I feel spirituality is personal in the same way as masturbating. I might have this fantastic method for yanking my crank that gets me to the most amazing and wonderful climaxes - but by definition that same method just will not work for 52% of the population, and out of the remaining 48%, there'd be, what, a tiny fraction of them for whom that method would work?, and everyone else would be out of luck.
Describing a single spiritual path and mandating it is like mandating a single way of jerking off.
And, I think I'm gonna save some of the discussion of anger for later.
