   You are talking about physical actions on physical stuff.   
   In the mental and spiritual realms, everybody does it   
   with regard to their ancestors, near or far, symbolically   
   speaking. We humans keep repeating the (presumed)   
   teachings from dead old people from faraway places   
   and cultures, like the Buddha, the Old One (Lao-zi),   
   Jesus and the Jewish mythmakers, the Greeks, the   
   Romans, the Chinese, the Indians, the political thinkers   
   and actors, (Jefferson, Marx, etc.), etc. We are stuffed   
   solid with them.   
      
   For example, you, Neddie dear, talk about Zen hits,   
   which (presumably) are to you superior to all the   
   nonsense coming from Jewish mythology, like the "born   
   again Christianity". Are they not the mental and spiritual   
   parallels to:   
      
   <>?   
      
   Anyway, how "high" are your Zen hits? Do they obliterate   
   you? Are the Trump fans getting "highs" from their Trump   
   rallies, the way Nazis got "highs" from their Hitler ones or   
   Communists from Stalin and Mao ones? How are yours   
   compared with theirs in sheer highness, in disregard to   
   content?
