In my opinion, it’s different for everyone. Spirituality has a broad range. It’s a personal matter, a preference, an ever evolving set of ideals one chooses to attach to and grow along with. There is no right or wrong here. Whether you choose to reside within the confines of a more restrictive practice or are the type who prefers to crack open every new door – you are still practicing a form of spirituality. You are traveling down your path and living your truth.
What about you? What's your version of it?

You want to know the truth?
Spirituality to me is the unbound soul. The spark of a galactic core you continue to be throughout cosmic eternity. Surrounding which, are every form of life you've ever had as a living shell of memories that fractally conjoin and separate from each other through space, not just in or of it.
I think it's a spectrum of living knowledge, living selves, living consciousness experienced through the focused forms of plasma and all of its spectrums through various correlating avenues of continuity.
Unconditional love is how I see myself and other aspects of self, experiencing their own livelihoods. I do wish that some would know less shallow avenues of things they prefer to enjoy being and becoming, but I would never prevent someone from experiencing any kind of depth towards personal focus and faith which calls out to them, or they embrace from within. For these are things often shrouded in memories buried deep behind layers of sometimes broken, and sometimes inaccessible aspects of self understanding or awakening.
Spirituality is a multidimensional form of this to me. A form of awakening from the heart, mind, soul, and all moving functions of the body held together in one still series of moments. And we call that life. Throughout the various subconscious and conscious areas of focus acquiring our attention at times, requiring it in others, and somehow bridging together moments where it is both not required or acquired in our perception of inner and outer self belief through purpose in this manner. To the point where, only through meditation, do these bridges show themselves and by pinpointing or pinging each one, do they reveal how we come together both individually and, as a collective of selves.
I hope that answers your question.
Thanks for sharing your truth. I have just one question:
Can you elaborate on what you mean by this? What's an example of a shallow avenue?
I'll give a few.
The old saying comes to mind. Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Simple minds discuss people. Obscure minds can't make sense of much beyond their own interpretations of data under a cloud of vagueness.
I grew up in a disfunctional family who would alternate between capitalizing upon simplemindedness and or embracing the appearance of having an average mind, but alternated between that and mental cloudedness/vagueness due to prolonged, and continued substance abuse and being burnt out with everything around them, and thinking way too highly of themselves and couldn't accept or expect anything less from someone only if they were interested in playing mental gymnastics.
In other words, they were people who'd frequently use your faults against you if you told them no, even once. Of course I learned the art of forgiveness later on, having discovered how powerful it could be through meditation for my own personal gain. But in truth, dealing with people who are that self absorbed, is not always easy to understand in full, until you realize that there's a spectrum of mental awareness and focus granted to everyone. And that in this life, people who are self absorbed but don't want you to know that, operate upon a spectrum of self conditionality that has a blind spot where, the result becomes everything you make of a situation to their benefit, as opposed to a shared one or a possible relationship without the requirement of a benefit to be named.
I call those who recognize this difference, people that know what it's like to witness others operating at different depths or levels of communication, or awareness. Within which, are octaves of observation that don't dictate, but give a general guideline as to how you'll be perceived if you introduce yourself as someone you are, to someone who may or may not react differently depending on the person they are.
Some call this compatibility testing. I call it purpose driven focus. Because once you know that, you can determine the amount of energy given to you, if you're around someone open minded enough to receive you, and not question why you're receiving another influence in an octave they cannot perceive in full in relation to their own experience. Which is my way of dealing with how to resolve where I stand when encountering others that spend little to no time in commemoration of your becoming. And for those who spend quit e alo tof time within this spacee, I would consider them more of an equal by their own experience in achieving a similar faith or belief through their own exploration of self understanding.
I don't know if that makes more sense or not. For my part I choose to alternate between discussing events and ideas, rather than people or obscure connections that make little sense. But sometimes I don't always know how to express this to the widest possible audience, as my social circle is in a state of renewal at the moment.
