Religion versus Spirituality

The first gulp of the glass makes you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass, God is waiting for you.
(Werner Heisenberg)

Tell your children fairy tales for they are closer to the truth than what is going on in your head sometimes. Tell your children about love, respect, honesty, integrity and the sisterhood of man for it is a pretty good approximation of the 'beyond' that we like to capture. Yet, go easy on all religious description of God for this Force can only communicate the complexity of the Universe one by one. Everyone has a deeply personal psychological starting point and will discover this Force in a different way. The scientist will discover Her via the beauty of Her Creation, this poet will discover Her via love for nature and people. True, at the end of the road we are all religious because the word religion comes from the root 'to tie'. Once you have seen Her you will never let go. And as you walk in Her Presence, you are finally free.
