What Is Spirituality? - The BEST Explanation You Need To Hear

This video is rather short, but I can assure you it is one of the best you can find out there. Let me know what are your thoughts about it 🙂

Is a good attempt to describe spirituality, but you are still falling in the trap of "this is real spirituality" and what others feel is spirituality is wrong. I have met a lot of very spiritual people who are religious, worship deities or gurues and don't have the need to investigate and put words to "reality". You can feel they are spiritual in their words, in their eyes and in their hearts. Forms are not a good way to distinguish in the realm of the formless.

Most of the time when people think of spirituality they're confused because they can see things, but not spirits. They create symbols like the cross, the Buddha, animal gods, and the like to have something to behold when they want to think of the Great Spirit. Is the spirit of Earth itself, of some animal icon that represents the spirit of a particular animal or a Neptune of the great unknown of the depths of oceans? All these are mysteries, but having some symbol makes it more easily comprehensible. The stars and named constellations also serve that purpose. Beyond these symbols there are systems of understanding created to lead an individual to morality or goodness. Hindusim, Sufism, Islam, Catholicism, etc. They all provide more than a god. They provide a greater system and in some cases it has a lot to do with money and power rather than enlightenment of a spiritual nature.

Very good video, thanks!

I agree with so much of what you have said, but was WAITING for you to say that spirituality is about feeling the connection to all things. I was waiting for you to say that spirituality is about relationships/community because we live on this planet with other humans and with the trees and birds and water and all beings. We have relationship with them and are interdependent with them. Spirituality is a personal understanding and expression of this sense of oneness and connection. It is the realization of LOVE.

Yes, it's a short video but very good

With spirituality, there is no fear.. such a freeing experience ✨💕

But if I’m questioning everything then I’m worrying so I can’t find peace with my inner self 😩😩😩

Everything makes sense but it’s contradictory at the same time 😩

Corrupt people who make money with your faith. Spirituality comes from the word spirit obviously has an asian origin like from Buddhism, Zen (Shaolin), Taoism, Hindu. In christianity however they believe in the "Soul". Obviously there's no spirituality because it's religion. No such thing as soul either.
In science we prefer the word enlightenment. I can only make a good example. The Ark of Truth in Stargate SG1, the ancient greater knowledge about the universe. This is what I mean by that enlightenment. You do not seek spirituality, you seek the enlightenment. The truth is what you want. Somewhere deep down. Have to overcome your ego first and dare to question what your elders have told you. Your elders are wrong. They're not intelligent. I'm here to tell you not to make the mistakes your elders did.

What makes us agree that this is indeed a correct way of understanding spirituality though? What sources must we consult? "Spirituality is about training your mind to the events happening in your life?" What is a Spirit? Doesn't the term Spiritual come from spirit?

Is it change of consciousness that can be captured by smartphone or 📸 just checking other people experience GOD lights under trees greatest blissful feeling just checking others ok

its simple really- be one with self

Although no church seems to realize this Spiritual/Spiritually in the Bible has to do with the MEANING or heart of truth and actually can be a synonym for allegory revealed. For instance the Book of Revelations 11:8 "And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified” This SO defines the term becaue OF COURSE Jesus was NOT literall crucified in either Sodom OR Egypt....it is an example of the heart of the matter! The ALLEGORY those things always were speaking of ...this is key in understanding the ENTIRE Bible at it's heart is Allegorical Poetical Parable .....the Literal (the Letter) is a trap for lying minds to presume their literal understanding on .....Spiritually/allegorically THAT is "death" 'The Letter(the literal/carnal) Killeth, But The Spirit Giveth Life' (2 Cor 3:6) then in Romans 8:6 " For to be carnally *includes literal attempts at doctrine) minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be...."

To me, spirituality is the finding out of who we really are.

Thanks

LET YOUR SOUL BE LIGHTED WITH THE LIGHT OF LIFE
I have a spirit and I have a soul and I live in a body. Humans have a spirit (breath of life) and a soul (conscience) within their body, both spirit and soul belong to God the Creator. One God, One Creator, and Many Religions. But Only One God, and He owns the Human Soul. He gave it to man. Why did he give a Soul? When the Almighty takes back the breath of life (spirit) humans die and their body returns to the ground upon the death of the person. God is Holy. If the soul is not pure and holy, it will not or cannot return to the presence of the holy God, but will suffer eternal punishment, away from God. But if cleansed and purified, made holy before death, it will return to God and will have Eternal Life.

Since man cannot see or touch his soul, neither he nor another can make it holy. By works of the flesh, cleaning your body or touched by another so-called holy person or by a puja or a pujari, priest (of any religion) or a Sadhana, can man purify the soul which one can neither see nor touch but can only feel by its presence within one's body.

Who can make the human Soul clean, pure, holy, and blameless before God Almighty? Who can light up the human soul with the light of life, light up with God? (Many religions believe that God is light, and so they worship the light) But God is Spirit, the light of life, the life giving Spirit and the life taking Spirit. Who can hide from him, for he searches our Soul and finds the thoughts of man.

If you can find the answer to the question of lighting up the Soul with the light of life and keeping it or holding it with the light of the Soul till the end of your life on this earth, you have found out the purpose of your life in this earth, and you will receive the eternal destiny kept for you in heaven.

Agree with God, and be at peace. Receive instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart. If you return to the Almighty you will be built up; then you will delight yourself in the Almighty and lift up your face to God.

Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his seat!

His soul draws near the pit, and his life to those who bring death. If there be for him an angel, a mediator, one of the thousand, to declare to man what is right for him, and he is merciful to him, and says, ‘Deliver him from going down into the pit; I have found a ransom; let his flesh become fresh with youth; let him return to the days of his youthful vigor’; then man prays to God, and he accepts him; he sees his face with a shout of joy, and he restores to man his righteousness. He sings before men and says: ‘I sinned and perverted what was right, and it was not repaid to me.
He has redeemed my soul from going down into the pit, and my life shall look upon the light.’

“Behold, God does all these things, twice, three times, with a man, to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be lighted with the light of life. Pay attention, -, listen to me; be silent, and I will speak. If you have any words, answer me; speak, - If not, listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.”

MAY THE ALMIGHTY GOD OPEN YOUR HEART/SOUL AND LET IT BE LIGHTED WITH THE LIGHT OF LIFE.
ALL THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD, HAVE AN APPEARANCE OF GODLINESS, BUT THEY DENY ITS POWER.
COME TO THE TRUTH, KNOW THE TRUTH. LET YOUR LIFE IS DEDICATED TO PURSUING THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD AND ABIDE IN THE TRUTH.

the devil is a liar.

exceptionally well done! this is a great tool to help young people! and adults!

What about feelings... It's the feelings of high vibration... Happiness.. Grateful.. and Looooovvveeee.. I never asked or even knew about spirituality.. I was chosen and to experience the blissfulness of the experience is indescribable.. It's literally a feeling. The endless brain chatter stops then you literally walk right out the old you and your this new person instantly. I literally asked myself if I died. Unbelievable. I just want everybody to know!! I am in Love everything.. everything is me

this was the most helpful video i’ve watched

How do you start

Religions like Christianty and Islam are blinded by their own mass arogance ,they use ignorance as their ''tool'' for their arrongance, "off course they are right" they are ignorant no matter how they say it because they use "others" from their ''well" stucturated book ''expecting heaven'' ,its like playing a narcissistic mirroring something like they own the Universe,and use guild as righteousness upon emotional empathy Its it's completely stupid of them to put God as karma or conciusness or anything else as their 'justice" .They play their little Toa "play', like Jesus and his last supper, never wander why Jesus appears into things like near death experiences, if not then the the devil..bla bla bla, they are downing them selfs For a spiritual person their entire opinoins should be completely uselles.Dont't be energetically connected Do zazen, meditate be with existence, and don't hold on to it, as time is just a illusion it doesn't exist.

Very useful information, thanks 🌏✨

What's going to make you happy in life is to live it. Too many rules and nonsense from religion to whatever it is you call spirituality. I've practiced the so-called spirituality for more than 20 years and noticed that people who practice that tend to be the more fearful, bitter and unhappy people in the world. I began to feel happy when I stopped practicing that blah blah.

The term spiritual … something we cannot see or touch. Words like love, joy, peace, long-suffering, goodness, kindness, faith, mildness and self control are spiritual sensations. The other side of spiritual sensations are fear, anxiety, frustration, anger, stress, etc. These sensations are part of our being. These spiritual sensations are by design, by a designer (God, Nature, Instinct, etc).

By our focusing on these inner spiritual sensations, both good and bad, we are able to adjust our lives, conduct and actions in a way to maximize the good feelings and minimize the negative. By ignoring these sensations or trying to suppress them is defying nature and working against ourselves.

This leads to further unpleasant spiritual sensations and more extreme actions that lead to greater uneasiness. At ease is the opposite of dis ease. A person at ease is a spiritually balanced individual, one who embraces all internal sensations using them as a compass to guide one through life, balancing them in the tumultuous energy fields that surround them. Our actions create energy and send off spiritual vibrations to those around us. What signals do I send off by my actions in this world?

Every individual is unique in their personal experiences and spiritual sensations. Meaning there is no “one-way” …. “one-path” … “one-formula” … “one-religion” the only “one-thing” is the individual and their work on themselves alone. Measured only by their inner spiritual sensations to guide them to their “true-path”. The true path is genuine love for every person on this planet, balanced against our internal spiritual compass to guide us on the path to living a genuine spiritual life.

The genuine spiritual person is not confined to any nation, religion, ethnic or social group. The genuine spiritual person is in control of themselves and their inner spiritual condition and these people are found in all walks of life. Are you a spiritual person?

We are only capable of working on ourselves. As individuals we can strive to connect and feel the world around us. Particularly sensing and feeling our fellow man. We are all spiritually molded by our environment, we have no choice on how we grow-up. The environment makes us connect with our fellowman, those “like me” which is all created by our environment. It’s why certain religious views, clothing styles, music preferences all vary by geographical locations.

The influence to “fit-in” is our ego … wanting to connect with others for our own benefit. I suggest that the genuine spiritual quest is to rise above our egos and recognize that a spiritual connection must be measured by how we connect with those who are not “like me”. If you’re nice to your friend what extraordinary thing have you accomplished?

If we can learn to feel and connect with those who are different from us. Those who’s views are foreign to our own, those who cling to views we’ve outgrown or progressed beyond, or perhaps maybe we are the ones that have yet to make the growth? The only area we can make progress is on ourselves by rising above our egos and sensing the love for our fellow man that is the ultimate spiritual attainment.

I loved this about spirituality being practical too! Including it in your daily life!

I don't agree with this. Spirituality I'd consciousness. The more conscious you become you connect to the universe God the great Devine source energy. You ascend go into different realms. Spiritual ppl go within religious ppl go to the Bible. All great spiritual teachers are God based

I still don’t understand…

I’ve always known that spirituality was different from religion but can’t one embrace a personal relationship with a higher power and still be considered spiritual?

I am sorry, but this explanation seems monumentally ignorant to me. You start the video rather well, mentioning that there is no clear definition of the words, and that many people essentially disagree on it. The rest of the video however continues to describe a definition of spirituality, as if it can be defined like this.

I am afraid that you're wrong. This is all just your opinion. The synonyms you mentioned aren't synonyms. You effectively described skepticism along with some other things, but failed to address exactly what you implied at the start: that spirituality seems impossible to define, because everyone defines it differently, and we all just kind of 'feel' what it means.

People who are watching this video and think it makes sense: please, don't stay in this echo chamber. It sounds great, but you'll find none of this is agreed upon.

Spirituality is to love and be loved without conditions.

Great Teaching.....religion leader must learn from this.

That was the best explanation I’ve heard since my awakening in 2010, Great job man. Just subscribed 🎉

I’m past the stuck part we’re you won’t believe any thing else but what you are told I’m very close to closing my ego completely I completely changed all out side appearance to see who would dip bc they don’t need to be around I’m able to convince my self I like things like my job and school and Task it’s all about the way you think about it and if you keep thinking it’s good and everything about what your doing is perfect it eventually will be

That questions "what is ego" and (for myself) "does ego have a meaning, or are these meanings just theories", actually brought me here😂

Spirituality is the self actualization and realization of one's highest self. The very essence and nature of bliss, self fulfillment and inner peace despite the underlying worries of this earth.

Hello
I enjoyed this video .
But, my primary criticism is that it seems to reduce spirituality to psychology .

It’s Philosophy that one lives by

“Freeing yourself from the monkey mind” 🙏

So spirituality is more on the agnostic side, they question everything and accept the bare facts.

To attain true spirituality one must realize the source of life. The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their oneness with God and all its powers, and when they realize at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit and that its center is really everywhere, it is within each of us. Love you fellow human that will yield heaven within you. Live for God. Worship him with all thy heart..

Blind fate? Is that a thing I'm unaware of now?

Judaism disagrees with most of that, and their ideas were tried and tested with the scientific method by early Kabbalists, 6 thousands of years ago, confirmed and developed a lot further since then.

You defined mindfulness (at least I heard you do it once) stop making and making money by making shit up. You are akin to a deepak chopra fake guru…

Accepting the truth Bo’s just that, nothing spiritual about that!
