I don't see how you can explore spirituality with out looking inward,, Looking outwards it always seems to end up hollow and lacking depth supported only by fancy words. (good exercise looking them up..) . As I am writing this I am thinking of the Master chief I had in bootcamp and when we got a little loose in the ranks and out of step... It is kind of like that with spiritually you have to reach deep inside grab hold of the life force within and then get like the chief said, "Assholes to Belly Buttons!" Allan
