The concept of ritual is not limited to religion. It’s a fundamental aspect of human culture and experience. Rituals can help us cultivate a connection with something greater than ourselves, foster a sense of awe, wonder, and reverence, and provide a structure for our meditation practice. Joseph Campbell, the famous scholar, author, and mythologist, believed that the modern world lacks meaningful rituals, leading to a sense of disconnection and alienation. He saw a need for new forms of ritual that can help us connect with each other and with the larger forces that give our lives meaning. Developing our own rituals is important to awaken a sense of awe, wonder, and reverence within ourselves. In this way, rituals can have powerful effects on our lives, allowing us to connect with the sacred in a personal way. ---If you have any questions, comments, or thoughts related to today's topic, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
