Non-Duality
I understand now why I flinch at the word "spirituality".
It's an either/or word. If I am "this" I cannot be "that". If I am "spiritual" I cannot be whatever the opposite is- "materialistic", I suppose.
But why insist on the opposition? Why insist on the emnity of the two states?
There is only One Universe. And all the divisions within in it are illusory. The quarrels we have, the wars we wage are all games. The spiritual being and the materialist come off stage, remove their make-up and go down the pub and have a drink together.....
