Spirituality is meant to take us beyond our tribal identity into a domain of awareness that is more universal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The new spirituality is that it will produce an experience in human encounters in which we become a living demonstration of the basic spiritual teaching 'We are all one.'
People are drawn to the spiritual. It has a universal appeal.
Spirituality is deeply personal. Yet, society has to face the fact that certain faiths celebrate spirituality through an overt expression of inner convictions.
Most importantly, the meaning of spirituality lays the seeds for our destiny and the path we must follow.
We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Spirituality is no different from what we've been doing for two thousand years just by going to church and receiving the sacraments, being baptized, learning to pray, and reading Scriptures rightly. It's just ordinary stuff.
Remember, we are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
The spiritual quest is not some added benefit to our life, something you embark on if you have the time and inclination. We are spiritual beings on an earthly journey. Our spirituality makes up our beingness.
In order to experience everyday spirituality, we need to remember that we are spiritual beings spending some time in a human body.
Spiritual identity means we are not what we do or what people say about us. And we are not what we have. We are the beloved daughters and sons of God.
