  20. 20
    Religion can only be aesthetic 4 February 1988

    Religion must be aesthetic: consciousness as art - music, dance, craft can be meditation and paths to enlightenment; ascetic renunciations are condemned.

    The vertical line opens a door to eternity 24 February 1988

    Vipassana comes in the end 24 February 1988
