When I consider the great sages and mystics who have explored and mapped the multifarious byways of consciousness and its emancipation from delusion, most with greater application and dedication than me. I am reluctant to discard their formulas and routes without careful consideration.
I have in the past been arrogant to consider my limited view to be qualification enough to make decisions about what are simply 'trappings' or 'superstition' only to find with the advantage of hindsight how much more efficacious, rites, rituals, practices etc are with their inclusion.
I have to say that for me with my limited view I have too often misunderstood practices in both principal, application and result.
