Just pausing by and meditating on the subject is a great experience to me. I guess that's why I don't mind the monologue.
Though I also realize that the deepest spiritual work is listening in silence.
@Swenani has nailed it. Even the fallacy I was telling him about has dissolved. It's like the individual versus institutions, how do they relate in the 'Spiritual realm'? Laying of hands, anointing oil ... holy water, these are potent symbols and 'things in themselves'. And they can only be given by someone else.
What we have, according to my perspective, is spiritual anarchy. Authority is challenged or perhaps Foucault put it well on 'delogocentrism'. I'm afraid I can't type the thoughts flowing in my mind right now but I see a jigsaw puzzle solved.
