Hello,
First off, when I say 'liberal' I do not refer to the modern sense of liberalism in American political discourse. Rather I refer to traditions and ideas that stem from the Enlightenment period of Western Europe.
I 100% agree with the UU perspective on God, no religion having a monopoly on truth & the path to salvation, and a commitment to spiritual growth in all it's forms.
However, I find that the reason I came to UU beliefs stems from a different philosophic approach. One I'll call the 'mystical' approach. Within pretty much all major philosophical and religious traditions there are mystic elements as relates to 'experience with the divine' and the 'oneness of God' and that these experiences are open to all who seek it.
Is this compatible with UU values?
