Cults and religions provide a primordial sense of tribal belonging as part and parcel of a fustian bargain: you give up your sense of self in exchange for that sense of belonging, a false sense of security.
Itโs actually worse than the proverbial myth of selling your soul to the โdevilโ (which is a construct invented by and perpetuated by cults as a fear based dogma); you are giving away your individuality, your soul to the cult or religion in exchange for illusions and delusions. A sleight of mind. Not a fair bargain in the transactional space.
As to the sovereign individual, remember that you are never alone, that everything and everyone is inter-connected in a web of being, that you truly do not need a โmiddlemanโ to experience communion with the cosmos; you just forgot that you have been connected all along.
Be good to yourself and others.

Cats once were considered deities, and have not forgotten that.
