So, to conclude, future-focused teleology as conceived by most religions is downplayed or at least nuanced by NŚT, even as it is affirmed that 1) there is such a thing as awakening; 2) if you’re not yet fully awake and free, you can be (indeed, you will be, if that is your heart’s desire); and 3) NŚT offers you the necessary guidance to experientially actualize that reality.
