The "Russ" are a rite of pasdage indeed. I consider it like how the amish do. At a certain age their young ones get to taste the carnal sins, so that as a human being they can chose; the love and light of christ consciousness, or drunken stupor. Some fall to the wayside. But this is the way; Free Will.
I would imagine it also has some roots in the logic of "we need more babies to ensure our peoples' survival" ..
Babies with christ consciousness are not borne from two couples lusting after eachother and having orgasms on account of carnal attraction. But the conjoint creation and joy from its contemplation.
...thats a point I had not though of, and didn't cross my mind. Interesting.
