Spiritual, But Not Religious? (with Father Thomas Keating)

Religion is a cancer to the world and humanity. They limit human spirituality and deminish what it is to be alive.

Great insight to

Checking the comments once again clearly illustrates that RELIGION itself has been humanities bane since it's very inception. Yes, I dare say it 'religion, is the root of all evil'! ok, maybe not all evil. But there is no denying that historically more wars have been fought, and more people have been killed for religious reasons than any other... oh errr, wait, it's not just historically, is it? People are still killed, and wars are still being fought in 'the name of religion' even today...

@ClaudeusGothicus yeah ken wilber explains psychologically how its becuz ppl have been at too low a developmental level to allow others to be themselves. but spirituality, NOT RELIGION, provides methods of accelerating psychological growth. do u get how important that is?

@theeonionbagel more specifically, meditation has been empirically proven to do this. to facilitate feelings of love, peace and compassion, and to help us transcend our nasty shadows

yes, I agree meditation is very beneficial on many levels. however my comment didn't address spirituality, only religion; and more specifically, which I should have stated clearly, organized religion. spirituality and religion are not necessarily the same thing. you might note that my comment was in reference to the prior postings, and was not a commentary on the content of this video.

MORE THAN 500 people saw Jesus after death. Documents were written within 20-30 years after death about his RESSURECTION. How could thos have so much power? Besides...the message is truly revolutionary...Love one another love God...WOW....the people who are truly human really understand Jesus.

From my understanding jesus, Yeshu, Yeshuah was a devout Jew as was his bro James. In fact it was Paul who drifted from the jewish path and allowing non torah keeping people into the new faith. Jesus always said he didnt come to change the law (torah)

You should Simone Weil
She is a Jew who became a christian mystic and talks about the process of decreation in order to understand the true reality. However she refused to become a catholic becuase she didnt want to be part of a collectivity the same way she felt about her jewish background, hence why she struggled with the concept of anarchism which for me is the true utopia
