Spirituality

"Religion is belief in someone else's experience. Spirituality is having your own experience." Deepak Chopra

Someone quoted Deepak Chopra as saying, "Religion is for people who want to avoid hell.  Spirituality is for people who have already been there."  I'm not he actually said this, but it is an amusing truism.  People who are spiritual do seem to have integrated the unsavory aspects of themselves -- which is a journey all evolving souls must make.  A truly spiritual person is not going to say something incongruent from his/her behavior, because the soul journey enables one to be congruent in words and actions.  Is your experience internal and intimate with God as you understand God?
