeal should always be presumed to make it for the sake of furthering his own interest. Theodore Roosevelt
