The Enlightenment as a spiritual movement

If you haven't built a solid foundation within your own inner temple, any outward progress is just going to vanish into a cloud of wishful thinking and broken dreams.
I just hope you aren't using this whole "enlightenment" angle to push some kind of "third option" on us...
You aren't trying to lead us—whether by accident or design—to the conclusion that it’s finally time for the "exhausted," "burnt out," and "lost" masses to just bow down to the leadership of those who have been quietly watching from the sidelines all this time...
That "invisible" elite that can't stand liberals OR believers (Christians or Muslims alike).
God forbid we hand over the keys to these self-appointed "guardians of the inner temple." Like we're supposed to just hand them over and shut our mouths... letting them ride us like cattle and steer us wherever they feel like?!

👍 Cheers for the topic, Paul.
The mind is a hell of a thing... if it doesn't have an anchor, it’s incredibly easy to throw it off course and mess with it!
Especially the collective mind.
At every turn, you see these subtle hints that someone, somewhere at a global level, is working tirelessly to grab the reins for themselves...
Social engineering is actually pretty straightforward;
Break the cohesion, ridicule or discredit everything that gives a mind direction or stability, then isolate that mind, make it self-centered... nudge it toward where you want it to go, and finally, use that isolated individual as fuel for your machine!
And isn't it just a funny little coincidence that this invisible elite has absolutely nothing to do with that Vatican-style agenda you seem so fond of advocating? 🙄 😎
