Spirituality is an individuation practice. Religion is institutionalization
Religions are based on the institutionalization of spirituality. Religions institutionalize spirituality and you can be spiritual (note higher functions beyond the grossness of the mundane) without institutional permission and direction. You can decide the meaningfulness of situations and circumstances without religion or religiosity of institutions.
Religions present spiritual lessons and instead of allowing these lessons to be explored on their own, in their onion like layering the lessons are institutionalized and there is only one way to interpret and one way to explore. Religion is institutionalization. Spirituality is individuation. Religions actually all to frequently intermingle with the grossness of national institutions whereas spirituality focuses on ascension and the energetic. The more monothematic the religion the less spiritual it tends to be.
"Signs and symbols rule the world, not words or laws." ~Confucius
Humanity has lost sight of simplicity. And has replaced the sense of simplicity and the value of being simple with basic desires and grossly vast greed. Our overall sense of simplicity is flipped. It is not valued. Complexity mainly illustrated in greedy goals and selfish motivation is valued. Instead of humanity valuing ascended behavior, inventiveness and compassionate course the world celebrates basic fear motivated goals, sexual complexity, extreme primal survival goals while belittling higher critical thinking. It is as if our very consciousness has been flipped upside down .
Postmodernism has flipped everything humanity values upside down. Everything is upside down and our heart center suppressed as illustrated. It is not twisted because of homosexuality, it is flipped because of putting the basic atop. The world today is flipped because of the change in values demonstrative in the differences of the chakra system and the rainbow of the LGBT flag. We either can be natural with an empowered and balanced heart center, the Indigo state of mind in pursuit of individuation. Or we can put the basic up top. Be Indigo. Flip it. Flip the gross to the ideal. Practice yoga not YOLO. Be an Indigo.
