Religious traditions have to potential to anchor individuals in the meaningful collective life because they can provide a framework that links the individual's spiritual aspirations to whole communities. Communities extending deep into the past, far into the future, and outward into the extended present.
Everything has causes and effects, and that only understanding such causes and that nothing is unchanging can yield to spiritual freedom. Envisioning this death and rebirth can lead to liberation and serves us as an exercise to rehearse how the mind shapes our reality, embodiment and environment. Such that realising that nothing is permanent and everything is changing has the power to awaken within us our ability to recreate our lives moment by moment.
