I too am on a spiritual journey.  Simplifying has, for me, cleared a space
for the spiritual to seep in.  I see there's an alternative to the
materialism I was raised with.  I like it.  I want more.  

That Catholic from Harvard said we all make value judgements, set
priorities.  We all revere some ideal as the supreme value.  So religion is
everywhere.  For some it's reverence for the ideal of Money or the Market
or Science.  

I love Dee Hock for saying that our problem is we're so buried in
information we've lost touch with wisdom. 

What is your purpose in life?  What do you devote yourself to?   Children
or spouse or money or science or Jesus or what?

Science investigates; religion interprets.  Science gives man knowledge,
which is power; religion gives man control.  Science deals mainly with
facts; religion deals mainly with values.  The two are not rivals.
