auti-spiritual(ism)

  Yes, I added a warning.  I do not wish to offend.  I do not intend to, and I endeavour not to.  But I have noticed that some people can be particularly offended by ideas they disagree with.  So, be warned.  You might disagree with a lot of what is written here. Now that that is over, let’s get on with my intro. It’s been a while.   I can see my last Spiritually inspired post was 5 years ago.   Wow! doesn’t time fly when one is being introspective! It has been a very interesting time.   So, the blog is now being updated.   It will be, as always, offering reflections and hopefully be as objective as I intend it to be. I will also start discussing some new philosophical concepts about the Universe and Spirituality.   New tags: ð   Post-Spiritual(ism) .   My beliefs are still spiritual.   My perspective is post-Spiritual.   So, the tag post-Spiritual(ism) refers specifically to Philosophical discussion...

  Those who have known me for some time or followed one of my blogs will be aware of my stance on Faith and Religion: Faith is a journey! I have come to believe that we are on a spiritual journey.   Most of us start with a birth-given religion.   We can then navigate a range of different beliefs and philosophies.   A common path is that we may move from a “formal” religion to a more “spiritual” type of religion.   We then can move on to a “spiritual” essence that transcends religions. This is often accompanied by a feeling that we are indeed part of something greater, however nowhere this is defined in clear and exact terms. Religion is not enough.   Spirituality is not enough.   Science … well science has some interesting ideas, but it certainly is not enough to explain the essence of existence. This is how we become post-Spiritual. Accepting the Spiritual ideology but trying to understand the science behind it.   But it is principa...
