Back to Spirituality

At least he didn't accuse you of being a rat. 😉

I find this topic an interesting read (including the banter). It has made me think how I perceive spirituality and what it means to me. My use of the word (correct or incorrect) is basicly: strive for balance between body and mind.

Start here sir, to explore that inner dimension.

I disagree. Totally.

spirit: the animating or vital force of living organisms. (according to my penguin dictionary). There are other definitions.

This is what I would refer to as spirit, a physical entity, that is linked with man's natural instincts to survive, that can evolve. Spirituality is a metaphysical entity that 'believes' in the supernatural.

It is possible to evoke and awake the human spirit to higher feelings via meditation, music, drugs etc.

In other words swimming in slow motion. Enjoy.

That is precisely the point. Spirituality does not require metaphysics or supernaturalism.

Here is another example: J. Krishnsmurti, Commentaries On Living. Spirituality without supernaturalism or metaphysics.



EDIT:

On page 7, you forbade me from entering "supernatural entities" into the discussion. You, however, insist on "metaphysical entities" in any discussion of spirituality. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is:

1. define "supernatural entities."

2. define "metaphysical entities."

3. disambiguate the two.

4. prove that you are in possession of a metaphysical entity.

5. prove that your claim to be in possession of a metaphysical entity is not merely a psychological cognitive delusion.


Good luck with that.
