OK, the spiritual life is all about light and positive affirmation but what about when it runs smack into the brokenness and  messiness of the real world? I like this guy's approach to the question.

Always, always keep a sense of humor. Without being able to laugh at all this, I'd never get out of bed in the morning :-)

To me this poem speaks of the journey through a long dark night of the soul, pursued by our own furies. But coming out the other side and discovering the freedom of our true selves.

Fascinating stuff here. I've enjoyed the poetry of Rumi and have been curious about Sufi mysticism.  And what a surprise, it turns out they have a website!

Healing and spirituality! There's a connection! Amazing! Let us be grateful unto the learned Professors who speak to us from upon high podiums.  Without them we'd all be howling in the outer darkness :-)

I enjoy reading & watching Prof. Dawkins-he was fantastic on Fox's Bill O'Reilly show. He is passionate, articulate, and intelligent. But he and others like him completely miss the point. People don't believe in a Higher Power because it explains how the Universe works-thats just the surface justification. We believe because our souls hunger for it and are comforted. But you can't read a soul with a volt meter.

Wait a minute! Haven't indigenous Shamen been doing this for centuries? And western science is just figuring out there's something to it.

Because the mainstream media never talks about this, its no wonder most people think humanity is going off the rails. But we're not...because this is quietly going on all the time, all over the world.

I guess it means form these inside then project them outward...works for me.
