Real Spirituality

"Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound
source of spirituality.
When we recognize our place in an immensity of light years and in
the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of
life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility
combined, is surely spiritual"
- Carl Sagan

"I define the spirit as the pattern of information of which we are
made — our genes, proteins, memories, and personalities. In this sense,
spirituality is the quest to know the place of our spirit within the deep
time of evolution and the deep space of the cosmos. Although there are
many paths to spirituality, I believe that science gives us the deepest
possible sense of grandeur and wonder about our place in time and space"
- Michael Shermer

"I have a bible. Its letters are stars and its punctuation, planets. It's
written across the night sky in a language that anyone can decipher if they
take the time to look up. It's printed on leaves and in the pattern of
stones on a river bottom. All the creatures of the Universe murmur its words
in unending chant, keeping the hours holy. It fills me with recognition that
what is within me and what is without me are the same. When everything is
exquisite abundance there is no void to be filled"
