It isn't particularly difficult, provided you engage in a bit of mental exercise, to draw a parallel between reptilian influences and spiritual progress. You see, anyone who dares to pursue true spiritual growth will find themselves being actively pushed off that path by any means necessary—especially if there is even a slight chance they might lead a significant portion of their followers along with them. Such individuals aren't useful as mere sustenance; instead, they become targets for persecution and isolation to ensure they don't spread their perceived "affliction." 😁
Of course, this logic doesn't apply to those religions where suffering, self-flagellation, and repressed sexuality are baked into the very foundation of the faith due to an inherent inability to actually renounce desire. Now *those* are the raw emotions that serve as a feast... particularly when they congregate for spiritual revivals or gather around some charismatic preacher. 😁
In my view, these are the forces specifically designed to stifle human development and prevent our liberation from primal, animalistic instincts.
