    1.6 Religious laws & rituals (Religion)

    • In general, what purpose does ritual serve? • In the traditional Scriptures of Judaism and Islam, the texts are specific regarding the consumption of fish, flesh, and fowl; it is commanded that “of their flesh shall we not eat.” But in the fifteenth verse of Matthew, Jesus said, “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth the man, but that which cometh out of the mouth.” Christianity, in fact, has no ban against pork, but during Lent, dietary restrictions are observed by Christians. So are the dietary laws based on that which is unclean, or on that which is holy?...So then what is the meaning of Lent and the counting of the days? • What about customs such as circumcision? • Most religions of the world use the motion of genuflecting. Many of them also use the two palms together. There are also the patterns created by the whirling dervishes. Do these movements have some inherent meaning?...Is it possible that these body positions bring about new connections in the body? For instance, if a person bows and puts his head below his heart, lowering his ego, is that position significant in some way? • Could you please explain the meaning of the sacrament of Holy Communion? Is it a ritual or is it more? In this teaching from the Pathwork Guide, we uncover the deeper truth: rituals themselves have no power—only the consciousness behind them does. Rituals were originally created as symbols and reminders of inner truths, but over time, many have become mechanical and disconnected from their meaning.
