Deutsche Studie (2006)
Im März 2006 führte die Düsseldorfer Wissenschaftsstiftung Identity Foundation in Zusammenarbeit mit der Universität Hohenheim eine Studie zum Thema »Spiritualität in Deutschland« durch. Die Antwort von 1.000 Befragten, denen die Gretchenfrage gestellt wurde, ergab, dass sich rund 15 Prozent der Bevölkerung der BRD als spirituelle Sinnsucher betrachten, die jenseits der Angebote von traditionellen Religionen und kirchlichen Einrichtungen erweiterte Perspektiven der persönlichen Entwicklung und Selbsterkenntnis erkunden.
Jeder zweite Deutsche glaubt, dass der Kosmos von einer geistigen Macht zusammengehalten wird. Bei der Neigung zu Spiritualität / Religion liegt der Frauenanteil jeweils etwa doppelt so hoch wie der Männeranteil.

US-amerikanische Studien (2006 / 2009)
49% (fast die Hälfte) der US-Amerikaner gaben bei einer Umfrage an, dass sie ein religiöses oder mystisches Erlebnis ("eine plötzlich auftretende religiöse Einsicht oder einen Moment des Erwachens") hatten. Dieses Ergebnis bestätigt in etwa die Daten einer PEW-Umfrage von 2006. Es übersteigt deutlich die Umfrage-Ergebnisse von 1976 und 1994 und liegt mehr als doppelt so hoch wie das Ergebnis (22%) einer Gallup-Umfrage aus dem Jahr 1962. Die PEW-Umfrage von 2009 stellte fest, dass religiöse / mystische Erfahrungen häufiger bei jenen auftreten, die keine bestimmte Religionszugehörigkeit aufweisen (30%).

Kommentare zum Ergebnis der Spiritualitätsstudie

Es gibt doch relativ wenige Menschen, die sich offen und mit sehenden Augen mit Spiritualität auseinander setzen. Es gibt zwar viele, die sozusagen ein spirituelles Fünkchen spüren, aber oft sind sie sich dessen nicht wirklich bewusst. […] Auf der spirituellen Bewegung in unserer Kultur ist noch kein richtiger Schwung drauf. […] Eine Entwicklung zur Spiritualität ist unaufhaltsam. Interview mit Paul Kohtes (*1945) deutscher PR-Spezialist [Ketchum Pleon], Zen-Meditationslehrer, Führungskräfte- Coach, Auftraggeber der Umfrage Spiritualität in Deutschland, Mitbegründer der Identity Foundation, Düsseldorf (1998), Autor, präsentiert von dem deutschen Magazin Was ist Erleuchtung?, Heft 21, 2007

Die Sehnsucht nach einer tieferen Dimension unserer Existenz ist heute weit davon entfernt, eine Randerscheinung zu sein. […] Zwar zeigt die Umfrage, dass ~40 Prozent der Deutschen unbekümmerte Alltags-Pragmatiker sind, denen ihr persönliches Leben und ein naturwissenschaftliches Weltbild genug sind, der Rest der Bevölkerung jedoch sucht nach Gott–und die Menschen gehen dazu ganz unterschiedliche Wege. Dabei sind auf all diesen Wegen doppelt so viele Frauen wie Männer unterwegs. Sind wir Sinnsucher?

Zitate von D. Hawkins

⚠ Achtung Siehe Power vs. Truth (engl.) Januar 2013

Spiritualität bezieht sich korrekterweise auf jene Aspekte des Bewusstseins, die sich auf das Gewahrsein der Wahrheit und des Göttlichen beziehen und auf alle Bezüge zum Absoluten und zur allgegenwärtigen Realität, welche die Quelle und die unendliche Domäne all dessen ist, was als Existenz an sich vorhanden ist. FU Quelle unbekannt

Eine hilfreiche Annäherung besteht darin, die Liebe zu GOTT an die Stelle des Getriebenwerdens vom eigenen Willen zu dieser Suche zu setzen. Man kann jeden Wunsch zu suchen loslassen und erkennen, dass der Gedanke, es gäbe irgendetwas Anderes als GOTT, eine durch nichts begründete leere Vorstellung darstellt. [...] Aus einer grenzenlosen Liebe zu GOTT erwächst die Bereitschaft, alle Beweggründe aufzugeben außer demjenigen, nur GOTT vollkommen zu dienen. So wird es immer mehr zum Ziel, ein Diener GOTTES zu sein, statt Erleuchtung zu erlangen. Ein vollkommener Kanal für GOTTES Liebe zu sein, bedeutet, sich vollständig auszuliefern und das Ziel der Suche des spirituellen Egos auszumerzen. Reine Freude wird dann zum Ansporn für jede spirituelle Arbeit. OU Das All-sehende Auge, S. 69, 2005

Spiritualität beruht auf unsichtbaren Wahrheiten und den Bereichen der Nicht-Dualität. Daher mag sie der normalen Welt als unwirklich oder bestenfalls verschroben erscheinen. OU Das All-sehende Auge, S. 115, 2005

Spiritualität bedeutet nicht, verweichlicht zu sein. Herzen und Blumen und wir alle singen ein Lied miteinander – das ist nicht immer der Fall. Der spirituelle Weg erfordert nicht, empfindlich und verweichlicht zu sein. Er erfordert Stärke und Mut, Heldenmut, die Fähigkeit, körperliche Qualen auszuhalten und sich unterwegs von nichts abschrecken zu lassen. Er kostet dich alles, was du hast. Und ohne göttliche Hilfe ist er überhaupt nicht möglich. Sedona Seminar Vision, 3 DVD-Set, 25. Februar 2005

Quotes by D. Hawkins

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

Personal avowal on his own NDE

Compared to the light of Divinity which had illuminated all existence, the god of traditional religion shone dully indeed; thus spirituality replaced religion. The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 336, 2001

⚠ Caveat See Power vs. Truth, January 2013

A spiritually oriented person values all of life's experiences and sees each one as an opportunity to evolve spiritually. Source unknown

Spirituality properly refers to those aspects of consciousness that pertain to the awareness of truth and divinity and includes all references to the Absolute and all-present Reality, which is the Source and infinite domain of all that exists as Existence itself. Source unknown

The downside of religion divides, whereas spirituality unifies. Source unknown

Context is what creates meaning, significance. All of human life is lived from the nonlinear domain. Although we handle an object in the linear it's the nonlinear that gives us significance. It gives it meaning. Human life then is lived subjectively as the experiential presence of consciousness itself as it registers the linear domain. Seminar, Unknown title, date unknown

[Sigmund] Freud remained below the critical level of 500 because of his denial of man's spirituality; whereas Carl Gustav Jung [LoC 520/540], who affirmed the spiritual nature of man, calibrates at a much higher 560. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, Footnotes, S. XXIII, Hay House, February 2002

At LoC 600:

At LoC 600: [F]ormal religion is commonly transcended, to be replaced by pure spirituality out of which all religion originates. Power vs. Force. The Hidden Determinants of Human Behavior, chapter 4, S. 93, Hay House, February 2002

(↓)

At LoC 600:

We change the world not by what we say or do but as a consequence of what we have become. Thus, every spiritual aspirant serves the world. The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 69, 2001

At some point, the illusion breaks down and the opening for the start of the spiritual quest commences. The quest turns from without to within and the search for answers begins. The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 115, 2001

Jacob's Ladder, 1805, British Museum, London
William Blake (1757-1827) English painter

It is helpful to remember that neither Truth nor Enlightenment is something to be found, sought, acquired, gained, or possessed. That which is the Infinite Presence is always present and its realization occurs of itself when the obstacles to that realization are removed. It is therefore not necessary to study the truth but only to let go of that which is fallacious. Moving away the clouds does not cause the sun to shine but merely reveals that which was hidden all along. Spiritual work, therefore, is primarily a letting go of the presumably known for the unknown, with the promise of others who have done it that the effort is more than well rewarded at the end. The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 117, 2001

Spiritual evolution is almost like a space ship taking off from Earth’s gravity; it is difficult at first but it finally leaves the gravitational field. Energy consuming intentionality eventually dissolves into effortless surrender and one becomes the recipient of unfolding awareness. Revelation replaces discovery. Understanding presents itself and becomes self-revealing by grace without effort. The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, chapter 8 "Beyond Causality. The Will: Understanding And Comprehension", S. 126, Veritas Publishing, revised edition 2002

Question: So What can the spiritual seeker do to be of help to society?
Answer: To endeavor to evolve spiritually is the greatest gift one can give. It actually uplift s all mankind from within because the nature of power itself. Power radiates and is shared, whereas force is limited, self-defeating, and evanescent. All society is subliminally and subtly influenced by every kind and loving though, word or deed.
Every forgiveness is a benefit to everyone. The universe notes and records every action and returns it in kind. Karma is actually the very nature of the universe because of the innate structure and function of the universe itself. In the universe time is measured in eons. Beyond that, it doesn’t even exist at all. Every kindness is therefore forever. The Eye of the I From Which Nothing is Hidden, S. 204, 2001

The downside of spiritual education is the buildup of the vanity of 'I know' and the devaluation of people who are 'not spiritual'. Therefore it is important as a foundation to spiritual training and education to learn how consciousness manifests as the ego and its mechanisms. I. Reality and Subjectivity, 2003

Commitment to the highest spiritual goals tends to bring up the ego's defects, which is to be expected. Defects are inherent the ego's structure and should not be taken personally. I. Reality and Subjectivity, S. 183, 2003

Throughout time, spiritually inspired individuals who have been devoted to the search for core truth itself have reported that beyond ordinary mind, there is a potential experiential capacity that enables the realization of the presence of the field itself as the source of all existence. Truth vs Falsehood. How to Tell the Difference, S. 8-9, 2005

Advanced research into the nature of consciousness now demonstrates conclusively that there is no division between science and spirituality. In fact, they merely represent different frequency ranges of their common substrate. Truth vs Falsehood. How to Tell the Difference, S. 9, 2005

There are misunderstandings of spirituality that teach that even love is an attachment, which is a misconception, for love is an aspect of God; possessiveness is an aspect of ego. Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, "Nonattachment vs. Detachment", S. 99, 2006

The activation of spiritual potentiality is a consequence of nonresistance, which is like the flower that opens and responds to the warmth of the sun by virtue of its intrinsic qualities imbued by creation itself. Transcending the Levels of Consciousness. The Stairway to Enlightenment, S. 202, 2006

Spirituality is often confused with passivity [LoC 145]. Moral obligation to respect and honor life includes one's own as well. [...] Moral stance is not the same as physical action, which in and of itself, is neutral.
Full acceptance [...] does not mean becoming an apologist for grossly negative, destructive behavior. A bully may misperceive a bystander as a potential enemy, but that does not mean that one thereby allows oneself to be needlessly gored. Discovery of the Presence of God. Devotional Nonduality, S. 69, 2006

Sudden changes by catastrophes: tribulation, turbulences and catalysis

Catastrophic experiences are the seeds, the very essence, of the ultimate spiritual experience. Within it and following it to its very center core, totally walking off the cliff in complete abandonment, the full surrender to the experience is the very seed and core of that which the spiritual seeker has been searching for all along. Healing and Recovery, chapter 8 "Handling Major Crises", S. 254, 2008

The founders of the original religions taught pure spirituality, and then it was interpreted by man’s ego. If man understood what was said, we would have world peace. Instead they began to look for differences and ownership and claims to exclusivity, and so religion as compared to spirituality became divisive instead of unifying. And that’s why I believe in spirituality, because spirituality emphasizes what is common to all and unifies. That’s why I say in the book that religion divides and spirituality unifies; that’s why I look for the spiritual truth behind each religion. Interview with D. Hawkins, Truth vs. Falsehood, presented by the US American magazine New Connexion, Miriam Knight, September 2004

People try to make spirituality complicated. Yet, it is a very simple thing: goodwill towards all of life, being kind to yourself and others, being forgiving, and seeing the beauty of all that exists. It is important to see the simple things because the ego is built of bricks. Once you remove one or two bricks the whole wall comes falling down. You don’t have to go to an ashram for three months and eat figs. Just the willingness in ordinary life to be kind and forgiving and compassionate is enough. Interview Power vs. Force, presented by the US magazine In Light Times, Kathryn M. Brinkley, November 2004

Spirituality doesn’t force itself. When your own needs are met, then you try to fulfill the needs of the world. Interview Conversations on higher consciousness, part II of III, presented by the US American Four Corners Magazine, Pamela Becker, June/July 2007

There's no "either-or-ness" about spirituality. Untitled audio interview, presented by the suspended US American web radio station "Beyond the Ordinary", hosts Nancy Lorenz and Elena Young, 60 minutes duration, aired 10. February 2004

Context is what creates meaning, significance. All of human life is lived from the nonlinear domain. Although we handle an object in the linear it's the nonlinear that gives us significance. It gives it meaning. Human life then is lived subjectively as the experiential presence of consciousness itself as it registers the linear domain. Video presentation by D. Hawkins On Spirituality, excerpted from Seminar Title unknown, date unknown, YouTube film, minute 4:02+, 7:42 minutes duration, posted 1. September 2011

Spirituality is in a different paradigm than the Newtonian paradigm. Chicago Seminar Title unknown, 10. April 2004

The downside of spirituality is naïvete, especially in the 500s. It’s not really denial; it’s that it’s incomprehensible that other people can live in a different way. 49% of the United States lives below 200. 51% are integrous. Above 200, you can say, "That’s illegal and immoral," and people will say, "Oh, yes." Below that, they say, "So?" It’s almost as if there are two different societies.
The sharks see that you’re walking around in a happy, blissful state, and they head for you. You're walking around in flowers and butterflies. That's Sedona. Someone says, If we all pray for peace, we'll have it, and that’s the last thing he says before he's riddled with bullets. There aren't many spiritual teachers that teach you not to be stupid.

Lecture notes:

Vision

Spirituality does not mean being effete. Hearts and flowers and we’re all going to sing a song – not always. It doesn’t require being delicate and effete. It requires strength and courage [LoC 200], valor [LoC 505/535], the capacity to experience physical agonies and let nothing deter you along the way. It takes everything you’ve got, and without Divine help it’s not even possible. Sedona Seminar Vision, 3 DVD set, 25. February 2005

Lecture notes:

Vision

Spirituality is not an intellectual game. How long does it take to become enlightened? If you’re serious about spiritual development, not just as an intellectual exercise, and you’re ready to say with supplication: "I surrender all to Thee O Lord, I pray to be Thy servant" – be ready for anything, and let someone know how you want your affairs handled. Be prepared in case spiritual reality moves much faster than you anticipated. Who’s going to pay the bills and empty the wastebasket now? Nobody. People will say you’ve gone crazy, gone totally mad, and of course you have. There’s a point at which you get a fire in the belly; spiritual growth takes priority over everything.
Someone asked: Even me? Hawkins' answered: Yes, even you. Sedona Seminar Vision, 3 DVD set, 25. February 2005

Spirituality starts at 500 and goes on up. The 400s are still caught up in the linear world. Sedona Seminar Alignment, 3 DVD set, 16. April 2005

Standing up for the truth

Spirituality means to stand up for truth. When you commit to the truth, you stand up for it. It’s up to your wisdom to decide how and when to express it. Sedona Seminar Transcending Obstacles, 3 DVD set, 3. September 2005

Question: Where do dreams of success and goals fit in with spirituality?
Answer: You want to fulfill your potentiality and use your talents. Goals and dreams aren’t necessarily contradictory to spiritual growth. Developing your talents/potentiality is not in conflict with spiritual growth. Sedona Satsang Q&A, Sedona Creative Life Center, 2 CD set, 13. September 2006

Question: My spiritual journey is lonely [...] not being around others who feel the same way. People are not on the same path.
Answer: That should not compromise the love you have for people. It should be unconditional. There is a certain separation in which your spiritual family becomes closer than your birth family. That is pretty characteristic. The birth family is more limited. But there is another kind of closeness with your birth family. They can balance each other out. You can talk with your birth family about whatever else is interesting. You don’t have to become isolated. You do become nonattached. Sedona Satsang Q&A, Sedona Creative Life Center, 2 CD set, 13. September 2006

A person who is literal doesn’t get what spirituality is all about. The pedestrian, linear, concrete world […] they are unable to intuit context, spiritual reality. So people criticize the high-calibrating spiritual practices. Sedona Seminar Spiritual Practice and Daily Life, 3 DVD set, 21. October 2006

[Paraphrased] Spiritual means you are interested in the essence of the Truth within the teachings. Thus a person can be religious and spiritual if he or she is interested in the essence of the Truth within the teachings. Sedona Seminar Practical Spirituality, 3 DVD set, 25. October 2008

Während die Menschheit ihre Mystiker stets vordergründig verehrte, hat sie unentwegt unwillkürlich aus dem Hinterhalt intrigiert, um die Botschaft der 'Heiligen' auszumerzen, die sich ohne Erlaubnis der Dogmenhüter den Luxus ihrer persönlichen Spiritualität leisteten.

Spiritualität bedeutet, vom Standpunkt der Nicht-Dualität aus zu handeln. [...]. Jede Handlung geschieht aus einem Zustand der Dualität heraus, wenn sie jedoch auf Nicht-Dualität basiert, dann ist sie eine spirituelle Praxis, [...].
Ich setze also das Wort Praxis mit Nicht-Dualität gleich. Wenn ich Arbeits-Praxis sage, dann meine ich […] eine nicht-dualistische Arbeit. Das macht sie spirituell, das macht sie zur Praxis. Wenn du aus einer dualistischen Haltung heraus meditierst oder um eine Einweihung bittest, dann ist das für mich keine Praxis. Es ist nicht spirituell. Es ist eine Kopie alter Verhaltensweisen.

Spiritualität (lat.: spiritus = Geist, Hauch) bedeutet im weitesten Sinne eine Form von Geistigkeit als Gegensatz zum rein rationalen Denken und einer materiellen Körperlichkeit. Sie steht für die gelebte Verbindung zum Formlosen, göttlichen, transzendenten oder der Unendlichkeit. Sie ist auch eine Art Lebenspraxis. Sie bezeichnet das Bewusstsein, dass die menschliche Seele ihren oder der menschliche Geist seinen Ursprung einer göttlichen oder transzendenten Instanz verdankt oder zu einer absoluten höheren Wirklichkeit in Beziehung steht. Wikipedia online Enzyklopädie, Stand 14. Mai 2007

Es ist offensichtlich, dass sich eine Vielzahl von Bedeutungsnuancen mit dem Begriff Spiritualität verbindet. Nicht nur die konkreten Ausprägungen der Spiritualität unterscheiden sich, sondern auch das grundsätzliche Verständnis. Erschwerend kommt hinzu, dass die Begriffe Religiosität und Spiritualität insbesondere im englischsprachigen Schrifttum oft synonym gebraucht wurden, obwohl ihnen unterschiedliche Konzepte zugrunde liegen. In dem 1936 erschienenen Oestergaards Lexikon wird spirituell als "geistig, geistreich, auch geistlich, kirchlich" beschrieben und der Begriff Spiritualität als "Geistigkeit, geistiges Wesen", die im Gegensatz zur Materialität steht. Oestergaards-Lexikon, 1936

Religion ist für diejenigen, die an die Hölle glauben. Spiritualität ist für jene, die schon dort waren. David Bowie [David Robert Jones] (1947-2016) britischer Popmusiksänger, Musiker, Schauspieler, Musikproduzent und -arrangeur, Quelle unbekannt

Quotes by various other sources

The first man Adam became a living being, the last Adam a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. 1 Corinthians 15, 45 (NT)

Personal avowals

Try and penetrate with our limited means the secrets of nature and you will find that behind all the discernible concatenations there remains something subtle intangible and inexplicable. Veneration for this force beyond anything that we can comprehend is my religion. To that extent I am in point of fact religious. Albert Einstein [LoC 499] (1879-1955) German-born US American theoretical physicist, developer of the theory of general relativity, Nobel laureate in physics, 1921, source unknown

We are explorers and the most compelling frontier of our time is human consciousness. Our quest is the integration of science and spirituality, a vision that reminds us of our connectedness to the inner self, to each other, and to the Earth. Edgar Mitchell, Sc.D. (1930-2016) US American Apollo 14 astronaut, 6th man walking the moon, founder of IONS, source unknown

Our eternal spiritual self is more real than anything we perceive in this physical realm, and has a divine connection to the infinite love of the Creator.

To say that there is still a chasm between our current scientific understanding of the universe and the truth as I saw it is a considerable understatement. I still love physics and cosmology, still love studying our vast and wonderful universe. Only I now have a greatly enlarged conception of what "vast" and "wonderful" really mean. The physical side of the universe is as a speck of dust compared to the invisible and spiritual part. In my past view, spiritual wasn't a word that I would have employed during a scientific conversation. Now I believe it is a word that we cannot afford to leave out.

The religious idea of God cannot do full duty for the metaphysical infinity. Alan Watts [LoC 485] (1915-1973) British religious philosopher, minister, Episcopal priest, Zen expert, speaker, writer, source unknown

Western psychology and psychiatry thus tend to discard globally any form of spirituality, no matter how sophisticated and well-founded, as unscientific. In the context of mechanistic science, spirituality is equated with primitive superstition, lack of education, or clinical psychopathology. When a religious belief is shared by a large group within which it is perpetuated by cultural programming, it is more or less tolerated by psychiatrists. Under these circumstances, the usual clinical criteria are not applied, and sharing such a belief is seen as not necessarily indicative of psychopathology. Stanislav Grof, M.D., Ph.D. (*1931) Czech US American psychiatrist, consciousness researcher, co-developer of transpersonal psychology, teacher, author, Beyond the Brain. Birth, Death and Transcendence in Psychotherapy, Suny Series, Transpersonal and Humanistic Psychology, State University of New York Press, January 1986

In spite of all the enforced physical and mental primitiveness of the life in a concentration camp, it was possible for spiritual life to deepen. [...] They were able to retreat from their terrible surroundings to a life of inner riches and spiritual freedom. Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) Austrian psychiatrist, psychotherapist, neurologist, Nazi death camp survivor, meaning researcher, founder of logotherapy, Man's Search for Meaning. An Introduction to Logotherapy, earlier title From Death-Camp to Existentialism, 1959, [German original: Ein Psychologe erlebt das Konzentrationslager, 1946], S. 56, Washington Square Press, New York, 1963

If a prisoner felt that he could no longer endure the realities of [concentration] camp life, he found a way out in his mental life – an invaluable opportunity to dwell in the spiritual domain, the one that the SS were unable to destroy. Spiritual life strengthened the prisoner, helped him adapt, and thereby improved his chances of survival. Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) Austrian psychiatrist, psychotherapist, neurologist, Nazi death camp survivor, meaning researcher, founder of logotherapy, Man's Search for Meaning. An Introduction to Logotherapy, earlier title From Death-Camp to Existentialism, 1959, [German original: Ein Psychologe erlebt das Konzentrationslager, 1946], Washington Square Press, New York, S. 123, 1963

We started with this kind of New Age consciousness, which immediately got routed into the consciousness of health, the discovery of the self, the self-awareness movement, the movement of the victim, woundedness, and the inner child. That became the "surrogate spirituality movement." [...]
The new mystic is not someone who retreats into the ashram or into the monasteries, but rather is someone who remains a very effective lay person in the field – a mother, a lawyer, a teacher, a functioning person in the field – while having a very animated soul. [...] The mystic actually experiences the power of God. Their soul becomes animated. They go from the theory of God, to the fact of God. They go from "I believe", to "I know." Interview with Caroline Myss Myss.com (*1952) US American spiritual teacher, mystic, medical intuitive, bestselling author, Entering the Castle of the Soul, presented by Randy Peyser, 2007

The re-spiritualization of medicine: Recent indicators (in the United States)

In 1997, the Joint Commission on Accreditation strongly recommended that every healthcare institution have a vehicle in place to assess the spiritual history of incoming patients. This is now a requirement. [status 2010]
In 1998, the Association of American Medical Colleges required every graduating student to be able to take a spiritual history, and to demonstrate an appreciation of the role of spirituality in delivering compassionate care.

Authentic spirituality:

Transformative spirituality, authentic spirituality is revolutionary.
It does not legitimate the world, it breaks the world;
it does not console the world, it shatters it.
And it does not render the self content, it renders it undone.

Daily Reflections on Integral Spirituality, S. 28, Shambhala Publications, Boulder, Colorado, 1999, revised subedition 8. August 2000

The reality of the present condition of contemporary spirituality in the West is one of grave distortion, confusion, fraud, and a fundamental lack of education.

Surveys of the PEW Forum on Religion and public life

Since 1962 The PEW Forum on Religion & Public Life has conducted surveys and analyzed existing surveys of religious trends in US America.
A recent PEW survey released in August 2009 detected an emerging trend of mixing elements of worship services and faiths

One-third of Americans (35%) say they regularly (9%) or occasionally (26%) attend religious services at more than one place, and most of these (24% of the public overall) indicate that they sometimes attend religious services of a faith different from their own. Aside from when they are traveling and special events like weddings and funerals, three-in-ten Protestants attend services outside their own denomination, and one-fifth of Catholics say they sometimes attend non-Catholic services.

Overall, people in religiously mixed marriages attend worship services less often than people married to someone of the same faith. But among those who attend religious services at least yearly, those in religiously mixed marriages attend multiple types of services at a higher rate than people married to someone of the same religion.

Nearly half of the public (49%) says they have had a religious or mystical experience, defined as a "moment of sudden religious insight or awakening." This is similar to a survey conducted in 2006 but much higher than in surveys conducted in 1976 and 1994 and more than twice as high as a 1962 Gallup survey (22%). In fact, this year's survey [status 2009] finds that religious and mystical experiences are more common today among those who are unaffiliated with any particular religion (30%) than they were in the 1960s among the public as whole (22%).
