What’s the difference between spirituality and religion? For the majority of my life, I was opposed to religion and when I would hear the term “spirituality”, I’d just associate it with religion, and therefore saw no interest in pursuing. I’ve now come to realize the two terms are very different. Spirituality refers to a wanting to connect to something higher than oneself, which is like religion, but spirituality is a much broader concept. Religion seeks something higher than oneself but there’s rules to religion. You’re forced to adopt certain beliefs and relay your thoughts and experiences towards the beliefs of that religion. In spirituality, there are no rules. You must find all the answers yourself. In this video, I compare and contrast spirituality and religion on a deeper level.

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.
Whats the music you use ?
Indeed its a great Video, I know of a Spiritualist who can cast love spells, marriage spells and so many spirit affairs..

Thank me later
Message him,
Thank you so much for this video! I was looking for answers and then i came across your video, SO grateful for that! Not too long ago i got into spirituality which really opened my eyes but the thing is, my family is strictly religious so I always had to follow them, basically since birth. Now that my I see things differently, outer from the circle that my parents taught me was the truth, I would ask questions because I was genuinely curious, their contradicting responses made me question if I was on the right path, I do understand where they are coming from as they were taught the same way from their own parents though so their responses are based on their own lenses. I truly thank you for this video🥰
Everything was just fine with me until you mentioned Deepak Chopra…
This video is really well explained really good video man 👍
Wowwwwww! Now I know that I am not the only one who thinks this way.
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
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.
So 8:45 nirvana is Buddhism ☸️ last time I checked, it was a religion. So what you saying questioning is good but not if you want to know the real answers.
Region is limited unless you a Buddhist.
Noice.
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”
I believe that you can have both spiritual beliefs and Christian faith. Their are also many other quotes like this in the Bible that says something similar. Not all religious people are closed minded to all ideas. An example of That is me. Also not all religious people are driven by pressure and fear to keep their beliefs. I know most of you will think that but it varies from person to person. Pressure and fear has never been a thing for me. But what I’m saying is that I am able to have my Christian faith and spiritual aspects.
“Standing on the bare ground,–my head bathed by the blithe air and uplifted into infinite space,–all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eyeball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or parcel of God.”

Just a side note. Not all wars are fought in the name of religion.

Glad i found this channel. Video was great, exactly the insight i was looking for, keep it up. I have felt the same way and feel the same way. Always nice to know i’m (we are) not alone in these thoughts. 🖤
best u ever made bro ppl dumb for not clicking lol
I became Spiritual because…
(It's a long story but I'll shortcut it)
I got depressed and I was so mad and angry and crying questioning so much things I even did blasphemy I talked to god with curse words and ask if he exist because I was so depressed that time and then I pushed all the items in my room I was so uncontrollable destroying things and then I get tired I sat down my bed and then look at the sun facing my eyes I was so angry because my eyes is getting hurt by the light of the sun so I looked down and saw a Christian Bible
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.
That's my story why I became spiritual I questioned alot of things
Im so happy that i found your channel, you helped me a lot. This channel deserves way more subscribers
Have you ever combined LSD with mushroom
Science – they won't experience the life force they just name this this and this.
Religion – group of people BELIEVE in something they were told by someone who experienced the existence the life force way back .
SPIRITUALITY – One Experiencing the life force by themselves they don't have to believe in something, they see by themselves .Spirituality is One experiencing Oneself that this universe is one .
It doesn't matter if this video has 700 or 7 billion views.
I believe it has fulfilled its purpose anyways by sharing its contents and planting the seed of the idea that there is much more outside and inside of ourselves.
RIP Jeff Buckley
It made sense
I am glad that you decided to tackle this topic! I have been needing this distinction for a while and the way you break it down is wonderful.
Another Amazing Video!
