Morality is a different meme than the “God” meme, so, despite the usual conflation of the God meme chord with the Morality meme, the Morality meme may be held and successfully deployed without reference to any particular religion. In that case, Morality becomes part of the philosophical meme chord called Ethics and is considered necessary for the smooth operation of civil society. Those who do not espouse any particular religious memes may still embrace a strong morality meme held in a secular ethical chord.

Despite the many memes religions have in common, it is the exoteric memes they do not share --memes of saints and saviors, official histories, and other idiosyncratic, traditional beliefs--that define them and set them apart. It is the memes they do not share that give rise to the world’s diverse religions, denominations, and sects. People generally stick with comfortable, habitual memes and are somewhat disinterested in acquiring others’ unfamiliar memes.

How many of these iconic religious memes can you identify?

Esoteric memes are less well-known than exoteric memes because they are either so difficult to understand that only advanced devotees can manage, or because they are secrets purposely withheld from all but an inner circle of believers. Secret esoteric memes would include Temple rites and other priestly rituals, and hidden texts that only a select few are allowed to see.

The Simple Explanation differentiates between the intentional withholding of secret memes and memes that are authentically esoteric. Truly esoteric memes are not secrets withheld from the many and only shared with a few. Authentic esoterica is information that can be personally accessed by any individual, and in that sense is “hidden” only until the individual decides to access it. Yet, despite the free availability of these esoteric memes, relatively few people seek them out.

“Eyes to See”

The good news is that no one can withhold true "communion of the soul with God" from you. This is because there are no particular memes that must be collected in order to reach God, but rather the opposite—memes must be lost. By letting go of habitual memes, one’s governing Self Unit of Consciousness intuitively aligns itself with the metaversal principles embodied by the Universal Unit of Consciousness. During these periods of alignment, "firsthand knowledge of Reality" may be glimpsed. In Sanskrit, this intuitive glimpse is called “samadhi”. When one is able to sustain the meme-suspended state, this is called nirvikalpa samadhi—beyond duality.

If one adopts the Simple Explanation's definition of meme-based vs. intuitive knowledge, then esoteric knowledge of God is truly available to any and every seeker at all times. The only limitation is one’s willingness to suspend egoic attachment to one’s treasured meme bundle long enough for the governing UC to align with the Universal Unit of Consciousness.

Ancient Gnosticism is an Abrahamic meme bundle that relies on just this sort of introspective enlightenment. In Gnosticism it is thought that redemption has already been given to all. One only needs to recognize and receive it.

When all memes are set aside, when thought and language are suspended, the Self Unit of Consciousness remains.
