Spirituality is multiplicitous. Spirituality is multi-purposed. Spirituality is of the inner life. For the Christian, it includes all things, for the world, life, and death belong to him, says the Apostle. So do not be afraid, of any tradition, for having stolen from the tree of life, God demands repossession, not out of need or want, but more so out of fascination. 

Yet, in partaking in what is seemingly foreign to the way of Christ, the Scriptures of the ages, we ought to discern what is of demons and what is of God. 

Spirituality is not religion nor dogma, not faith nor creed, it is the mechanism of the mind to find solutions to problems of the interior life. Let us not deprive ourselves of every tool and method and stratagem, for a genius does not ponder how to be orthodox and in proper Christian etiquette in the battle against sin but rather in the field of his life, the confession of his heart, and in the beliefs and thoughts lodged permanently within his mind, for he has the devil to face and no time to waste. 

Yet, do not seek salvation through these means, but only use them with a purpose: to attain perfection, psychologically, emotionally, and behaviorally, for I have seen our Holy Spirit rest upon the greatest heretics of all, practicing what is not familiar, though in ignorance.
