I think I am to an extent. I like to meditate, pray, do yoga, and spend time with nature. I feel like all of us have that spiritual side that can be nurtured. I think even trying to be kind to others is spiritual. It reminds us
that there’s something bigger that connect us
all.

Dear jack:

Spirituality is not separate from physicality and physicality is not contradictory to spirituality. We are animals and we have that neo-cortex/ rational mind. The two do not have to be enemies. When they are enemies, we are sick. Spirituality is a good word only if it means mental health, mental well being. Of course, there is no such thing as not-physical. Every thought and feeling we have is physical, it is a chemical or energetic neural process. So no getting away from the ANIMAL and NATURE. Spirituality has to work together with the laws of nature: self interest first, for example, everything has to benefit the individual if it is to work (although the male bees that die while mating … oh, I think a whole bee community is considered an individual, but I digress. Yoga feels good because often people “live in their heads” and it is a relief to know there is an extension to the head and we don’t HAVE TO be trapped in that head, nice to spend some time underneath that head.

These are my thoughts this fine morning on spirituality.

I’m spiritual to the point of complete fanciful notions.

Hee. I’m one of the people for whom 11.11 leaps out and grabs me, in peculiar circumstances sometimes. I believe trees have feelings and will always ask before I sit under it. I tell it throw something at me if you want me to go. I’ve seen ghosts and I am beginning to become convinced that there’s an element of ESP in my bones as some coincidences happen too often to be coincidences.
I like the notion of white feathers being spirits and I like the notion that sometimes you can have real meetings of other souls in your dreams. like a coming together to share a message. well I get hat a lot.
I have a word to which I attribute all this beauty and grace. That word to me is God. but… I don’t follow religion so it’s really a faith or a state of mind that I’ve named that, and give thanks to.

My idea of wonder is seeing that leaf that fell off the tree right in front of your eyes and no one in the entire universe saw that but you. that bird with a worm in it’s mouth, the smell of snow, the lowing of cows in the evening.

this complete, and I’m so sorry but, self-indulgent scoop out of my brain there is… for me I follow bruce lee: don’t think; feel.

logic is only man made. the world and its existence makes logic a drop in the ocean. there’s so much more wonder out there.

enjoy.
