The Goal Of Spiritual Life Is Not

I Am Very Orthodox In Thinking That Jesus Acted In His Life The Way God Would Have Acted If God Had Assumed Human Form.

A Religion Made Up Solely Of Heightened Religious Experiences Would Not Be A Religion At All. ...the Major Religious Traditions Address The Mysteries (with Or Without Entheogens), But They Have Other Business To Do: Widen Understanding, Give Meaning, Provide Solace, Promote Loving-kindness, And Connect Human Being To Human Being.

Ancient Wisdom And Quantum Physicists Make Unlikely Bedfellows: In Quantum Mechanics The Observer Determines (or Even Brings Into Being) What Is Observed, And So, Too, For The Tiwis, Who Dissolve The Distinction Between Themselves And The Cosmos. In Quantum Physics, Subatomic Particles Influence Each Other From A Distance, And This Tallies With The Aboriginal View, In Which People, Animals, Rocks, And Trees All Weave Together In The Same Interwoven Fabric.

With Mind Distracted, Never Thinking, "death Is Coming," To Slave Away On The Pointless Business Of Mundane Life, And Then To Come Out Empty--it Is A Tragic Error. (116) Trans By Robert Thurman

So Always, If We Look Back, Concern For Face-to-face Morality, And Its Modern Emphasis On Justice As Well, Have Historically Evolved As Religious Issues.
