Spirituality has always been about belief, about people recognizing the patterns in the environment around them, and translating them into usable rules to live by. As Robert Heinlein, renowned science fiction writer once said: "I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
