His message seems to encompass a view that is wider than the Jewish religion. No, prior to the establishment of a formal religion, human beings had the ancient and primal search for meaning and purpose. The answers to these profound questions come from the universe itself and from deep within the human person. Spirituality grapples with the mystery of life. It is deep within us and in the universe itself.
Spirituality is planetary as well as personal.
Tracing back into the history of all ancient peoples, we learn that it is inherent in the human condition to search for meaning. We are destined to question constantly. No one can give us that meaning. We each must undertake the journey. Spirituality involves the search, the exploration, and the wonder of the connectedness with the Divine at the heart of creation.
