Christianity.

[Diana]

That journey of opening up bit by bit is enabled by a process of separating a chunk of catalyst off and keeping the rest beneath your frozen lake.

This brings to mind a line from the Robert Frost poem...

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake,
The darkest evening of the year.

As I read it, the whole point of the mess of 3D confusion is to inspire one to abstract from the mayhem the beauty.  What lies beneath the crust will be dealt with in due course (maybe sooner, maybe later).  For now, our task is to hold our wee candle up to the darkness so as to discover the infinite source of radiance within.

I love that poem excerpt.  Like all great poetry it says so much in so few words.

What lies beneath the crust may eventually be dealt with even if it isn't consciously addressed (and in some cases not in this life even), but in the meantime it will trigger and color everything. I do like the idea of continuing to hold a candle up to the darkness, and in that, I think it's important to continue to look within with that same light, and that includes what's under the crust. 

If one can find a pathway to eternal beauty via religious practice, why would others with a spiritual bent not honour that?  Why squirt personal discontentedness over it?  After all, at this time on this planet, such pathways are not easy to come by.

Any pathway is fine by me. I only meant to point out that sometimes a person may need to surface certain feelings or discoveries or discernments about things—and in the case of organized religions there are historical and STS-type issues to possibly integrate aside from personal experience—and that is necessary to their personal process of acceptance.
