- Some Unfinished Thoughts on Religion -
The Christian idea of the kingdom of God, of the new Jerusalem, of a Heaven on Earth that’s not available until after the Rapture (and yet is spread across the earth and men do not see it) is the same religious meme, unleashes the same program on the nervous system, as the Buddhist idea that we are already fully enlightened beings, that we fully posses Buddha-nature here and now, and that awakening is our true original nature…
Just the cultural responses to this program are different. This is a fault of the culture, not the meme-program itself, simply different stage dressing to an otherwise identical script.
