Madness and Spirituality
Madness as it relates to spirituality. It is strange. They say the more you learn the less you know. The deeper the knowing goes the less you can say anything for certain and then when you are questioned people just dismiss your responses as being obtuse. You become an expert at learning. Buddhism is often…

Humour in Spirituality
A lot is said about humour in a limited way, but humour like beauty is truth. We can find humour in all things, because in fact there is truth and beauty in all things. Just some might not be to our personal taste. When we call something ugly, all we are saying is it doesn’t…

Physical Spirituality
Some think that spirituality and materialism are exclusive of each other, but if you embrace that you are spiritual then where does your existence arise from? What reason do we have to believe that the physical existence is somehow separate from its physical counterpart? In looking at life (the very physical life that we see around us…

Physics and Spirituality
The origin of the theory of physical separation as an entity is an excellent topic. Quantum non locality and it’s meaning in spirituality. Thinking may not tell you exactly what it is, but thinking heavily suggests that it ‘IS’. Not understanding has nothing to do with whether it exists or not. In fact, the raw…

Health and Spirituality
Health is related to spirituality, the mind-body connection. Like how laughter is healing or at least stabilizing. I have made some observations in life, and in my observation those who are truly happy tend to be very healthy. Also, peoples issues tend to correspond to their temperament. Anyone else observe this? So by default if…

Sexuality and Spirituality
In spiritual pursuits there has always been an element of sexuality. But as far as the philosophies go, like many other things, there have been two paths. Seemingly opposed. One path of austerity and moralism. “Pure” pursuits of selflessness, etc. It’s the dominant path in our culture even today and even in sexual roles. Though…

Roots Of Human Spirituality
We can now look at the roots of human spirituality. We can look at the spiritual tendency as a whole, and we can choose practices that reflect the whole truth of human existence as well as the truth of the individual. You can look at the spiritual instinct in the interpersonal to better understand the…

Roma Spirituality
Back to magic. The Gypsy people do not believe the practice of magick is evil, but they do believe it can be practiced foolishly and cause harm. From their point of view, you respect God and look for his/her hand in the world, look for signs. But if you need healing you do it yourself.…

Spirituality in the Blogosphere by Jane Smith
The blogosphere isn’t necessarily the first place you’d think to get a dose of spirituality. Blogs more than anything else are usually a source of alternate or additional income and usually take practical matters for their subject, often offering consultations and other products for their readers. As secular and monetized as many blogs are, however,…

Guilty Conscience: Legalism in Spirituality by Nadia Jones
Human beings are creatures of instinct, passion, and need. At the most basic evolutionary level, these three drives are what govern our thoughts and actions: when it’s raining, we need shelter; when a predator approaches, we instinctually run or fight; when we are wronged, we passionately seek retribution. Our natural drives and responses, however, are…

How Social Media Can Affect Spirituality by Aniya Wells
Spirituality can be described differently, depending on who you ask. For me, in order to tap into my spirit (even if just for a moment), I must focus on a different level of existence and connect this focus to the harmonious energy of the Universe. I often view spirituality as an orchestra, where everyone plays…

The Spirituality of Writing by Julie Ellis
A Muse By Any Other Name… It is no accident that so many writers, through centuries, have spoken of their “muses.” Some have obviously used the term in a secular and humorous way, to refer to those times when their writing came easily (my muse was “active” or “with me”) and when they experienced writer’s…
