Spiritual questions answered here

[zanket]

I’ve studied spirituality for a long time now. I’ll briefly answer any questions you have as I see fit. Everything I say may be wrong.

 

[(Q)]

The only right thing you'll be able to comment is that spirits and/or spirituality has never been shown to exist.

Oops.

Whether or not something is right is a belief. Everyone is free to believe in what they choose.

Great. I believe you are a pompous, self-absorbed (and probably young) irritant.

Then I am that for you. God says: "There is nothing that I am not: Therefore, I am what I am, and I am what I am not."

So God is you, but your not God? Sounds a little cookoo if you ask me.

Does God work in ways that you believe you cannot possibly understand?

God is all that is and all that is not. So I am part of God.

It means believing that part of you is a spirit, an eternal being with great power to create as you choose.

Yes, at my current level of evolution. In the same way a kindergartner cannot expect to understand calculus.

The state of being spiritual. See above about what it means to be spiritual.

which part would that be?

Kudos to zanket for supporting his [widely-disagreed with] beliefs...*thumbs up*

The part of you that is a spirit, a soul. You are a three-part being: body, mind, and soul.

Then why bother with the label 'God'? You've rendered it a meaningless term.

Zanket,

The part of you that is a spirit, a soul. You are a three-part being: body, mind, and soul.

That doesn’t answer the question. Which part of you is the soul?

We can identify the body easily enough, and the mind is clearly generated by the brain, what is left? Where could a ‘soul’ be located? There are no organs left that could hold a soul.

You say you have studied spirituality for a long time, does this mean you can show us a soul or spirit? If not then what have you been studying?

It’s a convenient way to refer to “all that is and all that is not.” It has meaning, so it's not meaningless.

The part that is the soul. There’s no simpler answer to this question.

The soul.

Location is not a property of the soul.

No.

If not then what have you been studying?

Spirituality.

Have you read Conversations with God by Neale Donale Walsch? Many of the things you said is in those books and I agree with many of them.

The first thing is that You are a three-part being: body, mind, and soul.

Which part of you is the soul?

The soul evelopes the body, it created the body, but your soul cannot be without your body and mind, for them are the tools of the soul, tools that allows the soul do whatever it chooses to do.

Can spirituality be studied?

You can study as much as you want, but simply studing doesn't do you any good. You can only be spiritual. Knowing and being are two completely different things.

Yes. I think it’s an excellent book.

Yes, spirituality is about being. Study helps to change beliefs.

I hope every one is willing to read that book, cause it's really life changing.
