But if thought corrupts language,
language can also corrupt thought.George Orwell, 1984
What does the word spiritual mean? We think we know what it means until we think about it, then it becomes elusive. The words mental, emotional and physical are easily grasped, but spiritual is a greased pig. We can say it means the transpersonal aspect of ourselves, the gestalt of selfhood, the overlighting part that encompasses the mental, emotional and physical parts, but what does any of that mean? The word spiritual doesn’t clarify anything, it only confuses. So what does spiritual really mean? It means whatever you want it to mean, which really means it means nothing.
