What is the essence of spirituality?

The essence of spirituality is, I suppose, like everything else- whatever you make of it.




Another example of being "spiritual"

.......a Christian, Jew and a Buddhist can witness the same event and walk away with 3 different interpretations of said event and all 3 be right........from their point of view/spirituality.

:crazy2:


Makes you realize that it doesn't matter what religion/spirituality you choose, you can still find peace and truth.

Live for the moment you are in now
Don't be bogged down by your past
Don't be afraid of what lies in your future

I think spirituality is an effort to ease the anxiety that humans, because of our self reflective minds, have inherited, which confronts us with the awareness that we are temporary and will decay and die. The ego structure can't deal directly with this and so creates anxiety relieving beliefs about something that will insure our continuance on some level.

Pretty clever I guess.

I think spirituality is an emergent approximation of the unspeakable. Otherwise it ends up as a personal chunk made up of what which remains unspoken.
