Or Christianity, the religion of empire where we each soul attempt that same mimicry in nature, to be like him is to be eternal,protected from demons & satan, hence the robes, the renunciation, vows, ritual blood drinking & body eating etc. The mind needs these outward rituals that are grounded in the outward material, always, says much, that it is still brain/body connected.
