Virtual reality will only produce virtual people. And so whatever experience we have, whatever experience we can create for ourselves which intensifies, increases understanding and appreciation, nurtures our relationship with nature, is spiritual experience. I believe that our ancestors, our forebears, living still or long gone before us, loved and admired or hated and feared, are sources of our existence. Our relationships are a source of our existence. Our existence is enriched as we find ourselves in others and as others find themselves in us.
Human relationship is a source of our existence.
Art, beauty of all forms and sorts, the awesome wonders of science, are sources of our existence. Being in relationship with beauty and wonder, not just looking at it but engaging in it, is spiritual practice. That source is my center. When I meditate, it is to practice the relationship with the Source of my existence. But I also know that each of us has sources of our existence that are special to us, sources that we have learned though personal experience are vital to our sense of wholeness and well-being.
