I believe spirituality is the constant pursuit of being in touch with one's own spirit, with the life force that drives us all things to exist. The difference between spirituality and religion then is that religion is a convention - a way for people to talk about similar experiences with similar terms. Christianity says you're born again, Buddhism says you've attained enlightenment. All of these religions have differing terms for the same thing. What is that ultimate goal then? What does it mean to be enlightened or to be born again?

When we're born, we're free. We have no expectations, no fear of judgement. Then we're conditioned into believing we have to behave a certain way and say certain things to gain the approval of the rest of the Universe. Being born again/enlightened means to decondition your Self back to a place of pure love. There is only Fear and Love, and we have the ability and the right to choose Love.

I believe the term God is synonymous with Love, the Tao, Spacetime, Aether, Field of Potentiality, etc. Despite what modern physics and renormalization tells us. The vacuum of space has an infinite amount of energy. To me, that's God/Love/Tao. Spirituality is the pursuit of cultivating an awareness of our interconnectedness with that infinite energy, to see that we are one and the same. Then, extrapolating, that everyone and everything arises from that same field.

I believe we do come by all of this naturally, if we are aware of awareness. I like this quote from Conversations with God, "If I do not go within, I go without." All of the stuff religions and spiritual folk talk about can be verified through introspection. And that's precisely the reason why there's so much skepticism surrounding the matter. All of this can only be verified through subjective experiences.

I can talk till the end of time about how I believe what I do, but the only way you'll believe me is through looking inward.
