Every conscious ritual is an opportunity to experience the Way of inner consciousness. Every conscious ritual gives us a chance to look in-between the landmarks and pathways that we use habitually, to discover what they have been preventing us from experiencing.
In this journey, we are neither returning to nature, nor abandoning human traditions; rather, we are taking our consciousness into our own hands. We may not be able to choose the landmarks and pathways we have inherited from our ancestors and our communities, but we have total control of the qualia with which we choose to hold in our own minds.
