Level 1 – G. Religious Experience

Personal God
Protection of the own small circle

Childlike religious experience is still close to mythical consciousness. God is experienced as a person,
omnipotent protector, helper and punisher to whom you can talk directly as if to a wise parent. Religious
texts and stories are taken literally. A magical power is attributed to actions and even thoughts. So this is
still very close to the mythical level of consciousness.
Even as adults, we have a layer from which we have such a direct religious experience: guardian angels
who are near, God who answers personally.
Sometimes people get stuck at this level: God, or The Universe is then mainly there to protect, support and comfort their little circle. This experience of the personal God can remain fixed at this filial level or can evolve along to higher levels of comprehensiveness.

In Bitcoin-Leadership this is the young enchantment that we can foster. It is very important to remember that humans are able to attribute value to scarcity. This is both a rational and religious act. An often heard objection to Bitcoin is: but it has no intrinsic value. This is true and the same goes for gold or silver or fiat money. Our capacity to attribute value to an abstract process is related to this young form of religious experience. If we want to keep our soul alive, we should foster this pure form of religious experience.
