While I'm clarifying the meaning to words that are thrown about in this forum, let me say that "spirituality" is one's connection to God, not one's practices in different forms of meditation. Many faiths practice different forms of mediation. Groups like yours also practice meditation. Meditation is a practice. It wasn't I that made the decision what can be said here and what can't. Those of my faith and belief were quite heavily persecuted in one form or another just about a year ago, right before our Holy holiday of Easter/Resurection Sunday. THEY won in that we are ALL censored here in this forum. So why are you singaling me out?

Like I said before, if you want to discuss your practices and what they are called, please do start a Social Group of your own. I know there are several other people on this board that practice what you practice. No one will bother or censor you there.

Those of my faith have truly found a "sanctuary" in our Social Group. I hope you can find yours, too.

"Kindness is my religion." The essence of my religion is kindness. I'm not mentioning anything specific to a particular path. I'm describing the essence of many paths--the practice of kindness, the practice of patience, the practice of sympathetic joy, the understanding of wisdom.

These are within the domain of human experience, and human spirituality--regardless of specific religion.

One needs no special 'holy days' to practice patience, kindness, clarity, compassion and wisdom. Atheists can practice these too. These are universal and within the ken of all beings.

As to references to the PM's, I must have misunderstood. I offered to no longer write to you privately, but you encouraged me. Was I mistaken? If you don't want to post with me or discuss things privately I am quite happy to leave you be.
