I guess my trouble here is really that I think that I DO value mental health and I DO value spirituality - and I DO think that there is a place for me.

But then I've been kicked out of this forum before ;-)

I guess the trouble I'm having is with associating 'spirituality' with a very particular (and extremely controversial) political view. I guess... I have a different political view... One that (I find) is accepting of my spiritual views (in the sense that it is silent on them thinking that that is an individual personal matter that is none of the states business). And... That is my view precisely. And... They are trying to treat mental disorder... Only the health system is a bit %#@&#! up at the mo.

Sigh.

I'm not sure what the answer is.
