The understanding and employment of inner-plane energies came to be called religion.

"The effort more adequately to adapt to life on earth through understanding and employing inner-plane energies and to continue to find satisfaction for the three irrepressible drives after physical dissolution, came in later times, to be called religion.


Instead of some foggy notion as to what religion is, all should recognize that today and at all times in the past, it consists of the effort to employ nonphysical means to find on earth more ample satisfaction for the drive for nutrition, the drive for reproduction and the drive for significance.

And to find satisfaction for these three drives for as long a period as possible on the inner-plane."
