The trick, I think, is to realize that we seek out religion because we all need spirituality. But religion is a set of rules and explanations. Whereas to my mind, spirituality is founded in a sense of mystery and awe. To my mind science is much more comfortable with ‘not knowing’ and ‘mystery’ and ‘it’s beyond our understanding’ than most religions or new age practices which seek a fast and easy to understand explanation for everything. So in some ways religion becomes more like a code of conduct, and doesn’t address the deeper need to just be present to, and comfortable with, the ultimate mystery of why we are here and what it all means. When you get comfortable with those questions, I think it’s then possible for you to decide why you are here and what it means to you. Spirituality is like ADHD, different for everyone.
If you went to a university and asked each person, ‘Why are you here at university?’ you’d get ten thousand different answers.
Why should there be one answer for ‘Why are you here in the universe?’
Why are you here? What does it all mean?
That’s for you to answer, isn’t it?
It seems to me that the most famous and inspiring figures in history answered that question for themselves and became unstoppable.
