somehow... if any spiritual group invites me to participate, I say: 
only if you let me play, because thats my way...

somehow like brain washing, in a good way, no?

right, the developpment if the shrine is not really the aim, but the 
constant use of it to go your (or "the loopers") way and develop 
personally and help others to do so.
I must say that to myself often. I use almost the same setup for 15 
years - after I developed it intensly for 10 years...
Actually a not enough considered question in daily life:
Do I do something so the thing is done (helps others) or to grow 
while doing it?
Do the people that plant the rice I eat do it to feed me or to grow 
themselves?

It often reminds me of a drug, too:
If you use it in a way you need more of it every day, you use it wrongly!
(growing loops are dangerous :-)
