Spirituality
All of us, by nature, are spiritual. It is innate in each of us, regardless of our age, race, religion or non-religion.
Spirituality was in existence since the beginning of creation. Religion came much later, seeking to nurture and celebrate spirituality. Sometimes it does, and sometimes it does not.
Spirituality means relating in ways that are mutually life giving. It embodies and celebrates our inter-connectedness, not only with others, but also with nature, with our very self, with higher power….however one knows that to be, and with those who have gone before us, and those who will come after us.
Spirituality is a lived experience, a conscious involvement in the project of life integration via self-transcendence toward the ultimate value one perceives.
Spirituality’s ultimate purpose is integration, ever in ways that are mutually life-giving.
