It means being logical and analytical, but understanding that there is far more to life, the universe, et al. than we are able to decipher, and therefore to be open to new ideas, possibilities, but to demand reason from those who propose them.

It also means..

Falling in love, really.

Spiritual means that traditional religion doesn't appeal to me.

I perfer to answer that I'm spiritual but not a member of any specific religioin.

I don't believe I have to go to services in order to prove or express my belief.

I don't own a bible.I don't pray before every meal.And if I can do something to make someones life a little bit easier I take every opportunity to do so.

It is difficult to post, write my views of spirituality, because of it we do not have the words to define it. All of our languages are based on the physical, our experiences in the physical world. In the presence of the spiritual, mystical, it is a freedom, liberty, and encompassing Love that greatly surpasses even those words.

true . Religion and spirituality are two different things . Spirituality is far from the mystiscm of conventional "God" and things related to it .I believe that being spiritual means more than simply living according to what should be common-sense ethics; it also means balancing one's limited sense of self, self-knowing, and self-guidance with one's connection to the infinite universe itself.

I believe that to the extent that one is successful in balancing one's own identity and significance with the identity and significance of all that is, his or her pain and fear will be replaced by authentic and unconditional love. Love of all that is, all that has ever been, and all that will ever be. In my opinion, love is the sign of true spirituality.

Please post your views here

to me, its like a surrounding aura. its a a feeling that all is good, what you give out, knowing somewhere somehow , its going to be ok, when we are sad, or just feel you cant keep on the road,
must always look inside. that room is there. just have to peek inside, having courage to be you as a whole. angel peace

Look forward to knowing that embrace of Love, a Pure Love, of the love you have known, you have shared. handshake

We are spirit beings, so being spiritual is living every day. Only my physical body is subject to this world, spiritually speaking I am eternal! applause

That's right. Just think of it like...

Her water flushes one way, yours flushes the other...

They'll meet in the middle, and counteract each other...

Calming the misfortunes of the distance apart...

A liquid love story, of sorts!

To me spirituality is the desire to connect with the soul within us and not the monkey mind of the ego. When we can identify with soul then we see a much larger picture of our existence and understand our role within it. Soul consciousness has the ability to heal and also to bring great relaxation and peace. The practice of meditation gives us a glimpse of the expanded consciousness of soul but it is just a taste of what really lies within. The true motivator. IMHO
