Spirituality

Spirituality is a broad concept with room for many perspectives. In general, it includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves, and it typically involves a search for meaning in life. As such, it is a universal human experience—something that touches us all. People may describe a spiritual experience as sacred or transcendent or simply a deep sense of aliveness and interconnectedness.

Some may find that their spiritual life is intricately linked to their association with a church, temple, mosque, or synagogue. Others may pray or find comfort in a personal relationship with God or a higher power. Still others seek meaning through their connections to nature or art. Like your sense of purpose, your personal definition of spirituality may change throughout your life, adapting to your own experiences and relationships.

The lyrics to this song that was released this week really spoke to my spiritual practice loosely chasing Zen Buddhism.

Hello all,

So I thought I would share this here for anyone who may be seeking community. SBT is a virtual Sangha founded by Ven. Tenzin Tarpa, a monk in the Tibetan Gelug tradition, with the distinction of being nominally secular in their approach.

I am a member, though I don't meet with the group very much because of some baggage attached to my relationship with group practice, even a secular one (I'm an ex-Hare Krishna... suffice to say that damage was done).

Still, I am very much in support of their work, they have daily meditations and weekly classes, if someone here could benefit from that, I thought I would share.

Great explanation of this belief system. A deist is a person who believes that God designed and created the world and governs it through natural laws that are inherent in everything**___** The main understanding is that life comes from God and we are to use it as God intends, as illustrated in Jesus’ parables.

For anyone like me that has a more "cosmic consciousness" type of spirituality. This is (so far) my favorite adaptation of the original short story by Andy Weir.

What are your favorite or most useful books on witchcraft, occultism, or spirituality in general? Poetry and myth count, too.

Sri Krishna Govinda Hare Murare He Natha Narayana Vasudeva He Natha Narayana Vasudeva

Sri Krishna represents the pure Self, the center of Consciousness, the way to the Divine, Narayana. “Govinda” refers to Krishna as the loving protector of humanity. “Hare” indicates the removal of suffering; “Murare” denotes Krishna as the destroyer of demons within; “He Natha” means “O Master (Lord)”; and “Vasudeva” is the Supreme Being who permeates all.

This is an animated reading of a shorty story from Lesswrong That proposes a unique view on of a humanity's role in existence, and how we can find hope in a chaotic and cruel universe.
