Sioux Indian Vine Deloria provides the quote for today:
“Religion
is for people who are afraid of going to hell.
Spirituality is for those who have already
been there.”
This may appear to be counter intuitive at first. But think
again. Spirituality has much to do with the individual ~ his or her search for
meaning and connection to the vastness of the universe. It is not tied to a
specific religion or theology. No dogma. You good sense of being and in balance
with the world around you.
Religion usually gets bogged down in too many fine points.
Yet spirituality is an aid to religion. It is good for meditation, calming
frayed nerves, finding serenity and so much more.
Personally I won’t pooh pooh religion. It has been very
important to my life. And I feel certain it will remain so. But there is value
in self examination from a point of calm poise.
Think. Meditate. Peel back the onion layers of your life.
Get to the core. Find peace there. Then venture out to your new day.
Have a wonderful, relaxing and fruitful weekend!
