ReligionNext: What's Next for Beyond Religion

I changed the name of my blog from Beyond Religion to ReligionNext. The reason is simple: I never seem to get beyond religion, and what I am constantly drawn to is what is next in the world of religion and spirituality. I believe we are in the early decades of a spiritual revolution that will not (as I may have thought) take us beyond religion, but may lead into an new kind of religion or a new way of being religious. So, at least for now, welcome to ReligionNext.

I think the original title spoke to the destination, the new one looks to the path or the journey, and the steps yet to be taken. As long as the browser short cut works, I'm good.

Maybe you've discovered some meaning in your previous dream. The plane landing, you descending and things being muddy, and then being without your car keys, and then there being the medicine woman you'd like to have talked to.

Instead of flying beyond religion (the airplane), you've landed into what could potentially be next in religion (the landing of the plane and descending the stairs). Some of it unknown and muddy (the village), but still, hopeful (the medicine woman).

With the change in name of your blog reflecting a new realization about religion, I wonder how your dream comes across to you now.
