We must clearly distinguish between reality (the territory), and whatwe perceive to be reality (the map of the territory)! In our journeythrough life, we need something to guide us, to give us reassurancethat we are on the right track. Modern science has done its best to takethat reassurance away from us, telling us that there is no destination, no purpose, in life, and that in effect our lives are an accident of'Nature'. Religion, too, has become equally unhelpful: it has becomedogmatic, sectarian, and self-serving. We have lost the core, the realmessage, of religion, but we still need true spirituality. Indeed, we needa map to the Truth.
