Redefining Spirituality-------------------------------- Whilst Honouring Tradition

Is just me or are you realizing that spirituality is being redefined and rightly so.

If you take on the integral model of developmental levels regardless to what version you prefer, how can you retain the same definition of any tradition?

Semantics and the Timeless tradition.

What is timeless? The pure empty Consciousness that is ineffable.

As soon as we express the transcendental reality we will find only partial agreement, all language colours that which is empty with a personal flavour.

A tradition gives you grounding in something enduring and theoretically at least can accommodate all levels of the integral developmental model.

For me the tradition that speaks to my soul is shamanism.

Yes it evokes my magical child, yes it has an edge, yes it is a conduit for the unexplainable and real magical manifestations, yes it reveres the beauty and awe of nature, yes it accommodates ethics, yes it is cool and is good for my ego expression, yes it allows for some neo shamanic plurality and indulgence and yes it allows for paradox and evolution and yes I find it accommodates technology and futurism.

Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism seem to have space for those who re-express the fundamentals of their faith, in fact all traditions are never that static they have always changed to some degree and all are susceptible to politics and historical revision. Even science is being integrated by many religious individuals, as is commerce.

The birth of interfaith religion signals an acceleration in the change of religious structure and necessarily so I would say.

What’s new about spiritual consciousness, is there anything new?

My position is that yes indeed immanence is awakening, an immanent consciousness that has not been seen before in history.
God is in everything, we do not need to escape to the higher realms, and God is beyond creation but also in everything that is creation.

For me this leads to a recognition that the reverence of spirituality, the love of God, the love of creation is growing and evolving.
