TheTick247 says Jun 26, 2008 06:00PM I don't claim to know, but wouldn't it take more than 140 characters to explain?
Jane Chin says Jun 26, 2008 08:07PM an example is someone who is said to be materialistic vs. one who is said to be "spiritual".
Jane Chin says Jun 26, 2008 08:08PM another example I'm thinking of is whether one can blend business approach with spiritual approach.
Jane Chin has Jun 26, 2008 08:08PM seen ego-bashing by so-called gurus who claim to be enlightened. I think we have egos for specific reasons and it's all about perspective.
Jane Chin wants Jun 26, 2008 10:33PM to find a happy blend of head and heart where both contribute to one's conscious evolution
LivSimpl.com Jun 26, 2008 10:48PM What are everyone's thoughts on spirituality and/or organized religion? Just curious.
Jane Chin thinks Jun 26, 2008 10:56PM an analogy is critical thinking and science. one (science) is supposed to foster another (thinking) but sometimes cause becomes the effect.
Jane Chin says Jun 26, 2008 11:13PM i'm not sure i agree, gassho ... spirituality is a desired effect of religion and is more cause-effect than 2 tracks aiming to meet
LivSimpl.com Jun 26, 2008 11:17PM I agree w/ janechin. New question: what is spirituality? Is it a belief in God? Discuss.
LivSimpl.com Jun 26, 2008 11:19PM gasso - That's a fairly broad statement considering how many different types of religions there are out there.
Jane Chin thinks Jun 26, 2008 11:53PM the original intent of religion is to create access to spirituality, but ego loves to set up structures and rites, and behold, religion.
Jane Chin thinks Jun 26, 2008 11:53PM and religions themselves aren't necessarily antithetical to attaining spirituality, but ego loves to interpret, and behold, fundamentalism.
Jane Chin asks Jun 27, 2008 03:31AM and who says we can't go deep in 140 characters or less (Ok some of us write multiple strings but STILL!)
Jane Chin Jun 27, 2008 04:26AM livsimpl usually true for those that provide evidence and historical lineage of rationale for rite or structure. "I said so" doesn't count.
Jane Chin has Jun 27, 2008 08:28PM no problem admitting I don't know/can't explain everything and the fact that "science" by definition is aimed at seeking truth.
Jane Chin has Jun 27, 2008 08:28PM also observed that some scientists behave similarly to fundamentalists in narrowmindedness and intolerance for other p.o.v.
SandyBBerry says Jun 28, 2008 03:55PM Listen to the echoes... those thoughts and ideas you return to. Watch your dreams for repeating themes. Our hearts speak.
Jane Chin likes Jun 28, 2008 07:15PM sandybberry 's suggestion of listening to echoes. I'm learning to hold a thought in my heart and feel what comes.
