Travelling Inward

History, literature and mythology have shown us that in ancient times, people were much more spiritual and had a better knowledge of the cosmos both in the scientific aspect and also in the metaphysical context. In fact, in ancient times people did not separate the two fields, as we do today. At present, many people regard religion as something based on superstitions and an unnecessary burden to our modern times. On the other hand, those of us who consider themselves spiritual or religious believe that just by adhering to stringent dogmas they qualify as true believers. The main divide between these two categories of people is that the former despise everything related to tradition and heritage, while the latter are too steeped in rituals and fail to realize the very essence of the religion they follow. It s strange that in the past, talking about spirituality was as natural an occupation as drinking water, whereas in current times the rational world regards anything related to spirituality with skepticism.
