Unfortunately, in the case of "spirit"uality - by proxy. Find me a "spirit" that doesn't exemplify some human trait or range of traits. What exactly are we embracing when we embrace those stylized examples of ourselves -if not- ourselves? I'd call being "spiritual" alot of things, but I wouldn't call it escapism - even if the "spiritual" person is of the opinion that it offers such an avenue.
Bit like trying to escape the wolves by cornering yourself in their den, but that's just my opinion.
the headlines are filled daily with those embracing the animal nature of self.
