People hold belief systems that all differ in the definition of their spirituality mainly because beliefs ‘🌷box’ in the belief as the Definition. To an open minddd explorer who sees spirituality as a playground to explore, it’s never something fixed. It’s the awareness of identifying through the self understanding more directly what one is experiencing. In my view in this way, it’s not something one can define as ‘somethjng’ But more what you become as that experience. In the end the true state simply understands the bigger picture of itself that is often polarised by the age of reasoning. If all adults were to reconnect with their inner child, be in wonder and awe, like a child open in this way of their early years, thenspirituality wouldn’t even need defining. It wouldn’t need to be seperate as something one seeks out to reclaim. |
Jesus Christ people, before you open a thread, try searching if the same question has been asked before, this is the third thread with the same name in a period of a couple of months. It is literally on the second page of this subforum. And like I said there:
Spirituality simply means the capacity to contact and get help from cosmic spiritual energies. It is pretty self explanatory, the spiritual realm is the realm of energies - spirituality becomes the ability to cooperate with them. Researching different states of consciousness, going on what people call the spiritual journey, if it does not involve contact with energies, this is called mysticism. Therefore, most people here are aspirants or aspiring mystics, they are not spiritual. |
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO DEFINE SPIRITUALITY?

Brother Greenslade, I regret inadvertently maligning the practice of meditation in my earlier statement. it is never to be equated with "just sitting around". As correctly practiced by many in this world, those who have benefited from regular connection of their Spirits with the Creator's Infinite Essence....would certainly testify to its effectiveness. .....and I highly doubt they would have any need to define, or to be told what Spirit is. :smile: |

Spirit-1 is metaphysical-1, mind/intellect/concept and ego ergo spirit-of-intent. ------conceptual line-of-demarcation------------------ Spirit-2 is Observed Time { /\/\/\/ sine-wave } physical/energy via fermions, bosons and any collection thereof, ex biological/soul life:biggrin:, Earth, Solar System Galaxies, Universe, Spirit-3, metaphysical-3, is positive shape geodesic ( ) curvature ( ) of Gravity ( ), Spirit-4, metaphysical-4, Dark Energy is negative shaped geodesic curvature of Dark Energy )(. --------------------------------------------------------------- Spirituality is those actions and thoughts that are in support of all of the above and the ecological systems that sustain them all. Seems simple to me. Maybe I'm just a simpleton.:smile: ....Space( Time *) i (* Time )Space..... |

Thanks for your fine insight, as usual. |

It's been said that religion was the pathway to Spirituality and that seems to be true. By going to church on Sunday or following other religious practices people can have a Spiritual experience that - for me anyway - seems to happen in the Soul rather than anywhere else. For me personally they happen in 'real Life' - as in what you're saying here. Reading this is a Spiritual moment, so thank you. |

Dear Guthrio For the main part yes, it is all about creating your own reality but when you look at some of the threads you can understand why. It's been said that we are Spirit in amnesia and that gives me a very different perspective. What happens when the perspective is put in the context of Life Purpose/Karmic Obligations though? You find that everything happens BECAUSE of you and nothing happens TO you. When the character awakens not only does he/she realise they were asleep and now they are awake, but they are also awake to the reasons they were asleep. Quote:
Yes we have always been who we truly are but then we choose amnesia in order to re-member. And you have always been here too Guthrio, and you know that. Quote:
Sometimes our greatest fear is not that we are a nobody, but that we are greater than even our wildest dreams. Yet when you feel that somewhere in the distance, just out of reach? With great power comes great responsibility and we have to be mature enough to understand that. Sometimes we're simply not ready for ourselves. Quote:

Or as Alan Watts said, "If you are Spiritual you are God playing at being not God." It doesn't bother me too much about how awake or asleep I am, I've worked in mental health so I understand how different realities can be. What interests be is the reason I've chosen them and one of the reasons has come to pass very recently. It's when you meet someone from your Soul Group in this plane of existence, when you meet them again for the first time. Then you know the reasons you dreamt that dream for the creator. |

BigJohn, ....I bask in the condensate of Greenslade's ever-enlightening points, which always help trigger my own....just as your original query "Why is it so hard to define spirituality?" has also done. Thanks much :smile: |
