I ask this while thinking of the major religions and the New Ager's. They seem to all believe this magical thing is going to happen and bring then to a higher state, which they have done nothing for or gained on their own merits but that like a zap of electricity their all going to be complete and like these highly spiritual beings. New Ager's have the Christ-Consciousness, Christians jesus-pagan, and etc etc.
Why do people always attempt to take shortcuts to human progress? Why do they want everything handed to them on a silver platter and self defeat themselves as if they can arise to the occasion and bring themselves to higher nature of being and intellect? Why evade what matters the most, your own self? I mean really though if most of what constitutes you as an individual is temporal, and you have not obtained a higher ideal of being, what makes you think that you can generally become anything of value? What is it that invokes others to seek shortcuts when there are none?
