I have found a quote from James Hollis (in Spirituality and Health -- July / August, p. 51-52) that helps explain why each person's spirituality is unique:
...the numinous is found wherever we are moved and touched...That's going to be different for different people.
The numinous has to produce a resonance within us, which I think is one of the clues of one's spirituality. You have to ask, what is it that really activates the spirit within me? For one person it will be working tieh their hands; for another person, it's a creative endeavor; for another, it's an intellectual activity. It's different for all of us.
That needs to be repeated:
IT'S DIFFERENT FOR ALL OF US.
