The Stars were our first Scriptures…

Religions are great art, and they work precisely because they aren't true, real, or provable.

They take their ethereal power from the imagination and intuition, and only become dangerous in the dull wits and blunt nervous systems who possess neither.

It'll never disappear and even if 'you wiped it away tomorrow', as Jung suggests, 'the volkskulture’ would rise up to replace it'.

Religion in the deepest sense of the word is the organization of myth,†dreams, poetry and the imaginal realms. It has not only led to man's greatest horrors, but his greatest achievements as well. As any†artist or physicist will tell you about a theory or a painting-- it was born of their imagination and intuition: the places religions are born.

Oddly enough it's not religions we have to work against, but what they become in the hands of the dim-witted brutes who lack intuition,†imagination, and an education.
