Or maybe the ancient Janns figured it out.

Or maybe the ancient Buddhists figured it out.

Or maybe...none of them did.

I may choose . . . item #2, pragmatically evolved, if the price is right and there are no more than 100 new terms of uncertain definition to learn. #1, inspired, and #3, revealed, are more popular and in demand, and like California housing are priced out of the market for my modest means. Otherwise, #4, social tradition, will continue to jockey for position with #5, mindless ritual, during my periodic propitiatory moments.
