RE: what does it mean to be spiritual
Sorry for the terrible joke, Judy, and sorry for being way off-topic!
I used to work in Chelsea and walked right past Ringo once. Unlike a friend of mine I'm not into autographs or even into celebs, and the poor guy needs peace from all that, right? - so I just walked right past him and his lady. 😉
RE: what does it mean to be spiritual
I feel that to be spiritual means to march to the beat of your own drum. Trust yourself, be connected to yourself and follow your bliss. Always be balanced and honest with your self as well. I think that we all possess spirituality within us, it's just a matter of finding it, connecting to it.

Judy and Venetian, thanks for the warm welcome. I will certainly spend some time here and get in on some of these discussions. What wonderful people there are on this forum! So many great sources of new information. I cherish this type of dialogue we have going here. Very nice to be a part of an understanding and diverse group that really wants to help each other understand. I will enjoy getting to know all of you better.
By the way this thread has some very thoughtful responses. What a great read! I especially liked the 'new' definition of religion. Perfect.

Hello Sammyd,
As you said you are feeling a time where you searching but not knowing what your looking for, this could be a time to look at the basis of your spiritual understanding....
Yes this is a great way of bridging the process of bringing spiritualbalancing of yourmissiontogether as there are times in development that we get sort of stuck that we are seaching to bring about our path to understanding this may be a time that you are being processed to bring about your uniqeness to your journeys. At this time I myself usually will go drifting to the process of what is happening in my vicinity to see what spirit is directing this may be a time to close other forms of spiritual influeances such as Yoga or anyother way of relating todevelopmentto see where you path is leading, thismay enable you to shift to the direction of the way that God can step in to bring about the path your ment to be on. As far as looking to this forum can help as there are many different processes to look at as there are many here searching and knowledgable of different forms of spirituality they can bring about a way of looking at crossroads available with this in mind you are bought to the point that the decision to move is inevitable but waiting for the direction to be seen clear will be bought through your moving to new heights in your time only...God Bless you on your Journeys....Gypsy
RE: what does it mean to be spiritual
I think I would say just give it over to the Universal Creator....
Stop searching and simply allow yourself to be a channel for Reiki and love. Take some "me time" - even if it's only the first 5 mins of a morning.
As soon as I open my eyes I say what we know as the Lord's Prayer then repeat the 5 Reiki Principles. I often give thanks for the small blessings of the day and try not to be too down-trodden by the daily trials!
Don't know if this is being spiritual or not, but I'm beginning to feel as if the search is ending.
With love
Glen
