Since the beginning of recorded time, various religious and spiritual groups have engaged in rituals. To many, rituals form some sort of bridge between themselves and the Divine, or God. From very simple people living meagerly in huts to the so-called captains of industry at the top of skyscrapers, very few people are immune from finding themselves engaged in some form of religious ritual. In many religions, rituals take up a great deal of the followers' time.
To the vast majority of souls occupying this earth plane of existence, some sort of ritual is practiced in accord with the general theology espoused. The question should be asked-if so much time is taken in the practice of rituals, are they of any real value? Is there anything to be gained from rituals, or are they just part of pomp and circumstance to impress the masses?
From a mystical point of view, rituals are performed as an outer spiritual practice simply because a person does not know about stepping into the inner spiritual communion of spirit.

Invocation to Higher Inner Consciousness for

I open myself as I start this new week to the inner light of peace, power, intuitive wisdom, creativity, healing, and revitalization throughout my entire being as a positive statement of my soul's eternal oneness with the creative power of the Father-Mother God of Universal Presence within me ... AND SO IT IS!
