PLEASE! Would you comment on the connection between the mysticism Dr. Quinn so eloquently describes and the article the other day which describes "spirituality" as something subjective and personal, along with the idea you can't have spirituality without religion?
Isn't the essence of what Dr. Quinn is writing about the fact that spirituality is infinite, everywhere, that EVERYTHING (including the vast majority of human endeavors which don't involve the rituals or ideas or beliefs people put under the label 'religion") is spiritual - that spirituality is not some feeling that solipsistically resides in the individual (and come to think of it, isn't a lot of modern religion much more solipsistic? even the Sunday or Saturday morning or Friday evening ritual of talking or preaching on ethics disconnected from the other 140 or so hours of the week?
