The Truth is NEVER tedious and boring, SINSULL. It is something that people desire with utter fervency at all times, and everyone seeks it wherever they can, however they can, but in their own fashion. Your specific fashion of seeking it may bore me, yes, but the truth itself does not.

Any spiritual thing, ideal, or discipline is extremely usefull to me IF it enables me to live life more fully and joyfully RIGHT NOW in this bodily existence.

I'm not looking for distant rewards in some hypothetical future nor am I looking to please some distant deity or follow some set of "rules". I'm looking to improve the present experience of reality which I am in. Everything spiritual I study is aimed at that result.

There are no rules. There are only some very general guidelines toward positive behaviours...but those guidelines must remain flexible, and they will be subject to exceptions now and then, because of the infinite variety of changing conditions in life. This requires a person to be flexible and to think creatively, not to cling dogmatically to sets of rules that have been handed down from some higher "authority".

It's a form of subtlety that both secular law and religious law are incapable of grasping or dealing with, because both are based on laying down a set of rules. A robot can follow a set of pre-arranged rules, and so can an idiot. We need to rise higher than being mere robots. We need to go way beyond just blindly following rules. Then we will be truly alive.
