What is Spirituality?
What do you think spirituality is? My guidance
on this, and I totally accept this, is that the soul is
mortal and attached to the ego. Its purpose is to protect
the Spirit from the negative encounters of the ego. The
Spirit can have no contact with negativity in any way.
Though our physical body dies the ego can still remain,
energised by those in this physical world who have a
memory of it. Some of these memories might be negative
and these will energise the negative aspects of the
ego/soul that has survived the physical passing. Of
course there are also the positive memories that retain the
physical form in a soul state through the love memories.
When this state is no longer required by the Spirit it is
shed by the Spirit and the Spirit returns to unity with
God.
Much confusion exists about these terms as
religions have created a scenario to suit themselves and
to enable them to maintain control over their followers.
