My observation about ritual is that it grounds the energy of your intention into this reality.
It is a physical manifestation of metaphysical (time/space) reality. That is why ritual is so prevalent in spiritual work because spiritual work is inherently metaphysical.
Rituals give your bodily senses something tangible to connect with spiritual, non-physical energies.
And that is why religions are so popular in our veiled 3-d experience. Religions give structure, form, community and ritual as tools for connection to Spirit. All of this makes Spirit tangible to us. And even though negative STS agendas have co-opted religions to promote their agendas, many STO polarizing beings are doing so through the form of their religion. As Ra said, "orthodox religious systems which have all become somewhat mixed in orientation, yet offer a pure path to the One Creator which is seen by the pure seeker."
