Religion is a gift from our ancestors but spirituality is hardwired into humans.
Science tells us what many of us know… all of us, are innately hardwired to be loved, guided and never alone. We are also hardwired to share that love, guidance and togetherness.
In the way we have physical fitness for our physical core, we need spiritual fitness for our spiritual core. Those who are spiritually fit have more robust and resilient brains. They are less likely to get depressed, find it easier to grieve, recover from trauma and die. The spiritually fit are 80% less likely to be addicted and 60% less likely to commit suicide... every mystic needs statistics.
Neuroscience tells us the best way to build spiritual fitness is to love and serve your neighbour. When we feel a deep connection to all life, we are more aware of our impact and make personal, community, political and business decisions that impact people and the planet in a more sustainable and sustaining way.
Spirituality is our muse, spirituality awakens us… Humanity is designed to be an open system, so religious or not stay open, we all share a birthright to see into the deeper nature of life...
We are all on a spiritual quest. We are all transcendent. We are all believers.
