What is Spirituality?
If someone were to come to me and ask, “What is spirituality?” I would say that it is the awareness that there is much beyond the physical life that we are living here on Earth.
Spirituality is the knowledge that this life we are living today is only the tiniest part of the infinite life we experience on our quest to become one with the Source, the Supreme Being, God and all of the other names we call the Ultimate Being.
We are all part of a spirit world made up of every living thing, all working to advance to that point when someday we will be at the highest level possible: one with the Source.
Spirituality has nothing to do with religion or lack of religion. You are a spiritual being whether you believe it or not, whether you are religious or not.
In the spiritual realm, on the other side, you are loved beyond your wildest hopes and dreams, as you are here, although you may not feel it often. You are never alone because you are watched over by spirits and spirit guides in the other realm, who have only your growth and best interests at heart. They are far wiser than we are and are filled with compassion as they love and watch over us. We will meet them when we cross over into the next realm after our death and it will be a joyful reunion.
If that same person then asked me, “What about reincarnation? I’m having trouble believing we live more than one life.” I would tell them that when we come into this life on our planet Earth, we forget everything we have left on the other side in order to have a pure human experience here. We have to rediscover what we once knew. It is part of being human. Millions of people here on Earth believe in reincarnation, people of many cultures and religions. I ask only that you be open to learning more.
One final and most important part of knowledge around spirituality, is that we, and everything else we know, are made up of energy. Energy changes but it never dies. It goes on forever and so will you, in other forms, in other lives. This is wonderful news as it takes away the fear that death is final. If you have read the book, Know Your Spirit: An Introduction to Spirituality, you’ll know what happens next. And the joys awaiting you on the other side.
