Why do we seek an expert for our bodies and our money, but blindly follow a stranger in matters of the soul? This episode of RESTART confronts the ultimate hypocrisy of modern life by exposing the difference between a true expert and a fraud. We argue that any religion based on hearsay and imitation is "the work of a monkey," a mindless act of copying that can never lead to salvation. Mysticism, in contrast, is the path of experts—those who have a direct, personal, and repeatable connection to the divine.

This episode reveals the true, mystical definitions of religion, secularism, and atheism, proving that secularism is a political lie and all organized religions are just fragmented "beads" that have been cut from the living "chain" of truth. We use the most direct analogies to make a point: your spiritual practice without direct experience is as meaningless as a donkey's pilgrimage to Mecca. This episode is a call to a higher path, a path where you stop being a follower and start the arduous but necessary journey to become an expert on your own soul.
