In the west, we live in a secular society. Joseph Campbell, the world's expert on comparative religion said, "Our culture has gone into an economic and political phase, where the spiritual principles are completely disregarded."
Over the years, I have witnessed our secular social order, just follow along with their inherited family's religion. If parents, do not adhere to the religious system, than why do we continue?
We continue because we don't stand either way. If we have strong convictions, we will stand up to them. Like Joseph Campbell said, our society is purely economic and political.
We lost a sense of mystery to the cosmos. People will say they are more spiritual than religious. But what does this mean and can we bring up our kids to be more spiritual?
I have a profound saying," To be religious is to have an obligation to a particular religion but to be truly spiritual is to have a commitment to your soul."-Serena Jade

"My heart can take on any form: A meadow for gazelles, A cloister for monks, For the idols, sacred ground, Ka'ba for the circling pilgrim, The tables of the Torah [the Jews], The scrolls of the Qur’an. My creed is Love (Love is the Lover, longing for her beloved): Wherever its caravan turns along the way, That is my belief, My faith."- Ibn Arab
