Spirituality is experiencing who you are beyond small mental definitions, rituals, relationships. For this reason it renders traditional religion impotent because religion can only reach as far as the mind can go
The spiritual life for Teresa and John has nothing to do with actually getting closer to God. It is instead a journey of consciousness. Union with God is neither acquired nor received; it is realized, and in that sense it is something that can be yearned for, sought after, and—with God’s grace—found.
Gerald G. May • The Dark Night of the Soul
Spirituality, for me, is about tapping into the deep sources of our own power and love, and the lifelong challenge of bringing them together in practice.
Dr Jonathan Rowson • The Spiritual and the Political: Beyond Russell Brand
Religion is cultural mythology. Spirituality is self awareness. They have nothing in common.
