Spirituality Outside the Box

To all those who understand and appreciate the difference between religion and spirituality, and wish to grow in their spiritual lives inspired by Jesus Christ. For the record, institutional religion—Catholic and other Christian churches—have focused on preserving dogmas, beliefs, practices and rituals. A very valuable service. However, they have taught these spiritual realities with an emphasis on the rational mind. The problem? Our rational minds cannot access the spiritual. If we want to move from belief systems to actual inner experience, to deep spiritual lives, we must think outside the box— the box being our purely rational minds.
