We were created / designed / evolved ( ? ) to be connected to the Universe & the Creator thereof, but we have trouble maintaining the purity & clarity of the connection because we surround ourselves with technology. I'm NOT knocking technology, but it can interfere with our search for & recognition of the Divine, & our sense of belonging to / connection with the Universe. ( I am refraining from injecting my own personal beliefs & the beliefs that I was raised with here overmuch. ) I believe Teilhard de Chardin referred to Nature as " The Great Book of The Universe " & it should be studied like the Bible, or Qu'ran, Buddhist Sutras, Hindu Gita, etc. Hence to reconnect / reaffirm our connection with the Universe it behooves us to find areas of
( relatively ) unspoiled territory & view it, enjoy it, drink it, breathe it in when possible. Some of my best memories are from time spent in the woods or the mountains, watching a lunar eclipse, a meteor " shower ", clouds in a mountain valley, a sunrise / sunset. It was like God was there via His creation. I spent about 30 minutes gawking at a sundial sitting near the middle of an urban mall where I live. I marveled that a connection to the natural world should be in a synthetic urban area. Read about Frank Lloyd Wright's philosophy of architecture. He believed in designing houses & buildings that didn't separate the inhabitants from nature, but were OPEN to nature. Just an example.

Do you know what a spiritual connection really is? Ohhh yes :)
Are you aware of your innerself and its capabilities? Ohhh yes :)
Or are you 'too busy' in the materialistic world? Guess *smile*
Do you think there is more than what human eyes can see? Oh, but we can see much more than just physical with our human eyes, you know ?
Nice to meet you, Spiritual Traveler ;)

I feel I am spiritually connected but lose the awareness of the connection too often. Sometimes I feel lost and caught up in the materialistic world, longing to be reunited with the spiritual. I think human eyes see only illusion. Ego is the problem. I think I need guidance and a helping hand to reach the goal of true spiritual awareness.

Spiritual connection is the aim behind our Creation. The Creator wants to get the wise ones through this life. Puzzle is so cryptic that only the most wise will come out.
The inner world is equal to the whole universe. One who finds it is wise.
Material world is needed for the survival in flesh that is the dwelling place of my spirit. I am not too busy but I work to live.
Yes there is an unseen world that has the true realities.

These are beautiful questions...Thank you for them. I would have to say that I am a Christian, just to establish that from the beginning.
Yes, I do know what a spiritual connection is and mine is with my Lord. Others may have their spiritual connection with other deities or what have you. That connection is very meaningful to me.
I sometimes feel like I am too busy, but I try not to let the World and its ways burden me too much.
As a Christian I do believe that there is more than our eyes can see. The Visible World or realm and the Invisible (spiritual) World or realm. As a Christian I believe GOD created them both.
Again, your question is refreshing and thank you.

I absolutely think that we are all interconnected to each other, to the world around us, including the world we can't see and ultimately to our source creator, the process of life.
I am aware of my innerself and its capabilities. I am aware that I create my own reality through the universal law of attraction. Emit positive, experience positive, emit negative, experience negative. It's really so much more simple than we realize to have a happy and fulfilling life.

Of course there is more than the human eyes can see. Just ponder on if you only viewed the world from the atomic level. People and their surrounds aren't that different after all from that view.
