For some, it's about participating in organizedreligion:going to church, synagogue, a mosque, etc. For others,it's morepersonal: Some people get in touch with their spiritualsidethrough private prayer, yoga, meditation, quiet reflection, orevenlong walks.

Research shows that even skeptics can't stifle the sensethatthere is something greater than the concrete world we see. Asthebrain processes sensory experiences, we naturally lookforpatterns, and then seek out meaning in those patterns. Andthephenomenon known as "cognitive dissonance" shows that oncewebelieve in something, we will try to explain away anythingthatconflicts with it.

Humans can't help but ask big questions—the instinct seemswiredin our minds.
