Some Secular Spirituality

I just love this idea:

"We have for too long now confined the notion of soul to the interior of the human being, leaving the world to the exploitation of need and greed. If there is no soul in the world, then the notion of the human being as having soul is nothing more than pious abstraction and bad theory. The notion of soul and spirit put forth in this writing weaves a fabric with the whole of the world. There is a very special myth expressing the World Soul, the stories told in all cultures of a spiritual being called Sophia. In all such stories, Sophia is not just another goddess. She is the world-as-imagination; she is the world-coming-to-be. She is God's light, and not 'his' as his possession, but that through which God is able to see himself and to know himself and thus able to love all of creation, for God is love." --Robert Sardello, Love and the World
