**WHAT IS A PSYCHOLOGICALLY HEALTHY SPIRITUALITY
Paschal Baute, 1992, revised 1994


PSYCHOLOGICALLY HEALTHY SPIRITUALITY:
(Spirituality = S)

…does not see S. as the magic solution to all of life’s problems or those one is unwilling to face (“God will do it for me”).

…has a sense of humor and is able to laugh and poke fun at oneself.

…does not employ rituals, like attending church on Sunday, to create a sense of superiority or security.

…does not use S. to avoid intimacy/autonomy/conflict/accountability, or standing on one’s own feet; does not use S. to detach from the vulnerability of being human.

…the above list is continued on the following link:

About the site where the above list is found:

The Theology Library went online in the spring of 1996. Gerald Darring created the Library in an effort to organize the internet for his Religion students at McGill-Toolen Catholic High School in Mobile, Alabama. He began by establishing a page for each Religion course taught at the school, and then as the individual pages grew in length, he would subdivide them into new pages.

Ahimsa:
…does not assume that anyone has a psychologically healthy Spirituality.😃
…true:D

Or as someone pointed out to me somewhere else, the list should end with “does not assume having ticked off the list that one is perfect or near perfect nor of necessity psychologically healthy”…there can be the stumbling block were that the final item on the list!😉

Thank you for the comment Ahimsa…well insighted…
