Will Rituals that we do not understand work?
I recall when I was younger, my father being a Taoist, gave me a talisman to ward bad dreams. They stopped when I started wearing it. So, could it be that it worked because I believe in what my father said it would do for me?
Then I played with it and acted out the rituals I saw my father did with the talisman over incense but I did it over smoke from a mosquito coil. The bad dreams recurred after that.
How do you explain this?
Here is a quote that I picked up today in a Valentine message on what love is about.
"Enjoy the similarities and respect the differences."
For world peace, maybe this is what we should practice instead of condemning what we do not understand.
