Every fixed ritual becomes a religion once it establishes. And then attention becomes focused on following the prescriptions. In the ritual we may remove the guilt of our original feeling of sin. Of breaking up from this. Since intense affects are manifestations of the Greater Personality we should not take personal responsibility for it. It is an onslaught of instinct, a manifestation of the Self. In the world of psyche, if I commit a wrong against another person I will fear that person’s desire for revenge. And that condition then constellates the Self. If I have wronged myself within–if I have violated my inner center in some serious way—it’s a violation of my sense of totality, which again can arouse the vengeance of the Self against the Ego. (”Edinger”.) It activates a defensive response from the me because it expresses deep feelings non-verbally, and opens us to the possibility of discovering meaning within the situation. This, we cannot connect to through the collective consciousness or its established facts. Because each one of us who has this experience has it uniquely. True rituals contains objective processes, not fixed maps of reality. These processes creates a drama within for us to enable and realise the underlying structures of behavior when it is time for us to do so. To leave behind our fixed and automated behavior to meet the forces behind them. Most social rituals, and religious views are nothing more than meaningless habits that sacrifice individuality. These rituals are empty when we participate in them without any meaningful connection to the values they express, or when we approach them without drawing upon the interioror energies involved. When we do, this is how we transform psychological processes into culture. We first establish our connection to what the australian aboriginal call the dreaming, and dramatize its content through a physical performance. We then turn them into social habits. In this way new processes forces itself onto the world from its origin behind the world. Of course I understand that this is just words, and they are useless by themselves. But its my way of putting my experiences into context. I am also human, and objectively speaking, I think that what I am an experience of in my Nature, is also something that is part of all humanity. We all have to do an outer reflection of inner facts, and it needs an individual mind to be recognized.
What I understand now is that all forms of psychology are basically a study of the processes behind our rituals, and how they make us behave, both individually and transpersonally, when they are raised, and constantly renewed in the relationship we have to our inner life and how we interact with nature and our culture.
