“The key to inner freedom is to not latch on to any person, thing, or idea that can answer what you cannot right now. There are no plausible stories for the unanswerable. There are no real endings containing ‘just because’ or ‘it’s God’s will,’ etc. The way to inner freedom is to feel comfortable with the unknown, with uncertainty, and to not fill in those spaces with stories and assumptions and fairy-tales and then call them reality.

“It is not the completion of a doctrinal ‘to-do’ list that promotes spirituality; but the desire to connect with divinity that does. And it is brilliant when you discover such holiness within, when you truly understand that your worth is infinitely more than a set of beliefs, more precious than theology, than faith by comparison.” […]

“Having no religion does not make me godless. It means I have dropped all preconceptions of God to experience a new kind of spirituality…without to-do lists, without the ideas and rituals of thousand-year-old storytellers that had zero experience living in an age of advanced technology.
