You seem to think that the spiritual journey is very humanizing, that it doesn't take us to a higher realm necessarily but helps get rid of the illusions and obstacles that prevent us from thriving in this realm.Matt Boswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07060392531688906553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4761299353572567490.post-31182551815842625872012-09-14T08:54:21.673-07:002012-09-14T08:54:21.673-07:00What is spirituality? /// The search for the "...What is spirituality? /// The search for the "true" self.<br /><br />Is spirituality a good thing? /// Yes, it reveals in the person a willingness to "let go" of their held assumptions about life and self.
