thewall2: I like one guys definition of being spiritual....''If you're WANTED,NEEDED,AND LOVED,YOU'RE SPIRITUAL....AND IF YOU'RE NOT WANTED,NEEDED,AND LOVED,,,,than you're NOT''There was a time in my life when I WASN'T WANTED,NEEDED,or LOVED.
I WAS one MASS of hate,and if you had a pair of shoes on your feet, I WOULD spit at you because I HATED you.
But that all changed almost 13 years ago........thanks to the grace of GOD.
Speaking of shoes,my good FRIEND BIG G used to always complain about the hole in his shoes........until he met a man with no feet.
Dusty45: I think there is a pureness about spirituality that effects all souls that exist. It is separate and apart from our belief system. It contains the Truth of Reality and not anything that even resembles any kind of illusion that we manufacture. The Truth of Love is pure Spirit. Openness could be subjective or open to our interpretation. When we contemplate we are reviewing, wondering, trying to decide about things and possibilities. The Ego utilizes all kinds of tricks on the mind to turn the Real into fear, illusion and lies to the Real Self. We have been conditioned almost since the event of our being given free will to play with the manifestiations of the Ego. Verification is only found within our soul or spirit. It is truly a one soul adventure finding the path for ourselves. We may find comfort in sharing the path or discovering with Others but it ultimately comes down to only OneSelf to discover.

You put it in a tidy nutshell Dusty. You covered the basics well. Curiosity is a powerful force... and love is stronger than the universe...Deep down in the abyss of OneSelf is the ultimate connector to infinity and real truth....
pyaremohan: what about the tricks the mind n conditionin plays...can one be totally free from conditionin if that person was not to begin with......
First you need to recognize the types of social and institutional conditioning going on. It's a sickhouse to be honest with you. Unhealthy eggshelll minds and institutions trying teach and heal by trying to place a band aid or misdirection on the problem.
Break on through and drop the torch....fight for change when you feel it calling you....
