I borrow the methods of religion from time to time, but I do not need any man made structure to help me to re-discover my true nature.

for that all I need is a nervous system - to check in with reality and see if my fears and tensions are relevant right now, or if I have fallen prey to yet another opinion.

reality is that all my cells will die and the minerals they are comprised of will go back into the pool so that other organisms may arise, to resist this is to create an alternate version of nature.

having multiple versions of the same reality ensures conflict, better to accept my fear of death and be grateful to have lived?
