When you approach spirituality as an adventure of being alive, you start as you would any adventure--with a sense of mystery and not-knowing.

Spiritual practice becomes your rudder, offering direction and insight and discretion as you venture into the unknown.

Myths, whether in written or visual form, serve a vital role of asking unanswerable questions and providing unquestionable answers. Most of us, most of the time, have a low tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty. We want to reduce the cognitive dissonance of not knowing by filling the gaps with answers. Traditionally, religious myths have served that role, but today — the age of science — science fiction is our mythology.

If they are enabled to develop into more spacious personalities, the neurosis generally disappears.

That means thinking about how we think about both models - not just do we like one versus the other. Rather we have to ask: How do I think each model produces the results that it does?
