First of All, What Does This Goal Mean?

Being Spiritual.

Just for Giggles, Let’s Google

“Being Spiritual” How many hits?

On my Google right now, first-drafting this blogpost: 1,010,000,000. Yep, 1 BILLION + 10 MILLION

And now, for a treat, Blog-Buddies, I’m going to give you some definitions. Courtesy of Google, these are ultra-high SEO ideas. Regarding what it means to be spiritual.

I Invite You to Score the 5 Following Definitions

Send your answers over here, to my main version of this blogpost, over at my personal blog. (Link just provided.)

Being Spiritual, Definition 1.

According to a Credentialed Psychiatrist, BIG or SMALL Truth?

Spirituality involves the recognition of a feeling or sense or belief that there is something greater than myself,

something more to being human than sensory experience,

and that the greater whole of which we are part is cosmic or divine in nature.

For this particular definition, you can thank psychiatrist Maya Spencer.

Of course, it makes sense that many a psychiatrist or psychotherapist might believe that being spiritual is an emotion. Haha.

Isn’t it common for therapists to ask, again and again, “What did you FEEL?”

Being Pretty Darned Spiritual, Definition 2.

Can Wiki-Type Teachings Bring BIG Truth?

According to the Wisdom of Wikipedia:

Spiritual experiences can include being connected to a larger reality,

yielding a more comprehensive self;

joining with other individuals or the human community.

By that definition, it must be an insanely uplifting spiritual experience to ride a subway at rush hour.

Personally, I’d recommend doing this in downtown Tokyo, during rush hour. I’ve tried it. I’ve loved it.

Only did I consider this a really great instance of receiving anything spiritually? Not really.

Blog-Buddies, this is a very high-sounding definition. For fancy, it would score BIG. But how about for truth, BIG or SMALL?

Being Very Spiritual, Definition 3.

Bringing the Blessings of the Famous Spiritual Teacher, Deepak Chopra

Of course, Chopra would have something to say on this topic.

Here are Deepak’s five tips on how to be more spiritually aware.

Start a Daily Meditation Practice. One of the most effective ways of becoming more spiritually aware is to have a daily meditation practice. …

Cultivate Emotional Intelligence. …

Practice Self-Love. …

Connect More Deeply with Others. …

Cultivate Gratitude.

Note: Back when Deepak was favored by Maharishi, I heard this brilliant man speak at some TM courses for initiators. I’d have to call him the most gifted speaker I’ve ever heard in my life.

Another note: Unfortunately, according to my consciousness lifestyle research, Deepak Chopra is in Extreme Spiritual Addiction. And has been, for years.

Put on Your Discernment Cap, Spiritual Seekers

These days, now that all of us are living in the Age of Awakening:

1. What does a Daily Meditation Practice have to do with being spiritual?
2. What does Emotional Intelligence have to do with being spiritual?
3. Also, what does Self-Love have to do with being spiritual?
4. What does “Connecting More Deeply with Others” have to do with being spiritual?
5. Finally, what does cultivating “Gratitude” have to do with being spiritual?

By all means, share your thoughts about any-and-all of these ideas, Blog-Buddies.

Being Spiritual, Definition 4.

Do Evangelicals Have “a Spirituality”?

Absolutely, according to theolgian and blogger Ian Paul.

This is a thoughtful article. I like what I’ve seen here, not that I’ve read every single word. Here is a quote for you to ponder for truth value, Spiritual Seekers:

Roman Catholic usage has come to associate ‘spirituality’ with the ‘inner life,’ or the ‘interior life,’ thus making the connection with the mystical tradition…

It is not difficult to see how this sits ill at ease with the evangelical emphasis upon practical devotion having a direct influence on character and ‘good works.’

Some of you might have a lot to say about these paragraphs. Well, COMMENT at my blog and go for it!

Or Maybe THIS Is What It Means to Be Spiritual. Definition 5.

In the Opinion of a New Ager Millennial

At the next link provided here, Blog-Buddies, guess what? You can find 10 different recommendations to “become more spiritual.” Here are the top three methods suggested by Kenneth Wong, an “Author and Manifestation Coach.”

1. Raise Your Vibration. Incidentally, the photo shows a well-built Black woman in a skin-tight yoga outfit. Blog-Buddies, what does it mean to you, “Raise Your Vibration”? And what might this have to do with being or becoming more spiritual?
2. Connect With Your Higher Self. Here the accompanying photo shows the face of a gorgeous Asian woman with eyes open. She’s looking upward in a dreamy way. Plus, her hands are in a modified prayer position. Blog-Buddies, what does it mean to you, “Connect with your Higher Self”? And what might this have to do with being or becoming more spiritual?
3. Integrate Spirituality Into Your Life. Might that reasoning seem a bit circular to you? Like “become more spiritual” by integrating “Spirituality” into your life? In case you’re wondering, Blog-Buddies, here the accompanying photo shows a stick-thin White woman. Showing a lot of skin and wearing extremely tight clothes. She’s playing with her hair, in a flirtatious manner. Maybe the most spiritual thing of all is how much of her midriff area is showing. You can almost see the upper portion of her navel. Could she be contemplating that?
