Electromagnetic worship

I think it could operate on three scales with associated structures/devices:

The Church of Assisted Belief (which could actually be a Hairdressers...): where a congregation gather to share a communal experience.

Assisted Belief at Home (shrine): for regular ritualised private worship.

AB 'on the Fly' (needing portable head-gear): for a spiritual moment wherever, whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Catholic equivalents of these scales would be The Church, Shrine and Rosary.





The Hairdressing analogy equivalents would therefore be as follows:

Church

Shrine

Rosary (it's a portable drying hood)


This is an older version of the portable hood but much nicer


I think the hairdressing analogy is nice for the 'congregational' notion, but because this could actually use hairdryers I'm beginning to get confused. So now I will stop.
