Spirituality effects religion in mysterious ways. Acknowledging the spirit's goodness and sacredness, and then being silent long enough to hear and understand the message is practiced in many spiritual traditions. One spirit - many voices - many religions. I believe spirituality connects men and women to heaven. Spiritual leaders - medicine men, saints, saviors, high priests, yogins, yoginis, mahasiddhas,and gurus are able to communicate with heaven's messengers - angels, guardian saints, dakinis, wisdom spirits and then communicate heaven's wisdom back through these men and women. Religion connects heaven's wisdom to everyday life, culture, society, and compassion for humanity. Religion provides the container for developing heaven's message (scripture) and guidance on creating an enlightened society. The absolute spirit and relative nature of this life blend together to create wisdom - without wisdom there is no spirituality and no religion. The truth must always be told. Now that you have broken your silence - hopefully we'll hear more of your relative wisdom. In life and death, I have no regrets. Cheers
