I don’t get the mangling of “spiritual” with any other useful, clear noun (abstract or concrete) that works better with no obfuscating baggage.

I don’t say that wireless works by “vibrations through the ether” or my lust for a cutie is “an exchange of tantric energies flowing twixt our essences”.

I was laughing up until now. I am a huge fan of the science of the very small, and I am constantly questioning/contemplating the nature of reality (among other perplexing things, like the origin of existence). I do not necessarily believe in any kind of God-like creature or intelligence out there, but nor am I insane enough to dismiss the idea entirely. Although there is likely no God or Creator, I am perplexed by reality, the ten-eleven dimensions, and plant life. Yes, plant life!!! I mean, those things are literally alive. They send chemical messages to each other to communicate, and they can defend themselves with chemicals. Also, the smaller in scale we go for power, the stronger this power is. Nuclear power is way stronger than steam or oil, and they’re saying that on the Plank scale, there is enough energy in one tiny, insignificant-seeming amount of space to create a big bang. These things fascinate me, almost humble me. I do not believe in a creator, but I am completely in awe with life, nature and the universe. I am spiritual, in that regard. I meditate, I dream, I make goals and aspirations and I am totally engaged with life and people. And it is beautiful.

‘Level 5‘? Orange, eh? Mmm, does that apply to J&M readers? I’d prefer blue – it goes better with my eyes.

If it’s not too much trouble, perhaps you could provide a brief explanation of what ‘some spiritual beliefs are higher than rationality‘ actually means.

I won’t hold my breath.

Dear author:

please find and read a brief synopsis of spiral dynamics by clare graves. you are a level 5.

also: please look up the pre/post fallacy and study it. prerational religion resembles postrational religion to you because it’s all non-rational. turns out some spiritual beliefs are higher than rationality.

To answer that question, Lo:
If there’s no god, then there’s no “why”.
