Will r...Hi Jason - Greetings from Northumberland!<br /><br />Will read back through your posts - not least because I am interested in subjects like authenticity.<br /><br />IMHO<br />On spirituality I start with the human spirit a distinct level in the hierarchy of spirit the defining characteristic being as AB said mind - though I hope he meant by that heart-mind. A soul is individuated human spirit that we call a person and Dasein would seem to be the beingness of the individuated human spirit.<br /><br />Insofar as the names, attributes and qualities of God are manifested in us we are divine.<br /><br />Morality = qualities in action i.e. where we draw the line on each issue, and the values we are prepared to set aside in favour of higher-order values.Roger (Dr Roger Prentice)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12188137588634139682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1009010011589823837.post-6459171684539639362009-08-06T08:22:47.178-07:002009-08-06T08:22:47.178-07:00Also, I look forward to reading the essay that you...Also, I look forward to reading the essay that you linked to.

I think some of the confusion does indeed come from language. For example, to say that "spirituality is an intrinsic part of being human" one needs to define spirituality. Is it the authenticity of Dasein as Heidegger would describe it, is it spirited morality, or is it something that can meaningfully be attributed to the divine? Or in other words, is it a human construction that is totally reducible to the neoreological firings in our brains, or is it something more relevant in a larger unfolding of universal purpose?Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17162527239228375591noreply@blogger.com
