Sacred principles
In teaching the sacred, the explorer of such a venture has sought to bring down to earth, explain and map the results of his explorations and understandings. It has worked that way, where some have been able to go a bit further, have been more venturous, more intelligent or daring, and have been able to discover things that others were completely unaware of. So teaching and sharing to others what has been learned has always been an important benefit to humanity, a guidance that we have taken well and has helped us do what we do and live with the understanding we have. In this pursuit the explorers have built temples and written books, have created star maps and have stated principles like levels on a pyramid that rise higher to approach us to the divine.
When the explorer is gone, the principles and maps are there to continue advising others. It's a simple down-to-earth practical way to find and give meaning to life, but that finds itself misinterpreted quite often because we tend to forget that the map is not the territory. In this confusion and with the original map-maker gone, we find ourselves worshiping the map and imposing with violence the principles there stated. The misguidance of religion is that simple and is the main cause that so many today are on an exploration without maps, turning around in circles thinking that they are avoiding with that, tyranny.
One solution we are in pursuit of, is creating new maps, using the ancient ones but that are more up-to-date and with new languages and signage for their interpretation. The challenge here is to have others find them useful, as they might still be under the confusion that they are just maps, that they are only useful if they are willing to navigate there on their own, and that worshipping the map, just having it, is completely useless.
