What is spiritual?

I really am confused by what people mean when they have spiritual trips. I have tripped 100s of time and I never considered it spiritual until I met spirits.
I think that spiritual things are things that work on you energy system. The more I get into energy work the more I see that this is the most important thing I need to do.
Meditation and Yoga work on your energy system.

spiritual means more than the mundane world. it's when you see that the mundane world, and everything in it, is really holy, that's what i think spiritual means.

My personal associations with "spirituality" are sets of consciousness transcending everyday perception of social-conformist waking reality... In the sense of "deities" only when referring to plants.
You could say I'm a spiritual atheist in that sense.

To me spiritual means an identification with something that transcends the material world.

personally whenever i say i had a spiritual trip or something along the lines of that, its a trip where the whole time your not like ommgggg immm tripppinnn sooo harrdddd, with your friends or something....but dont get me wrong, those are still great trips...especially at the end of the night when everyone is coming down and you just realize how cool your life and friends are
but a trip that you actually think about something intelligently or something INSANE happens, like you talk to a god figure or something like that.

spirituality is a word. a completely insufficient one.
the concept of holiness is blasphemy.
Quote:
Jesus said to them, "If you fast, you will give rise to sin for yourselves; and if you pray, you will be condemned; and if you give alms, you will do harm to your spirits. When you go into any land and walk about in the districts, if they receive you, eat what they will set before you, and heal the sick among them. For what goes into your mouth will not defile you, but that which issues from your mouth - it is that which will defile you."
The Gospel of Thomas

I thinks a spiritual trip depends on what you believe prior to tripping, therefore we interpret similar experiences differently.
For example:
Quote:
Spirituality is knowing your Self
I recently had a trip when I couldn't stop thinking, and I got answers to so many things about myself and human behavior in general, that today I do not have any more unanswered questions left about why I behave the way I do, I was like 20 years talking to a physiologist (never been to one but I guess) compressed into 6 hours.
Probably someone with different beliefs (i consider myself to have non) having similar experience would call it spiritual, something greater explained things or something of that sort, but I don't call it spiritual but perhaps enlightening trip.
Quote:
For what goes into your mouth will not defile you, but that which issues from your mouth - it is that which will defile you."
Also one can add "A word is not a sparrow, when you let it out, you can't catch it again." Something like that, quoting from memory, but it's in the bible somewhere.
For me to call a trip spiritual, there must be something external to myself and to this world communicating with me in an intelligent way.

I would say anything with a life force is spiritual . Machines or inanimate objects are not spiritual. To have a spiritual trip would be to feel and tune into that life force and experience on an enhanced level what it is to be alive and living. Its refreshing to feel alive when we live in a society that is programmed to make one feel dead or machine like.

I think consciousness is knowing that you are , and spirituality is the means be which you exist as you are. Each could not exist independently of each other. Having life without being aware would be self defeating and having awareness without having life would be impossible.

Most broadly speaking, I think it has to do with a sense of mystery and wonder, by which standard I think even someone like Carl Sagan could be considered spiritual. Check this video out. I think it can explain a few things about spirituality.
