Secular_spirituality

Secular spirituality as a cultural phenomenon refers to the adherence to a spiritual ideology without the advocation of a religious framework."The lost art of being happy - spirituality for sceptics" Tony Wilkinson. Findhorn Press 2007.

Secular spirituality in principle might embrace many of the the same types of practices as religious spirituality, but the motivation is different. Clearly, since belief and dogma are absent, the emphasis is likely to be on practice rather than belief and on the inner life of the individual rather than on a relationship to a spiritual being or beings. A fully reasoned case for a form of secular spirituality in which the motivation is simply to live happily, which demonstrates how such a motivation can lead to a spiritual life based on the development of qualities very like those prized by many religions, can be found in "The lost Art of being Happy -spirituality for sceptics" by Tony Wilkinson (Findhorn Press 2007)
