what is the difference, if any, in your opinion?

My comment is about what you seemed to be implying about the difference between philosophy and spirituality on the other thread, which I presume sparked the idea for this thread.
hear what people have to say about it.

I can only go on what your text states. You did after all write,
in which no part or portion is distinct of distinguishable from adjacent parts,
did you not?

explanation, in fact, you seem to be revelling in a kind of verbosity, so they are not one
and the same, ok fine, then how do they relate to each other?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieWait, let's clear up your rather odd question first. Your understanding of "continuum" is that things positioned on it are essentially one and the same thing? I have not come across this understanding of "continuum" before. To be honest, I don't think it's valid interpretation of what a "continuum" is.

discernible, for as yet, you have not done so, or at least i cannot understand what you
purport to be saying, although i have asked for an explanation. I asked, what is the
difference between Philosophy and spirituality and you state that its a continuum, I try
to ascertain the nature of the term continuum and it seems that it has adjacent parts
(not defined) that are similar (but not the same)? Is this really what you are saying, if
so, why not just say it in simple terms? Something like, Philosophy is similar in some
respects to spirituality but it diverges in certain ways?
