Hello,
For me it is what my form was in the very beginning of time.
How human form was accomplished.
Why the ego has such a strong hold.
In pure light and truth.
Krishna.

Interesting though.

Well I think it has a different definition for different person.

Me personally, it means getting in touch with the deepest part of yourself and nature. That's the best way I can describe it :)

Hey David

Spiritulism is a philosophy a religeon


Namaste

I think it's an inner path which helps a person to discover the real meaning of their being...the deepest importance and meanings by which people live.

For me it is exploration. Exploring both rational and irrational thought. Science, art, music, philosophy, religion, psychology: it is all intertwined.

I wonder if there is a definition..but here is my take. Philosophy is to me logic and fact based belief as far as is possible , where as spirituality is faith and feeling based belief... I know it's weak..but the words are eluding me, even as I write ..I think because Spirituality can be a bit ephemeral and indeed mercurial at times, so it's difficult to nail it down or pigeon hole it.

Yes, Neville, I agree, it cannot be clearly defined. And one of the reasons is because it is not associated with any of our five senses.
