Look beanie now i haven't time to waste but one day i will teach you what is the difference between
ritual and realization.
Have a good day anyway.
Man, I wish you knew how words and definitions worked. You act like you're the smartest goddamn person alive, yet you repeatedly demonstrate that you have no concept of how to properly use language. It's like your brain is a big soup of words that just fall out of your mouth with no rules, rhyme, or reason.
Any daily routine performed with spiritual intent is a ritual. Again...ANY DAILY ROUTINE PERFORMED WITH SPIRITUAL INTENT IS A RITUAL.
That means if you're doing yoga just for exercise, it's not a ritual; it's just a routine. If you're doing it to realize that you are part of the god-mind, then it is a ritual.
If you're brushing your teeth just to clean them, then it's not a ritual; it's just a routine. If you're doing it to realize that your teeth are one with the tooth god, then it's a ritual.
Your religion is a religion, Rik. Stop acting like your religion isn't a religion.
Something doesn't really work in your pinky brain.
Look at here beanie.
It say..................
.........The English word "ritual" derives from the Latin ritualis, "that which pertains to rite (ritus)". In Roman juridical and religious usage, ritus was the proven way (mos) of doing something,[5] or "correct performance, custom".[6] The original concept of ritus may be related to the Sanskrit ṛtá ("visible order)" in Vedic religion, "the lawful and regular order of the normal, and therefore proper, natural and true structure of cosmic, worldly, human and ritual events".[7] The word "ritual" is first recorded in English in 1570, and came into use in the 1600s to mean "the prescribed order of performing religious services" or more particularly a book of these prescriptions.[8]

As you can see was in the 1600 in England that the word ritual was only associate with religion.
Before that his meaning was a lot more broad to indicate almost anything.
So if you really wish to go along with the English imported meaning and not with the original meaning i could also say that you follow a religion.
You dress in pink, you wear a beanie, you act like a clown and so on.
You follow religion beanie.
Your religion is a religion beanie.
