If you stopped here on this post, there is a good chance there is something to spirituality that beckons some interest within you. Just about everybody will hear the name, but not everybody will ever give serious thought to the subject, not knowingly anyway.
If you have ever looked at the Stars above, or perhaps the dawning of spring and wondered how this is what it is, or sat and wondered where and what you are in relation to this life and world. More simply put, wondered why am I here? If you ever watched the movie "What the Bleep do we know?" and find yourself fascinated. ( A movie I personally recommend, by the way.) Have you tried to understand your relationship to your God? And try to make sense of the seemingly senseless dogma that comes with all that? If you have done any of that and other similar things, then you have been a student into spirituality an were not aware of it.
By Dictionary definition this is spirituality: " 1. The quality or state of being concerned with religion or religious matters : the quality or state of being spiritual. " It is also defined this way." 2. Something that in ecclesiastical law belongs to the church or to a cleric as such. 3. Sensitivity or attachment to religious values, 4. The quality or state of being spiritual. "
My life has been a mixture of good and bad, and it is out of that, and a lifelong underlying desire to understand spirituality that I have come to where I am. The discipleship in spirituality comes in two directions, my lifelong belief in God, and then having to really have to take a look into myself in order to understand why I have been doing what have been doing. It is having to take a real and honest look into myself where the spirit in me is concerned, a brutal, and equally rewarding trek so far. By general definition when looking at the motion of practices in my life I am a Blockhead.
But as of today a blockhead with something useful to share.
I am going to see if I can steer a subject not easily confined, in such a way that all who read this may be touched. I am going to do it may different ways, and through a great array of subjects. I am not the first to ponder and share, nor am I the least in this subject, and quite fortunately I will never be the last.
It I a hope that I actually find a bit of a following in this post, what I aim to share is useful, and can be of help.
Now for the practical:
1. If you are a skeptic, or a critic, great. I will always keep the ability to post comments open on this avenue of my Blog. My simple request is if you are skeptical, or critical and you post, be respectful, and coherent.
2. What I share is not the Panacea Blog to Spirituality, to be a student into spirituality is much like the scientists who study Cosmology, it is far too broad to put into one single package. You can only examine bits and pieces, then back up for a bit and try to see where it fits in the whole of the universe, much as a Cosmologist does when they try to understand Dark Matter over Light Matter, or why in the Quantum Physics area does all logic and understanding break down and seemingly come to a screeching halt sometimes.
3. Consider what I share, compare what I share and use that which is shown to be relevant to you. Don't worry about what gets left behind, the next person will be able to put that into practical use.
4. Anything that I post, because the subjects I ill be using may not always seem to have anything to do with Spirituality will always be titled with Spirituality for the specific post. Just as this particular post was titled.
5. Have a wonderful day!! :-)
