Spirituality is Not Scalable, Religion Is
Historian and New York Times best-selling author Yuval Noah Harari says that religion is scaleable and spirituality is not. He says when you ask a philosophical question religions have an answer. They have created a box with answers in it which makes the box scalable to the world. On the other hand when you ask a question of spirituality, there is no box of answers, it just leads to deeper and deeper thought with personal solutions that change with time and context. This makes spirituality unscalable, according to Yuval Noah Harare. See more here…
I agree and disagree. The metaphor of the box is billiant and I believe to be true, but I agree and disagree that spirituality is not scalable. Since the bases of spirituality is that there is no box (it is personal) makes that aspect of it unscalable. What is scalable is the foundation of spirituality. The foundation has a box that is scalable. Where you take that foundation is up to you and infinite.
The business I founded is that foundational box. The spirit is integrated with the mind and the body, so the foundational box must have the mind and the body inside it too. At Firm Water Road we call this box “burnout recovery” because it does that too.
