Religion and spirituality


 

For thousands of years humans have embarked on a spiritual expedition to seek for their true selves in the face of the earth, in this quest, most find themselves searching in the incorrect paradigm. As a spiritual person myself I once found myself searching in the incorrect place.

How do we answer this simple yet complex questions?

·         Who am I?

·         What do I want to?

·         What is my purpose?

·         What is the meaning of life?

The answers to this question depend on someone’s appetite to receiving the truth and guidance as far as the question of religion and spirituality is concerned.

Religion will direct you to a paper explanation of the above questions, probably direct you to so many research documents and more studying with a possibility of confusion. But Spirituality will connect you to the one that is greater than you, the one that will relate the answers to your question in accordance with your purpose.

Now, the big question is, what is Religion and what is Spirituality? Well, by definition, religion is a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices; the service and worship of God or the supernatural. (Brady, August 04, 2020 08:00 AM). Religion is more of a path that humans have initiated and subscribe to for themselves, that is why you find people changing places of religious gathering without being affected spiritually.

And Spirituality, on the other hand, brings an encounter of connection to something larger than you, living everyday life in a reverent and sacred manner.

In a nutshell, I am trying to activate a thought in you and encourage you to look for yourself in the right  place, spirituality allows you to write your story, your life’s journey that you will be judged on when you depart the land of the living.

You will never get to understand who you are spiritual if you take resonance from what others are going through, each and everyone’s life has its own meaning and meanings that will never be understood by everyone else.

In order to find yourself, you need to connect the power bigger then you, as a Christian, my religion directs me to pray through Jesus Christ.
