"Originally priests were instructors, they passed out the mysteries and revelations to the masses. Increasingly, they say "you don’t need to have a religious experience, we are having that for you. That’s what we are here for." Eventually, they start saying ‘you don’t need to have a religious experience, and neither do we. We’ve got this book about some people who — a thousand years ago — had a religious experience. And if you come in on Sunday, we’ll read you a bit of that and you’ll be sorted, don’t you worry.” Effectively a portcullis has slammed down between the individual and their godhead. ‘You can’t approach your godhead except through us now. We are the only path. Our church is the only path.’ But that is every human being’s birthright, to have ingress to their godhead."
