And no, the elements are not based on any type of Wiccan things. Its a way of representing different stages of growth...
Nice try though."

Ummm you are aware that spirtuality and religion often go hand in hand?
idiot.
Also why dont you check again and think back on some of your fond memories concerning those "stages of growth" its obvious you werent paying attention the first time around. Staff members at the time even acknowledged that the elemental system was based on a spirtual devolpement. What did you think it about?
aftenthurston:
Spiritualiy and religion are not the same thing though. The elements are not religous barriers, they are ways of specifying emotional progress.
RobertBruce:
both through a religous context that falls under Kees' perview, hence my statement that he forces religon onto us, namley through the pointless Indian religous ceremonies would be factual.
aftenthurston:
Its a form of education; do you critisize your history teachers of forcing religion on you because they teach you of many religions? If so, then you have every reason to say religion was forced; but if you don't critisize your eduacators of forcing religion, then you've stepped out of line.

Well theres a stupid argument. History and religion teachers inform you about other religions and cultures, not force you to partake in its rituals much as Kees did with the Indian ceremonies.
