When they lose their sense of awe,
people turn to religion.
When they no longer trust themselves,
they begin to depend upon authority.
Therefore the Master steps back
so that people won’t be confused.
He teaches without a teaching,
so that people will have nothing to learn.

Today a woman who’s bio says she’s an “Evolutionary Astrologer” randomly sent me a friend request on Facebook.
I have a friend who is an actual Evolutionary Geneticist. For a fraction of a second I thought “Hey, I could accept and maybe have, like, a complete set.”
Then I took another sip of coffee and banged my head against a wall a few times until it clicked on.
Mornings are confusingly hard.
