Spirituality

The more I read the news these days, the more obvious seems to me, the suspicion that spirituality is becoming some kind of a new religion. It is very fashionable nowadays to practice some kind of a fancy named therapy or healing, and when some women on TV was asked what kind of practices will be used in her newly founded society, she simply replied, anything that works. What a hypo-criticism… Isn’t this part of ourselves supposed to be made out of our most intimate and our deepest believes? And not to be polluted with every wannabe spiritual practice (huge business has grown out of this) that comes our way and is lucky enough to show us some quick term (very questionable most of the times) result? More and more I get the feeling that huge majority of these people only seek some kind of rebellion to our current mainstream religions and have no real intention to head themselves on a road of self-exploration and a search of their life’s meaning and finding their own purpose of existence. But what is the point of all that then?

So I still believe that it really doesn’t matter what religion, spiritual practice or something else you choose for yourself, as long as it follows it’s purpose: to get to know yourself better, expand your wisdom and find the answers to your life’s most intimate questions of existence, purpose, etc. Because you will always be your strictest judge and I bet (at least for myself) that you wouldn’t want to have to realize at the end, that you spent all your life for some sloppy teachings with no real value, while barely knowing yourself, not knowing of all the potential and mysterious depths, we all humans are blessed with.
