That's definitely interesting, and I can definitely see it for his particular definition of the word "spirituality". What I find more interesting is his
related next post. His "truthism" that he speaks of there is
extremely similar to a slightly more scientific take on Buddhism. His step 3 only being able to result in love is basically identical to the Buddhist philosophy of
loving kindness.
That said I think his "religion" and a variety of other similar religions (like Buddhism) miss something. They seek to silence your mind, to quiet the "animals" that he speaks of and deny them any control over the body. But they miss that it's those same animals that allow for the creation of art or music. While the howling of the monkeys in our brains might be distracting, it's that same howling that occasionally takes two random sounds and puts them together to form a new word. We should know how to silence the monkeys, but the end goal shouldn't be to silence them totally, but should rather be to
control them. Studies in people with brain damage have shown that without emotions, without those animals there to help guide you, people end up spending hours trying to decide what type of chips to buy at the grocery store. Like it or not we
need those animals, and without them we look only at a world devoid of art, devoid of passion, and where even simple decisions paralyze us. They shouldn't control us nor cloud our perceptions, but it's important to recognize that the end goal is not to evict them.
(Just my two cents. To be honest when I started this post it looked nothing like this, but this is how it turned out so here it is.
