MysticWicks endorsement: ""Oooh, I'm a Discordian! I can do whatever I want! Which means I can just SAY I'm a pagan but I never bother doing rituals or studying any kind of sacred texts or developing a relationship with deity, etc! I can go around and not be Christian, but I won't quite be anything else either because I just can't commit and I can't be ARSED to commit!"

Great posts, Cain.

The main idea that struck me is freedom as an act--and specifically a temporary one.

It's a lot like the notion that mystical experience is a process (decentering, recentering, and grounding) in which one steps outside the boundaries and assumptions of one's society in order to taste something ineffable and then comes back with a new perspective, which one anchors into the fabric of one's culture even as one's understanding is transformed.
