Sacred Paths: Comparing Non-Religious and Catholic Spiritualities

In Sacred Paths, readers embark on a deep exploration of two spiritual worlds that, while distinct, share intriguing connections: non-religious (secular) spirituality and Catholic spirituality. This engaging book explores the shared ground between these seemingly different approaches, while also emphasizing the unique beliefs and practices that set them apart.
Through thoughtful comparisons, Sacred Paths reveals how non-religious spiritual seekers discover meaning, purpose, and connection beyond traditional religious boundaries, often through nature, truth-seeking, and personal development. Simultaneously, it delves into the rich traditions of Catholic spirituality, which is steeped in centuries of ritual, community worship, and a quest for divine connection.
This book is a must-read for those interested in the interplay between secular and religious spiritualities and for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the varied ways people seek the sacred. Sacred Paths fosters a respectful dialogue between these spiritual journeys, showing how each can contribute to a more meaningful and enriched life. Plus, there is an Appendix on Occult Spiritualties – a treasure trove of information for the avid researcher on popular spiritualities. We present the spiritual movement’s foundational beliefs, their occult practices, their founders and leaders, and some examples of modern-day groups both here, the Philippines, and abroad.
