My favorite quotation can apply to every spiritual person:<br /><br /><i>“There is one who sings the song of his soul, discovering in his soul everything: utter spiritual fulfillment. Then there is one who expands even further until he unites with all existence, with all creatures, with all worlds, singing a song with <br />all of them.”</i> Abraham Isaac Kook JRon Krumposhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05371279514024960026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552001755225276231.post-91606228668389922942010-05-25T16:56:34.040-04:002010-05-25T16:56:34.040-04:00Well, I said that I wasn't going to get into t...Well, I said that I wasn't going to get into the larger thesis of the book, but since Ron brought this up...<br /><br />While I definitely don't believe that every religion is really the same thing, I <i>do</i> think that that claim can probably be fairly made about spirituality (and mysticism, which isn't the same thing, but is related). Religions are about more than just spirituality (at least Judaism is), but when you look just at those parts of religion, I think you see remarkable overlap. And, I can easily quote thinkers such as Rabbis Abraham Joshua Heschel and Adin Steinsaltz to back me up!Rabbi Jason Rosenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03718650670542762857noreply@blogger.com
