The Distinction between Spirituality and Religion according to Andrew Weil

Spirituality has to do with the nonphysical, immaterial aspects of our beings - with energies, essences, and the part of us that exiated before and will exist after the disintegration of the body.

Religion attemps to institutionalize spirituality, and much of what goes on in its name concerns perputation of the institutions more than the welfare of individuals.
