Alignment is a big thing in the spiritual world. It’s almost impossible to find a god or prophet who doesn’t preach alignment as one of the paths to enlightenment. Christians are taught to align their thoughts with the mind of Christ. For Hindus, the ultimate aim is to be aligned with the divine.
In Africa, before the continent was ‘discovered’, our ancestors aligned with nature in its infinite manifestations. And many atheists will tell you how important it is to align with your true intentions.
