Why do we think religion when we say spirit? Or why are those who say they are spiritual, not religious, have such a hard time stating what that means as they slip into some quasi-mystical aloofness? Why are the religious so insistent on traditional practices (ex: rock music or traditional hymns) when most of their religions began by breaking open calcified traditions?
We have abandoned soul in our seeking spirit, and in spirit we abandon the earth. We are more interested in "getting away from" than "getting into."
There are many reasons this has happened and most of them began with the marginalizing of anything that appeared numinous, mysterious, and one time events; curiously, the hallmarks of both religion and spirituality as espoused yet not practiced today.
Maybe its time to reclaim our souls from the Sirens of materialism and spiritualism. What say?
