ABSTRACT

This chapter presents some secular ways of developing a sense of spirituality that will enable people to reconnect with nature and each other. There are various approaches that hold a great deal of promise regarding spirituality, including a reinvention of the sacred, the role of artistic expression in recovering spirituality, and other such ideas that can serve as a source of spirituality. Spirituality needs to have a place in lives to help us reinvent the sacred based on a conception of God as the natural creativity in the universe. Science has in some sense discredited spirituality as a reality in world and rendered it obsolete and unnecessary. Perhaps it is time to re-examine and reintegrate the arts and humanities along with science, practical action, politics, ethics, and spirituality. The scientific approach to spirituality has little to say about establishing connections between humans and humans with nature, which is what seems to be lacking in today's world.
