I agree with Antiderivative that a spiritual journey is an inward journey. "Know thyself" said the Greek philosophers. This takes years of introspection and complete honesty. A long path upward on the mountain and there are many paths. And what is the end of the journey? It is written that "The Kingdom of God is within you...." At the end, understanding, forgiveness, wisdom and happiness.
Why does each new generation have to learn these things? Is it wise for the young to view the experience of those who have gone before unreliable and worthy only of suspicion? Must each new generation be fated to reinvent the wheel?
