While I accept that spirituality to some extent must regard "belief" as a motivational and confidence-critical catalyst, it starts to get tricky when spirituality leads to institutionalised belief systems not grounded in, shall we say, local or individual contexts. When things get "cultish" and require degrees of submission in order to achieve "enlightenment". That threshold is of course individual and ethereal - but I think this is a central issue within your "spiritufobia".

It is nothing more than a facade to disarm people or to help sell a product. I remember sitting in a staff meeting where he had the gall to refer to the staff as part of one big family. He glossed over his recent decision to kill off a few hundred family members via layoffs. On the other hand I suppose that Jim Jones considered himself spiritual as well.

I love it! Lars this is good stuff. "Noticing is a meta-instrument that can kill all limiting beliefs, all negative patterns."

That is not true. He can think you are out of your mind. When he say no, he can think, that you will start looking for a new job. Your career in the company can be influenced. Everything you say or do, can have consequences, you can not know about for certain. "Yes, the worst that can happen if you asked your boss for a raise is that he says no."

You can never know for certain. He might decide to pull up a gun and kill you right on the spot. That wasn't the point, though. I was giving that as an example. The point I was trying to make is that in most cases, the worst that can happen, or will likely happen, is not nearly as bad as you think it'll be before you dig for the truth. @Torben: You’re absolutely right.
