"...those of a more 'New-Age' disposition see spirituality as the active connection to some force/power/energy/spirit, facilitating a sense of a deep self." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirituality So, for you, the bottom line is a belief in a 'spiritual world' of 'spirits' or 'souls', and in the spiritual context, you believe that every individual has a personal soul-monad, a self, that is somehow connected to all the other spirit-souls in the universe? And, you believe that the spiritual entities, the soul-monads, are *exactly* the same as the Great Soul Spirit, the Self. "...of or relating to supernatural beings or phenomena" http://www.merriam-webster.com/netdict/spiritual > I accept *nothing* as "inherently and > indisputably cool." > Except that you believe in the individual soul spirits and the Great Soul Spirit, which you think is an indisputably cool belief. So, how many souls are there in the universe? There must be billions of them. But, there is only one Great Soul Spirit? Does that make any sense? Why would there not be a Great Soul Spirit for every individual soul-spirit? > Is that bad? > Only if you believe in the spirit-world but then try to deny it, and then cast aspersions on others who do not believe in soul-spirits like you believe in them - that's bad.
