I've just been looking through some of the songs of the truly brilliant Sally Oldfield but was immediately hit by a profound sense of sadness.Like many in the public eye she has embarked on a meaningless spiritual journey which embraces everything from obscure and diabolical religions to new age piffle.
Talk about 'throwing the baby out with the bathwater'.
These spiritual quests are principally a search for novelty and have little to do with reality.
Can you have 'experiences' with such activities? Well - of course you can but one must ask who is the orchestrator? You will probably eventually have 'a spiritual moment' worshipping a tree stump but I dread to think what actual diabolical horror lies behind it!
When the Scriptures invite you to 'prove them' - they mean it!
Psalm 34:8 - "Taste and see that the Lord is good."
Jeremiah 29: 13 - "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart."
Matthew 7:7 - "Seek and you WILL find."
Deuteronomy 4:29 - "But if from there you seek the Lord your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul." (NIV)
