Real Faith


What is wrong with religion and spirituality today?
Religion has become structure without soul, spirituality has turned into faith without boundaries

According to the book Spirituality and End of Life Care: Spirituality concerns itself with the transcendental, existential and experiential. The aspects of humanity which refers to the moment and meaning.

J. Miller defines Religion as the common factors that frame our behavior, which are part of a collective worldview which are shared with a group of people.

The communal origin of religion comes from the act of binding together, collecting and solidifying and internalizing a deep inner essence of who we are in relation to tradition and others. The subjective aspect of spirituality is often mediated by the example of  heroic individuals of each faith. The way we achieve a holistic or integrated connection with G-d is to live each day conscientious of the impact of our actions and to seek to sanctify each moment.
