In writing my blook, time and time again, I find myself not happy with my understanding of certain words and concepts, especially those that are bordering on pseudoscience or, for lack of a better term, what I call New Age mumbo jumbo, and I cannot find a definition or description that satisfies me.
I spent considerable time recently researching and reflecting on the concept of global consciousness, which tended to fall into my New Age mumbo jumbo category; however, I managed to craft a definition that satisfied my more scientific mind.
I find it interesting how long it takes me to write a description with which I am, say, 90% happy. I need to keep putting it down and coming back to it, often over months, and find myself waking up in the night thinking about the concept.
One word that has been bugging me for a while is spirituality; well, maybe two words if you include the word spirit. I want a non-religious definition — a secular one as I don’t think that spirituality should not be confused with religion. This is where I am at on spirituality so far — I still have a lot of nighttime thinking to go.
