Spirituality is religion with the dogma cut away. Much of what we read, per Gurumayi Chidvilasananda (type that three times fast! :) is just to keep our minds busy so that the important stuff can sneak in the back.

I was forced to chop away all excess to stay alive. I have had experiences that leave me floating with ties in too many directions. Maybe only a higher power or the Source or the Bliss can see how it all fits together.

But we are human; we can be curious, exchange ideas, and comfort each other as needed, can't we? ...Hugs!
