What the heck is "spirituality"?

[_Quasimodo]

In mormondom it is a perpetual self induced emotional epiphany which confirms the bias that the Mormon church is "true".

Zeez, this is what the normal skeptical take is and succinctly put. I respect the view, but as a spiritual eliminativist I would change it to, "In Mormondom, it is the learned behavior to speak, whether by pronouncement or implication, as if one has had epiphanies, feelings, experiences, changes in paradigms, moments of peace, and so on induced by the HG, who is "confirming truth".

Gadianton, sadly, Z has left us. He and his moved to the Northwest to start a new life far from the "corridor". Part of his break from the church was a break from this board. Probably a wise decision. He will be missed. The last email I had from him said he was very happy with the move.

Thanks Quasi,

I actually didn't know that.

Also, I have one of the most predictable track records for responding to posts without scrolling up and checking dates.

I do that, too.

I think Z was the best example (maybe the only example) of a TMB moving on as a result of the information posted on this board.

Amidst the depressing, apologist rhetoric and refusal of obvious facts, he was able to see the reality and change his world view. It gives me hope for the rest of them.

I was inspired by the phrase "I see you" in the context it was given in the movie Avatar. I think it refers to that symbiotic relationship between all living things that illuminates motive, understanding, compassion, empathy, respect and a recognition of intrinsic value.

Yes, I think this is getting down to the bottom line of what spirituality is. As in Namaste, meaning "I see the Christ in you," or "I see the perfection in you."
