| | Spiritual Music As Expressed By Yes, A Secular Spirituality (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06) |
 | | The title of this song, "We Have Heaven," immediately blends the Divine world with this earthly world, thereby bringing the spiritual down to earth, bringing a valuable future moment (Heaven) to this present moment, and forming a kind of secular spirituality that is warmly innate, very empowering, genuinely practical, and readily accessible to everyone. |
 | | Similar to this country’s Declaration of Independence in which our rights were seen as "self-evident," YES believe they have the right to feel that they are an integral part of the whole universe, because they see themselves as automatic members, or citizens, of the universe simply by fact of their very existence within it. |
 | | By representing a kind of universal democracy, their music exemplifies what I call secular spirituality - a spirituality that is at home in this world, and in the universe - a spirituality that is life itself - a spirituality that embraces a whole and healthy self. |
