How do you experience your spirituality?

Question

Experience is not what happens to a (hu)man. It is what a (hu)man does with what happens to him.

(Bonus for naming the quote source!)

Erin C - That's it!
Interesting second quote. What happens when you have two groups who appear to be diametrically opposed and they each believe they are exclusively in the right?

Answer 1

Quote by Aldous Huxley

I experience my spirituality by studying my Bible and meditating on God's word.

Here's another quote to consider by Mr. Huxley:
"Those who believe they are exclusively in the right are generally those who achieve something."

Answer 2

I experience my spirituality by living it. It is not seperate from me. It is my life, it is who I am. It is thought and word in action. I Practice Bhakti Yoga (not breathin or gymnastics) it is offering everything you do and say and think as an offering to God also known as Source- Krishna, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, etc. The souce of everything. I offer my food and shop I clean, cook and dress, all in consciousness of God. Understanding that nothing is mine, but is meant for Gods pleasure and service. That is what detachment means or actual renounciation. One has to give up thing if they don't understand this process. but when one realizes nothing is oursin actuality and when they realize its utility, their is no need to give it up. Second part of quesiton- One may be right and one wrong.or One person may be partially right. There are many rights, but some are higher than others. Like some perople are interested in merging with the light (oneness) that exists, but it is not the higest goal though it may be for them, because they may not be in actual knowledge of what is beyond the light. (like the Supreme Person, in which that light emenates from ) example. One person sees a train at night who has never seen a train before- he sees in the distance the light and he is satisfied that he has seen a train (though only partially right) He says a train is a bright light. Another person says it is a big machine with a light and still another person says that plus there is a conductor and peple on the trian. That person is in full knowledge the rest are partially right. There are differant levels of self realization and it can take lifetimes to come to the full picture.

Answer 3

I experience my spirituality through relationships with others and though times of solitude. Both are very important. I do not experience spirituality by sitting in a church. For those who do, I am happy for them. For myself, I do not think religion and spirituality are the same thing. For me, spirituality permeates the mundane and the profound. It presents itself in the way I choose to experience the moment. I do not know the source of your quotation, but I do have another one that I like: we are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience. One more thought: for those who believe they are "right". A wise man once said, you can be right or you can be happy, but you cannot be both. Being right always implies that someone has to be wrong. It's very exclusionary. I'd rather be happy.

Answer 5

There is a special light in each of us. This light is the love that you are. This love is also your life force. As you allow this love to come forth, you experience the essence of life. You are happy, alive and free. Life is a joy, and great things happen.

When this love is suppressed, you disconnect from your life force. You lose your joy and you create a life of darkness, a life of fear, upset and suffering.

The opportunity of life is to connect with your life force, to have love in every relationship and in every aspect of life. Making this connection is the essence of spirituality.

Fortunately, there is a power that is much greater than you or me. This power is the source and the essence of love. To me, this power is God.

As you connect with God, and as you experience the presence of God in your life, you enter the garden of Eden. You become the hands and feet of God. You become a channel for God's love, and the universe moves to support you.

You make the connection with God by bringing forth your love. As you bring forth your love, you remove the blocks that keep you separate from God. As you remove these blocks, you experience the presence of God in your life.

Another part of this connection is your relationship with God. A personal relationship will allow you to be in communication and to receive special guidance...
