Tiggy,
Very gutsy of you to try to shed some light on the
Spiritual experience. Often when the most sincere
of us try, we come off like serious wackos.
Your effort seems genuine and open minded.
Others would define it in such certain terms, that
they are willing to burn a disbeliever at the stake.
And though Religions claim the spiritual world to be
their domain, through some franchising arrangement
with God, few if any can point you to a genuine
experience of the spirit. Such an experience is
easier to act upon than to explain. It will charge
a dull day with lifes vibrance, but will turn it to
dull again the moment one tries to explain it.
Divine essense, soul, transcendance, crankshaft, thrust
bearing, carburettor, all clumsy mechanical words,
like an alchemists pots and pans, seeking to make
gold from the clumsy elements of intellect.
Who is the more spiritual? billionaire Ted Turner
or the Ayotollah Khomeni. Be very,very careful how
you answer.
Sincerely
Pearse
