Quote by Robert Wolfe

“So long as “mind” survives, “religion” will also exist.  But no religion will persist in the silence that results from looking within.  It is the ego that comes up, in the form of saying, “my religion should be embraced by all.”

On the one hand, compulsions bear striking similarities to various repetitive, ritualized behaviors observed in other animals --including self-grooming, food inspection and washing, and checking for predators. On the other hand, cultural rituals --which also share several features with OCD symptoms-- perform a range of important functions in human societies, from group coordination in social and religious ceremonies to the transmission of knowledge between generations.”
