Hey guys, long time since I made a post. But this is something that came to my mind last night before I went to sleep so I thought I'd post it and see what you guys think of it. I'm snot sure if someone has already touched on it but if so sorry :p

I'm going to give you guys my thoughts on this because I see now that the word spirituality has been misconceived by so many people and I'm guessing this is due to religion and their use of the word. Short and simple is all this will take.

What is spirituality ?
To me, the act of embracing your spirituality and your spirit is the act of embracing your loving side and the love within and around you. People now a days come to assume that being spiritual is embracing God or embracing meditation or whatever else people think it may be considered. But really if you look at it how can we say that meditating is spiritual but playing a video game that you love and enjoy is not spiritual ?

A better way to say this would be all things vary to a degree in how spiritual an individual considers something to be. or how much love and enjoyment someone gets from doing the action.

If you take on your path and you enjoy doing it and have fun and embrace the true nature and love around you then why should your path not lead to "God" just because some "spiritual" people think it's not spiritual or conspiracies deem your path that you might choose to be something only greedy, powerful people do. Don't let that fool you. If you enjoy doing what you do, and do it with the act of love and greatest good in your heart then you're on your way and have nothing to worry about.
"Do not allow yourselves to be disheartened by any failure
as long as you have done your best."

I enjoyed this. What comes to my mind is the utter poverty of the English language to describe a belief system apart from a religious content, and you're dissection of the word and concept of "spirituality" shows this very well. Some use the word spirituality to mean they're not an atheist and have some foggy concept of god, others use it to describe a belief apart from religion.
I write about my own breath taking astral projection and lucid dreaming experiences. Thanks for reading :)
