As we see from this world's "great religions", lifetimes can be 
spent deciding what to wear, what color, drape of fabric, what shoes 
to put on, how to step, in what order progress will be made, what to 
think, how others may have explained it in the dusty past, before 
the very first step of the spiritual journey is made. What a waste 
of time, and a waste of life.
