What on earth could possibly be more practical [and crucial] then in exploring Enlightenment through the behaviors that we choose in our interactions with others? After all, what is clearly not the “same for all” are those behaviors deemed to be either right or wrong, good or evil, enlightened or unenlightened. Particularly as it relates to the other side of the religious coin: the part where we are dead and gone from this side of the grave.
What “practical” aspects are others more intent on exploring here?
And surely the one thing that “theories, definitions, historic developments or creeds” share in common is the extent to which one’s assessment of them get’s one closer to being reincarnated into a more preferable form. Or closer to Nirvana.
Only, sans God, how exactly does that work? What “entity” is behind it?
