To me just seems contradictory, its called Philosophy & Spirituality, when philosophy is based within theory, and spirituality is based in faith?
Sure its great to philosophise about spirituality but i get the vibe that whenever anyone makes a spiritual post here its gets jumped on by philosophers, which isnt exactly a bad thing but the root of spirituality simply can not be philosophised.
As words cannot induce true faith only experience, and philosophy is just words.
Just a thought...
Please flame me for this, i invite you

I like a spiritual name being there. It leaves the door open for some interesting angles to explore. If this whole forum was classical philosophy we would be discussing formal logic which is boring. I would have to go elsewhere.

Do you really want to sit around talking about Plato, Kant, Socrates and the like? They had something going on, but that old school...and boring.

One branch of philosophy is Metaphysics, which in part attempts to understand the nature of spirituality.
-------------------- Republican Values: 1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you. 2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child. 3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer. 4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.

The yin and the yang are contradictory, yet fit together perfectly....  Technically, spirituality is also based in theory.... A person has to take a leap of faith to believe in that spiritual theory....

Spirituality doesn't necessarily have to based on pure faith. Philosophy isn't just words either. Spirituality is a very real need of human beings. I think the two are definitely intertwined. They're nearly the same thing at times.

Spirituality is the experience of life and Philosophy is the means in which we seek to understand that experience conceptually.

The fundamentals of spirituality are based in faith, as once you have experienced (which can NOT be prooved) the true reality of spirituality, the source, "god" all there is left is faith in what you have experienced (as it cant be prooved)
& those who do not experience due to attachment/fear can only have faith, or lack there of 
So experience has alot tod o with it, but there still has to be faith in the experience to BE it.
Thats my view onit.
This forum is fine though 
ps psychedelics & weapons?
What a future we could have blowing up the universe...

me thinks spirituality is best talked talked about through oneself.
but its so nice talking to poeple with the same beleifs experienced through oneself/within.
im starting to give up though, unless i know someone has the same views as me im just gonna keep my mouth shut, cause they just think im a hippy spiritual freak.
like the tao teaches,
those who speak, do not know. those who do not speak, know.
i am going to try and live in silent bliss, unattached to others views in relation to mine.

Reinforcement is powerful, which is why people congregate in churches. It rarely is conducive to learning though.

yeah, just gotta watch who you talk about it around, but it does cross the line when one imposes views (not accusing you of this). these are just forums so it doesn't really matter, though it is way different with the people we associate with outside of the internet (different mask).
