What is Spirituality?

To each of us this will mean something different. Religion, yoga, meditation, magic. But spirituality is connecting to spirit. Our soul and all other souls are spirits that manifest in different ways. Spirituality is basically connecting to your soul and reviewing your lessons and experiences through soul language. It is the manual for a soul having a human experience.

Soul language is love and this generates kindness, compassion and respect. Our soul has traveled through many lives and experiences, and has collected enormous amounts of knowledge from this. When we meditate, or go inwards, we reflect on these experiences and use them to gain wisdom. The path of life is the challenges that help us gain wisdom. We go out into the physical world and experience, then withdraw into the spirit world, or subconscious, and review. Over time, we learn lessons and understand the many manifestations of love. To understand love, we need to know the loss of love and love gone wrong.

Many of our experiences are based around the learning of these lessons, and spirituality is the dimension where we seek help, review with other souls and draw on universal energy to replenish us. When we experience the positive aspects of love, we feel great, on top of the world and thriving. But then we are afraid of losing this feeling, and so we create fears and doubts. These in turn manifest their own experiences and then we lose the positive aspects of love and cycle through the negative aspects. We will be the victim and the abuser at different times, and through this we learn what loss or absence of love feels like, and our fears can make us harm others in our pursuit of love again.

There are two worlds. This first is a world where we buy love. In this world, our ego tells us that love is limited and we must work hard and compete against others to find it. Love is manifested through becoming successful and then we argue over the meaning of success. We are afraid of missing out, so we compete, and when we compete the rules are never fair, so we sometimes play a dirty game to win. But when we do find love, we desperately hold onto it, telling lies, living lies, afraid that we may lose it if we showed our true selves. We create personas, until we don’t know who we really are. We look externally for reinforcement, and denigrate anyone who threatens our sense of self. We create an image of a lovable person, and only associate with people who find us lovable. But they don’t love us, they love what we give them. And it all falls apart when we realise that we have created a self based on lies and the people around us are just propagating that lie for their own benefit.

The second world is where we find love through the generation of love to others. When we generate love, it attracts others who are seeking love. Some are harmed in their soul, and will seek repair through taking our love but are unable to give it in return. Others will offer love in return, but have not gained the wisdom to accept or give this love unconditionally. But first we need to love ourselves. If we do not love and accept ourselves, we will keep looking to others for reinforcement. I loved you therefore you should love me back. This is false. When you love yourself unconditionally, you can generate love for others unconditionally. This may be used by them to heal, to restore their energy, and to have the courage and wisdom to continue on their journey of learning. But if it is conditional, it will deplete you and you will feel drained after these encounters. If it is unconditional, you will have infinite amounts of love to give to others.

Spirituality is the journey of learning to love yourself unconditionally. It is through the experiences that we endure that we learn to accept ourselves and all of our faults. It is how we learn to relinquish judgement. How we learn to forgive, to show compassion and kindness when someone harmed us, to be a true loving soul no matter what the experience or circumstances. When we have achieved the wisdom to be able to love ourselves unconditionally, then we are able to love others unconditionally and help them on their journey towards wisdom. When we have achieved this, we have attained true freedom from the ego.

Spirituality is about accepting the experiences we have endured and removing ego from these. That is what we call letting go. It is about releasing judgement and learning to accept everyone and everything as the scene in which we learn experiences. With this we relinquish the darkness from the past that haunts us. Once we do this, we know that the future is just more experiences helping us learn the lessons we need to gain wisdom. We no longer fear or feel anxious, but look forward to these lessons with anticipation. They are our journey to learn what true love is and the freedom that this brings. Spirituality is the connection with the soul to put it all in perspective and create the big picture for ourselves. It holds our past experiences, lessons, and future plans. It holds our teachers, guides and mentors. It is the classroom of love. Spirituality needs our life journeys to help teach us, and we need spirituality to help put it all together and gain wisdom.

Spirituality may come to you through religion, meditation, psychic connections, life threatening experiences, teachings from spiritual gurus and many other forms of information available today. These are all distorted by the ego of you or others, and need to be filtered by your reflections. Your authentic self will filter, which is why part of the journey is finding your authentic self. Spirituality is in reality a personal journey learning about all aspects of love in order to gain the wisdom to be able to generate love unconditionally to yourself and to other souls. When you achieve this, you can reconnect with the source, which is the highest form of love.
