    Religion and spirituality can be together, and many people find spirituality inside their religion, and for them, these differences may not be so relevant or true, since the two things are mixed. But for those interested in pure spirituality, regardless of religious affiliation, let me expand on the difference between religion and spirituality.
    -Religion asks you to believe. Spirituality asks you to look.
    -Religion has dogmas. Spirituality has wisdom teachings.
    -Religion wants obedience. Spirituality wants experimentation.
    -Religion speaks of sin and hell. Spirituality speaks of karma.
    -Religion wants to comfort you. Spirituality wants to liberate you.
    -Religion is external. Spirituality is internal.
    -Religion is the form. Spirituality is the essence.

      When I got married we had to take classes first, when my kids were baptized we had to take classes with the god parents and they had to be approved. I come from a long line of Catholics but all the red tape and strict rules didn’t endear me to the church. It was annoying.
      Spirituality does inspire me to spread love to others and find my purpose at my own pace.
      It was such a blessing to find spirituality which truly brings joy. It inspires me positively and that trickles down to other people. And I literally lost my desires for material things. It changes you.

    As a Christian, I agreed with 95% of what you said! A lot of us are unfortunately religious instead of spiritual which leads people to believe that following Christ is about following rules despite the fact that the Bible encourages us to look at life through a spiritual lense.
    You will heard us Christians say it’s a relationship instead of religion because of how limiting religion is. Take the Pharisees in the Bible for example: they were so set on following religion they didn’t even realize that the very Son of God was amongst them and had him killed. Religious people killed Christ.
    Like someone else said in the comments, true Christians are spiritual. I wish I could go on but this comment is long enough.

      I'm so sorry to you, but f*ck Christ. Religion can be used to translate spirituality to some degree. Worldly religions are just 'ways' of viewing it. Never complete or in full detail. Religion is always a view of men anyways. Truth is one thing; one thing humans are not supposed to know (yet). We do not know, just like we can't substantially prove that Christ really existed or anything of him was connected to a God (which we egotistically tend to center around the gender of men or a human allround.) If a God really exists, I don't suppose we can recognize it.

    I am a spiritual Buddhist and I believe in god but not as a person only as the devine energy behind the entire creation of the universe. God is the energy we all are the energy if you look out in the nature you can literally see that god is everywhere in everything even every breath that we take that is god right there we feel that way because we all are part of this devine energy you can call it god, mother nature, universe or whatever you wanna call it but when you truly believe, accept and surrender to this higher power you will start seeing the reality in different perspective and the true magic of life will begin to happen. That's how I see god

    I was a Christian but I never stayed faithful to one Christian church my entire life. I always didn’t understand how these were all Christian but with quite different views. When I first became connected to God it was at church camp at ask the holy spirt to come with in me. After that I read the Bible every day until I didn’t I become severely depressed. For over a year I was suffering I took shrooms had the worst trip of my life but it cured my depression. Suddenly it vanished over the corse of months I begin questioning & seeking & became in tune with spiritually. I see God as my higher power because that the name I know. I believe Jesus in body the higher power God. Jesus spirt was Gods. I believe the Holy spirt is the piece of our higher power soul that lives within all of us. That guides us & helps in our journey. Spiritually to me is realizing your higher power lives within you. This video was beautiful

    I was raised on Christianity. I went to VBS every summer, to church every Sunday and sometimes Wednesdays. I was also baptized out of my own choice to be. I eventually started doubting secretly and became depressed. I converted to Buddhism to raise my energy and it worked! I went back to Christianity. THEN I discovered numerology. I now consider myself to be spiritual and I have a hard time explaining what exactly I believe because it feels ridiculous when I try to. But I believe in energy and karma as almost a religion of sorts. I also believe in reincarnation. My family doesn't know but my husband is okay with it, and for that I'm grateful. He's Catholic and my cousin/best friend is Christian. I'm 29 now and I still want to believe in Jesus Christ but because we don't know what happens after death, it gives me all the more reason to explore. We don't know if any of us is right or wrong.

      I can totally relate! I grew up Seventh Day Adventist which is a Christian denomination. When I was young, I was very attached to the religion. Choose to get baptized at around 8 or 9 years old. Kinda grew out of that but still was forced to go to church and all that stuff. I went to Christian schools my whole life. It wasn’t until college where I said to myself “ok I need to step away from this religion and ask myself is this what I really believe.” So now…I’m trying to figure it out, but it can be scary. For us kids who were raised Christian we were taught if we don’t believe in God or do what he wants then we are damned to hell. If that’s true then I guess I’m screwed, but I hate the idea of that. All these religions, wars over religions, because we all have a slightly different opinion on what life is! It’s enough to make my head spin. I honestly feel like we’re all right and we’re all wrong. If God is real then I think he exists in different ways to different people. The world is too big, there are too many people in this planet or universe for only ONE group of us to be right.

He was raised Catholic, and he believes it, but he also thinks that our higher being shows itself to us in the way we need. Buddha, Jesus, etc. is all the same thing. We just have different ways of identifying them. It's truly mind-boggling. Look up different religions and try to find similarities numerically. Get back to me.

    I goosebumps and picked it up saying sorry to god and then I read it and my depression got cured in 3 days of reading me
    But there's something bothering on my mind do god really use the Bible to show his existence does this bible is real or just human made and I started questioning so much things that I researched online about my questions and I found spirituality and I started meditating receiving some answers yes God showed his existence through bible because that's the only thing 3D people like me before who believe that bible is the connection through god that's why he showed me a bible to show that he is real that there is a creator.

    I wouldn't say Spirituality has anything to do with a higher being or supernatural entity and therefore you could still be a spiritual atheist. Atheism isn't a set of values or principles its just a non belief in a supernatural entity. Nature is natural, animals are natural, the universe is natural... nothing is supernatural. I would suggest that Spirituality is the search for meaning within our human existence, our natural existence. An appreciation of the wonders of the universe as we find it, and our place in it, without trying to answer it. a search for meaning not answers.

    My view on spirituality is it is more of an all encompassing natural phenomenon, or in essence a fundamental truth about the universe and we are grasping at straws and trying to understand.
    Religon is discouraging the grasping of said straws. It limits itself because it only allows for strict adherence to a belief against any other and questioning the religous doctrines is at many times punishable.
    Science grasping at straws is encouraged and is better because it relies on facts, but still it has faults, there is rigidity and dogma especially towards the theories that have been established but which may in fact be wrong, a prime example is Alfred Wegener and his theories about continental drift and how it conflicted with the old theory that Earth never changes.
    The biggest difference though, between the two, is understanding that science is not afraid to admit when it does not know how or why something happened, it tests hypotheses and changes them if the data doesn't support. When the facts and evidence outweighs the dogma of the old belief, science allows for changes to it's hypotheses after new data becomes available and accepted. Alfred Wegener and the theory of plate tectonics were only accepted after the discovery of the mid ocean ridges and the old theory just could not explain a central ridge of volcanoes constantly expanding sea floor.
    I say Science is more spiritual because it seeks to understand what it does not know and it is far more philosophical than many people including scientists want to believe, I look towards music as a primary example. Most of us connect to certain songs on a very deep level. A good symphony, a moving song, they can be explained scientifically as a pleasing set of numbers if broken down into corresponding mathematics, but all the numbers and data sets in the world can't make me feel what I feel when listening to a moving song. But still I find it fascinating that there is something deeper mathematically to it all and that's where I think science and spirituality need to meet. Attempt to answer the unanswerable.
    I could ramble forever and describe deeper but I feel the message would get lost so I end here.

      Like St. Therese of Avila, St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Agustine, who are well-known mystics and role models for Christian spirituality. And religion, like philosophy, frequently tries to answer questions. They aren't grasping at straws(i think). You're not familiar with metaphysics? I agree on your insight. I learned alot. Thanks.

    People often confuse spiritual soul-development with the demands of religion. Religion is usually an expression of human dualism, seeking to repair a perceived fragmentation or perceived break between man and Source--which is actually an illusion (a product of the separation mindset). Whereas reality is oneness (wholeness).
    Consciousness is reality and "consciousness is meaning" (Barry J DuPont), a meaning that is non-duality. I see that meaning, that non-duality, as Oneness, where Oneness is the expression of Love.
    In non-daulity there is no consciousness of fragmentation, of separation. Love is all there is, even if you are unconscious of the fact that love is all there is. Love, by its very definition, is naturally self-responsibile. Love is its own constraint. Thus our higher soul-self, when operating in this dualistic environment IS self-responsible by nature, relative of course to our level of awareness.
    So there cannot possibly be any walking away from the consequences of our life after its end.
    In my opinion, we are all evolving within Love and a creation of dualism where Love is constantly challenged, provides the opportunities we need for our love to evolve.
    But self-accountability is not like religion where there is perceived to be judgment and punishment for failure. Love is not about failure, for Love keeps no record of wrong. Love, BECAUSE it IS self-responsible, seeks to understand the reason WHY in certain areas, growth inevitably did not take place.
    Does growth matter? It seems to me that it does if your purpose is to ascend. But it will never be out of fear of punishment or hope of reward. Rather it will be the compulsion of Love.

    Thanks for this video dude. I think I’m on some type of journey, call spiritual or existential 🤷🏾‍♀️ idk. All I know is I’ve had this burning sense and desire to connect to more than just this world. I love movies and TV shows like West World, Everything Everywhere All at Once, The Matrix, because I feel like they tackle hard topics like these. I grew up Christian and we were very much taught to stay away from ANYTHING having to do with “spirituality” because they equate that to witchcraft and stuff. So it’s hard rewiring my original hardwiring when it comes to this journey. I made a decision in college to step away from my religion I was raised in and try to find the truth that resonated with me. My dad and I have had a couple of long debates over what is “truth” and what isn’t and I think that’s what a lot of Christians get caught up on that they can’t see beyond that and connect with others who aren’t of their religion and see the possible points that might actually make sense in other religions! But I loved your video. I feel like I really resonated with a lot of the points you made!

    It is extremely, depressing and discouraging to realize how much of humanity is either secular/materialistic or dogmatically religious, either/or sort of thing. Two extremes and polar opposites. Being SPIRITUAL, seldom enters into the hearts and minds of the overwhelming majority of our species, on this planet. Those who strive to be Spiritual are very much, in the middle, and very much alone, indeed.

    You're too hard on yourself. I understood your analogy. I've been feeling a bit strange lately. Like you, I was an atheist, raised Catholic till around 12 I rejected the faith based on the greed of the church, harm to indigenous people, and slowly no longer believing that Jesus or the Bible were divine, though I still liked Jesus as a person I saw him moreso as "a philosopher."
    I'm 19 now, and I've never done Psychedelics, but in dealing with my own issues, and now actually studying philosophy I realise that I know really nothing. Am I becoming a spiritual person? I'm not sure.
    Not sure why I bothered to write this all. I guess I've had a lot on my mind, and wanted to vent just a tiny bit of it.

    I do agree that spirituality is having our own experience. Its important to be focused on spiritual success. True Christians are not religious, but spiritual. Jesus Christ was a spiritual figure Who brought the importance of spiritual understanding and tried hard to get people to think and act like God. Giving us purpose by saying we are Gods children. Children holds higher positions and identity in a kingdom than servants.

    Thank you! I feel like you have summarized many of my comments on religious videos, especially the fact that religion is quite hypocritical - it’s so divisive, while preaching to love your fellow man, etc..
    I, too, am very scientifically minded, even after being raised Catholic and attending 16 years of Catholic school. However, my experience was not full indoctrination; I was given, and accepted, the opportunity to take several classes on different world religions. And my schools welcomed all peoples of all faiths and backgrounds.
    I have recently taken on a self-study of religions - not only beliefs and doctrines, but where, when, and how they originated. Many religious texts are very good historical sources when you are able to recognize what to look at and what to discount. Comparing religious texts to secular accounts and archaeological evidence is fascinating.
    The answers of origination vary, but basically, I believe man created the gods because they had no scientific knowledge to explain everything around them. This continues to be true to this day. But as time progresses, so does our knowledge and understanding. Religions also evolve or simply ignore proof contrary to their teachings. The Bible itself has gone through tremendous change (by man) and man decided what books (written by man) would be considered part of the religious teachings.
    Following a specific religion means following the opinions of men whom you’ve never met. You should follow your own beliefs, not someone else’s.
    I am almost 50, and trying to figure out where I fit and what fits me. The closest idea I feel connected to is Buddhism. But faith in something that was defined by man, but can not truly be quantified, feels unnatural.
    Therefore, I think a wider concept like spirituality is something I should explore further. I do not necessarily believe that a god or a higher power doesn’t exist; I simply believe that religion/man has dictated what that higher power is, what that power is responsible for, and what that power wants. I think humans are incapable of understanding a greater power such as God, as religion (i.e. man) would have us believe. The fact is, man has no way of knowing these things, at least not yet. Perhaps someday, eons from now, we will know. But I don’t believe we ever will. Human brains are just too simple to understand something so undefinably and infinitely complex.
