Ok, the weekend is upon me once again so I can sleep in late this evening so : ), here’s a question. I’ve noticed over time that there is always a lively discussion about “religion” but very little about “spirituality”, at least that I know of. So here it is, what and how do you all think or feel about that vague thing we call spirituality, if and how it may diverge from religion or if not at all?

Just to add a little something interesting to the mix I’m going to try and insert a link to an interesting article about a study done at the University Pennsylvania school of medicine where they imaged brains of people while speaking in tongues.

I will only add, that for my self I have always found that religion, or if you will religiosity, is something we do intellectually, and that spirituality is something that verges more to the metaphysical for which we do not have to a great degree, or very limited, the ability to study with hard science. I often wonder if “all there is” is what we can observe with the science we have at our disposal, is there more, which we can not measure with traditional forms of reason.?


People will tell you where they've gone
They'll tell you where to go
But till you get there yourself you never really know
Where some have found their paradise
Other's just come to harm
