For the first time really, explicitly, in my session with Dr. C. yesterday, I articulated as well as I ever have my own version of Natural Religion; i.e., those things which I do religiously. In the first place, as a devotee of my own cult, I define myself: A steward, or caretaker, of (1) my physical/psychic self, and of (2) the physical/psychic universe. As the caretaker of myself I have the obligation to maintain my health and well-being; to see that I am adequately fed and housed, that I take the medicines my body requires, that I practise the rules of hygiene that I have, by inclination and reflection, determined as necessary for me-in-particular (suitable exercize, flossing and brushing my teeth, one complete bath a day, always washing my butt when I poop). As a caretaker of the universe, I am governed by the principles of (1) appreciation and understanding of every kind of character of things living and non-living; of (2) reverence/deference/sustenance of sentient beings; these being, in order of deference and reverence: The sick and afflicted, the young, those things which are cute, those things which are capable of cuteness, the virtuously intelligent, the virtuous, the old (who are cute or in their second childhood), and lastly, everything and everbody else about which or whom I know too little to judge and may therefore suppose to be worthy of deference and reverence. This means that all deference and reverence, except normal civility, cease when if ever I do judge them unworthy--and if I can't just ignore them then normal civility ceases too.
