Why do you need a label at all? Isn't part of the point of spirituality to free yourself from the strict boxes of earth? To reconnect, in some small way, back to the One? There are no names there, you know.

If you'll permit me to quote old Laozi:

Those who know don't talk.
Those who talk don't know.

Close your mouth,
block off your senses,
blunt your sharpness,
untie your knots,
soften your glare,
settle your dust.
This is the primal identity.

Be like the Tao.
It can't be approached or withdrawn from,
benefited or harmed,
honored or brought into disgrace.
It gives itself up continually.
That is why it endures.
