Does spirituality matter?

[blazeofglory]

We as a matter of fact seek for spirituality when we are hard-stormed with realities. There are some realities we can not acclimatize ourselves with or we fail to get it adoptive to our environment we turn to spirituality for solace.

I appeal let us take spirituality differently and let us make it part of life, an integral part, not in times of sadness or when we feel lost. Let us take it as we take education when we are infants. Let us take on this journey from our infanthood.

Spirituality has little to do with God and heaven. Here on earth spirituality helps us maintain our relationship with one another. Spirituality generally means to realize the universal spirit that permeates through all beings notwithstanding the fact that we have different faces. For differences if we see anything is only when we look at things from a optically deluded point.
See without any illusion, purely from our own point of view we are one great cosmic being.

Today I see people becoming corrupt in the name of spirituality but the essence of spirituality is something different. Spirituality to me means to be able to understand our relationship with the universe. It is something cosmic, not religious. Spirituality is the feeling that we all are one cosmic spirit.

Couldn't disagree more. Spirituality, as a general term, really isn't what I'm interested in. I'm interested in relationship with the God that created me. We, as a unit, the 'great cosmic being' as you call it, are effectually separated from God and the only way to God is through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Jesus said as much. He said in John 14 "I am THE Way THE Truth and THE Life". Notice I capitalized the word "THE" - I did so for a reason. In English we call that the definite article. Meaning He is not one of many 'ways' to God, He is the only way.

Now you may not believe that, but I do. If you do not believe that then you have to conclude that Jesus is either insane or a liar. So my question to anyone who reads this is what do you consider Jesus: liar, lunatic or Lord. He can only be one.

Spirituality is man's way of achieving this very thing, relationship with the God (or gods, depending on the stance they take). There has been a path cleared for us to accomplish this and there is no other way.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful to others religions and if the moderator considers this disrespectful, I will post no more on this section, but I can't simply say that we are all on our way to God, just taking different paths, when it simply contradicts the very words of my Lord. That would be dishonest to all who read this and to the Lord that bought me.
