RE: From Existentialism to Mysticism

in #spirituality6 years ago (edited)

A thought provoking essay.

For me, “religion” is more about man imposing constraint over spirituality and the Divine – trying to conform and shrink the infinite to something man can comfortably control. “Faith” for me is embracing spirituality and recognizing the infinite “omni” of the Divine.

I personally think, perhaps, that “metaphysical” may be a more apt term because it encompasses mysticism and spirituality and the pursuit of understanding the Divine, as well as trying to understand our place in these concepts and the place of those concepts in the hard reality of our human existence and evolution.

Thanks, for sharing your thoughts. Such matters are so intimate, they hardly withstand debate (for example, in Islam, the Quran is considered the word of God, hardly the work of men). But, I think I understand what you mean. Peace 🙏🏼
