Recognizes different paths.
Unity to find self helps you view religion/spirituality differently.
Religion was authoritative before.
This kind of self search is called spirituality, opposed to religion.
It is rejection of institutional religion.
Religion:
Doctrine, Tradition, Genuflect
Authoritative and communitarian
Sacrifice for the greater good.
Spirituality:
Inner feeling of allowance of how you perceive it in your world/mind.
However you decide to think about it, its okay.
Age of Authenticity
Became more individual
Self discovery / personal aura
We realized our humanity on our own.
Fulfill self destiny without conformity to other authority.
Realized that WE have FINAL AUTHORITY
Choice = Good = More happier we are
Self authority = highest expression of individual authenticity.
Learn to be ourselves through spaces of mutual display.
