there is mysticism and then there's occult knowledge.
- Latin mysticus "mystical, mystic, of secret rites"
- Latin occultus "hidden, concealed, secret"
although similar, something that is secret (mystic) is a distraction for the public, to keep them away from inquiring into the real things. something that is occult can be unveiled. easy filter for me is that the -ism's are a facade. people who have more time and curiosity can venture beyond the facade and find out really interesting things - the truth.
good example is the cult of NGU: many people unfortunately get stuck in the numerology of bitcoin price. some wise few venture beyond the mysticism of bitcoin price and discover... literally everything under the sun. i think making memes about the price is helpful to activate the right-brain thru humor. like after the $69,420 we have the $77,777 and then $100k is a meme also, tho not as strong.
There is also a place where those labels no longer matter because everything is and everything is not and the world is an illusion and the reality is that which is spiritual of which the world is but a mere shadow.

yes, one day everyone shall leave the matter matrix, for a moment or forever =)
i use this analogy: the ladder to ascend into higher consciousness has many broken rungs, and our job is to fix the rungs for ourselves and for people who wish to ascend.
yea, yea, it's a cult and all. they made some good memes nonetheless.

Great example. For me Bitcoin is very much part of my awakening.

The implementation is a lamppost on the path of zen. The subsequent adoption has been an exercise in grasping.
