Is spirituality big entertainment business?

[Covellite]

Some, or maybe most of us want to pay to hear what we want to hear. Sooner, or later, we want something new, more exciting, more promising, so we buy some new «toys». It's like shopping, we need something more. We feel better for a while. Others, intentionally or unintentionally meet some charismatic person or a group of people and accept what they have been told and get awarded by there's acceptance. Spiritual leaders are basically actors and is some way they are excellent. Very interesting kind of entertainment is spirituality «behind the scene», with silent networks and esoteric secrets.

Hmmm... Welcome to RF. Let me answer your question from a prespective of Hindu entertainment.

Hinduism is an adventure that thrives in an outlandish casino-neon-landscape of intense colors and smells, sounds and tastes, residing in the center of a pulsating human ghetto of twilight languages and surreal yet sentimental songs and even screams of every character imaginable from the good with the brightness of an angelic army of light-bearers or of the bad to the power of infinity, and every cast character of every opera inbetween, that thrives on a frenetic energy that has magical secret powers to turn the pages of a captivating book but you do not want the pages to end, forever able to endow the capacity to escape. Hinduism also recounts the annals and interstellar, middle earth and subterranean conflicts, it documents in detail the effectiveness and schematics of every Psychological Warfare Intelligence Branch that has ever existed and the various secret societies and love affairs involved in conquering the Seven Heavens, the train station at the ghetto leaves at 509 AM across the street and one block South of the dirty but tasty Shahjahan Hotel and Restaurant, bathroom should be before you leave for the destination of one of the Seven as there are no such public facilities along the way. But there are snacks.

Other than that Hinduism cannot be explained but only experienced. But experience is not exactly the same as entertainment, but there certainly a lot of entertainers. All leaders are also, at least the great ones, and the quality of great leadership come from the ability to entertain. The snakes below and serpents in the sea and the underworlds, to humans on Bhumi Earth and various beings on the same multi-dimensional but strangely level plane to the Gods above and elsewhere and Angels tend to try and entertain each other, it is not just for those "sitting in the pew" if you will.

I hope this flavor of one interpretation gives you a peek into the entertainments of all sorts of characters directly or indirectly involved. But I just like to play, some might differ with my tea time interpretation, and I apologize. But on with the show.

Welcome, yes we are all actors on the stage called life.

Spirituality of any kind is entertaining I would imagine; even negative turns and experiences.

Organized religion is a total racket though using the entertainment industry as an instrument in promoting dogma.

Dear ShivaFan,
It's lovely, kind and very interesting what you've said. It made me feel really nice. BTW, I really like Shiva and always wanted to know more about Hinduism. I was so happy when CERN decided to put Shiva sculpture in front of the entrance of the main building, even it is really great material form "conspiracy" oriented people Among other things I would love to satisfy people's obsession with "conspiracy" theories and if I could have more time I would be glad to give them 365 conspiracy theories - one for everyday for the hole year. It could be published every December, before the New Year comes It would be wonderful to find 365 experts from all fields and put there's texts in one BIG book.
Because I live in Europe, eastern traditions are not so familiar to me, as western ones.
Have a really wonderful day

Dear The Good Doctor,
The dogma is powerful method for achieving certain goals, especially to keep others under strict control. Dogma centrals use all available sources including entertainment industry. BTW your MM looks much better then mine skeleton

I don't like the idea of individuals being compelled by strict control. Especially when this is then aggravated by certain individuals and authorities using dogma in the ways you describe. Dogma sucks. It's great when people genuinely arrive at a point in their lives where they can see the transparency of it; like curing a disease of some sort.

And, yeah, I love that MM - so confronting and virtually paints a portrait of the most base of a male's psyche - at least IMO. There's other art like that by the dude mentioned in my profile somewhere. I forget where.

Yes. It's clearly working well. Very well for it's organizers and patrons.

Thanks for welcome and for the fruit, too
Fruit is greater then and religion, we should all believe in fruit-gods and declare that everything else has no significance )
