Date Posted:02/07/2007 9:47 AMCopy HTML The Temple of Beatlism is an electronic house of worship and meditation, dedicated to the discovery of self and Universe through the contemplation of the "Inner Beatles".
The religion known as Beatlism has been around for about a year. It was developed by two ne'er-do-wells during a road trip to Las Vegas. The basic concept is this: inside of everyone, there are four Beatles. These Beatles are constantly interacting with one another to form your self: your spiritual, emotional, mental core. At different times and in different people, individual Beatles can gain predominance, and thus control of the self (i.e. you may be in a stage of "RINGO" or experience a "PAUL" phase).
The goal of life is to reach a balance of the inner Beatles. Known in some circles simply as "the upper John", this state realizes the ultimate coordination where the sum of the individual Beatles overcomes its parts. Furthermore, one must realize that there are two forces at work within us, that cause the dynamic change of the relationships between our inner Beatles. One of these forces, known as "the Yoko", acts to push the individual inner Beatles apart, and cause disharmony within the whole. The other, known as "the George Martin" acts to unify the four inner Beatles, and causes them to create new levels of consciousness within the self. The religion draws on a bizarre mixture of psychological, philosophical, and spiritual sources to explain these inner workings. As an organized church, the religion is in its early days. While a spiritual leader has been proclaimed (Pope George Ringo the Cannibal), there is as of yet no official place of worship or even a canon of laws. However, since debuting on the internet some 6 months ago, the faith has grown by leaps and bounds.
The message of Beatlism has reached the corners of the globe (references on request), as thousands have proclaimed their alliance to Pope George Ringo and the order of the Inner Beatles.

Re:Beatlism Date Posted:02/07/2007 10:36 PMCopy HTML My boys have a DVD copy of the Yellow Submarine. One of them knows all the words to the YS song, and is a big fan.
I've always loved the 'fab four', and find a lot of their stuff inspirational. They certainly were a major influence in the world, and were a voice of the times. I particularly liked George, a much more spiritually aware guy than the others (it would seem). But form a religion around them?..... What next?! Oh well, I guess it could be worse! Dog.
