Then spirituality becomes a religion which can’t tolerate other religions.

@OriginalDumbMan It can become a religion if the spiritual state is captured by the mind for mass transmission. This is why it would be good if this sub-forum is kept free of clutter.

@sree251 you said “ It can become a religion if the spiritual state is captured by the mind for mass transmission. ”

Don’t you want spiritually to reach masses. Means there is something wrong with it.

The only things I want to reach masses are food, clothing, and shelter. I don't think we should mess with people's minds.

@sree251 There is enough resources on earth for everybody if everyone lives peacefully. But then war, politics etc. cause destruction, thus no food and clothing.

We have always been killing each other despite the awareness of the consequences. And yet, whenever I meet someone, there is instant rapport.

There is something very strange about human nature. As you said, there is enough resources for everyone; and yet, there is endemic poverty in every society. It gets worse as we change and speed up the way we live technologically.

Human nature, flawed as it is, is becoming more inhuman with advancement in technology. The faster we live,the more mechanical we become, and the less spiritual.
