Thank you, Piotr. I starting reading a book by Frawley, hoping to learn something about the religion from the time of the Rig Vedas, and was disappointed to learn that the whole book was dedicated to showing how the poets of the RV didn´t *really* mean what they wrote, but that instead the whole thing was an elaborate code for greater spiritual truths. Right.
Of course, I am disagreeing with Frawley in my very presentation of his ideas, since according to him the Vedas weren´t actually written but rather discovered. OK.
