@Kuba – “our immersion in a ‘soup’” – as WinterLily says, this soup is “within us and without us” to paraphrase The Beatles. I agree that the essence of spirituality is perhaps two things: 1) transcending the boundaries of the self or ego; 2) experiencing the “tendency to thrive” of all living things. This 2) in itself is “within and without us” – both personal and transcendent.
