What most academics are robbed of is the ability to discover most philosophical ideas on their own. A lot of these deep thoughts are quite intuitive to those who pay attention. However, if, before you are able to discover them on your own, schools attach them to unnecessary memes like Descartes, Whitehead, Jesus, Buddha, and whatnot, it can be problematic.  When the time comes that these thoughts finally reveal themselves to you, you may find yourself in delusional mental states like, "I finally understand Whitehead." Even worse, you may succumb to a psychosis like, "Jesus is talking to me." Perhaps the worst outcome would be that, due to one insight that reminds you of the Buddha, you end up indoctrinating yourself with other writings attributed to the Buddha and confuse that with acquiring wisdom.  This, I think, is the biggest flaw with scripture. While the intention may be good-willed, there is no shortcut to acquiring wisdom besides paying attention to your life. Reading and reciting beautiful-sounding phrases is not possessing wisdom; it's simply indulging in art.

The Baganda believe in three fundamental manifestations of life: 1. Katonda: The natural instinct to create. 2. Liso Dene: The natural instinct to observe and analyze. 3. Kintu: The natural awareness of the self as separate from the other. According to the Baganda, the first man—Kintu—represents the moment in evolutionary history when humanity first became aware of its separation from the rest of nature. Liso Dene represents the realization by Kintu that man is incapable of separating himself from nature; that man and nature are one eternally creative force: Katonda. Ultimately, Kintu, Liso Dene, and Katonda are three manifestations of the singular essence of Buganda.

We shouldn’t try to translate Buganda spirituality into scripture. It is simply not compatible with traditions like Hebrew, Christianity, or classical mythology. Most of Buganda spirituality is fundamentally mathematical modelling. One needs a strong intuition for probabilities to make sense of even the mildest Buganda spiritual forms, such as Mayembe. However, we must also be careful not to confuse this with the kind of modelling around the behavior of light that is done in physics. A true Muganda spiritual leader is capable of listening to the wind, which can only interact with one's body through the sense of touch(and dreams), not sight. This important difference is why Buganda forms are incompatible with scribbled sigils and spells, including scripture. The ways of the Baganda can, however, complement scripture. A Muganda who also reads the teachings of Jesus the Christ, Prophet Mohamed, or The Buddha/Krishna is likely to create and coexist in a harmonious environment and society. But a Muganda who abandons their ancestral ways to rely on scripture alone will ultimately be mentally(and therefore spiritually) overwhelmed by the contradictions within that scripture.
