With this new technology, I find myself ubiquitous in time and space. But this way, you see, we are inserted into planetary karma. Not one of us is innocent. There is no such thing as innocence. What I do and what you do radically affects everybody else.
Rituals actually key off parts of the brain.
The old reptilian brain is a ritual brain, and it needs that level of repetition to go on to the next stage. I went to 29 schools before I was 12 years old, because my father was a writer for the Bob Hope Show, and we were always on the road. What kept me more or less sane is that regardless of whether I went to school one day in Bemidji, Minnesota, and the next in Biloxi, Mississippi, in school we always had the pledge to the flag, singing of the anthem, and collecting the milk money. That was ritual. Many rituals in America are rituals around sports.
