Deidre's Ramblings

I'm not sucking on that.

Ran across a really interesting article (I thought so, anyways) talking about how spirituality doesn't need to be relegated by faith. And how faith is not necessary to calling one's self ...spiritual. You don't have to believe in the supernatural, or higher power, to be considered...spiritual. I find the idea of naturalism to be pretty cool, in general. Thought this was worth posting, I'd be curious as to your thoughts.

Interesting idea to base spirituality on knowing that you can't and will never know the answers, rather than answers that haven't been proven. The article reminds me a little of Sam Harris' "Waking Up." But he focuses on mindfulness meditation which I find to be quite difficult. Meditation of a much simpler variety I used to be pretty good at. The overarching idea of his book was that you can eventually experience a oneness, like some get from using....IIRC LSD, through meditation.

Good points. I like meditation, in all forms, really. It's so helpful to just tune out life around you for a while, if nothing else, doesn't even have to be that in depth. It just helps to hear your own voice once in a while, which isn't always easy in a world saturated with social media, friends, family, etc telling us how to be. Sam Harris is kinda cool, I need to read his thoughts on mindfulness meditation.
