Spirituality cannot be codified by creed, but like the air must flow through our lives as an awareness of our participation in the grand adventure of being. Because we have been taught through the centuries that we need mediators to understand spiritual experience, we often doubt our own abilities. Our ability to sense the numinous quality of existence derives from the psycho-spiritual qualities of the universe itself. If differentiation is truly valued by the universe, our attitude about differences must change. A deep respect for diversity would challenge common assumptions about power and worth.
Subjectivity refers to the numinous reality revealed deep within every being - the depth of reality.
An awareness of the interior depth of any subject opens one to the mystery that may be revealed. Reverence is the appropriate response to the sacred. Communion expresses the unity that is the universe - a single, if multiform, energy event. These principles, which reflect the functioning patterns of the universe itself, can undergird our intentions and actions to restore human and earth to harmony. The ecological consciousness inherent in this new story must be articulated clearly, for it is both the model for personal transformation and the analytical framework for social criticism and creative change.
