With this stuff everything boils down to how you answer a simple question (which usually most people hardly think about or are encouraged to think about) which is - Do you know how to produce Faith?
In yourself (or others). Faith that you can do things, no one including yourself thinks you can.
If you sit down and think about that question, and spend time experimenting with different answers, what you will come up with, wont be too different from what all the religions of the world or djoko comes up with to generate Faith. Which is stories. myths. imagery. rituals etc. The more faith you need to generate the more absurd the methods can look to an external observer. But what matters is not the absurdity (especially if its not hurting anyone else) but whether the methods have caused your Faith gauge to see an uptick.
So go try and see what you come up for yourself or for someone else, next time there is a big challenge ahead. It will help you understand what you see others trying to do.
