This site offers a few basic tools to build a personal religion or philosophy.
If you take all parts and put them together, you may find a useful base for a personal religion. It is also possible to take only a few separate parts and use them in your own way. Feel free to pick and choose. Just help yourself.
I have always been a supporter of self-help. I like to read books on self improvement, especially in the fields of psychology, philosophy and religion. I am not denying the importance of teachers or authority, but I prefer to make up my own mind as much as possible .
The gamma way is basically a do-it-yourself religion. It is like a cabinet from IKEA that you can tailor to your own personal needs and taste. All parts are continuously tested by me, but that fact alone should not convince you. You have to find out for yourself.
Most of the elementary parts you will find here are not exclusive to the gamma way at all. How could it be otherwise? Countless human lives have been lived before us. All human traditions offer an almost unlimited source of wisdom. You can find the basic elements of the gamma way in many other places, often in more familiar, durable and sacred forms.
The gamma way is only a new way to put these basics together and it should be clear that the whole is much bigger than its separate parts. Put together the parts will become interconnected so they can start to interact in your mind. And that is where the real magic begins.
The complete version of the gamma way is a starter kit for a temple in your mind.
You can use it for the basement only and leave the ground floor for any religious or philosophical tradition you prefer. You will probably discover that the gamma way in the basement matches quite well with whatever you will have on the ground floor.
The ground floor is the main floor. You can even construct several floors. Your mental temple can take the form of a church, a mosque or a shrine.
In the gamma basement you can store and experiment with all ideas that have no place in the main temple.
The temple in my own mind contains elements from many different religious and philosophical traditions. They are arranged according to my own personal experiences and taste.
Part of my mental temple is private space and other parts are permanently under construction. All building materials for these constructions are stored in the basement.
Recently I have started to use the gamma basement as the second ground floor of my inner temple.
As you can see, I even receive visitors there.
