One thing that I have noticed being on this site is the contention between the people that claim to be "Spiritual" and the ones that practice a particular religion.
Just because you practice a specific religion with its particular "dogma" does not mean that you are not "spiritual". The opposite is true also. I have come across many people who call themselves "spiritual" but then live by various dogma of specific religions. A case in point is judgment and condemnation. We are told in our various religions not to judge "lest ye be judged" and not to condemn others. Yet those who are "spiritual" do this also. Just because someone lives by a particular faith with its dogma does not mean that they are not a kind and loving person.
Yet even here on this site there are those who call themselves "spiritual" that condemn those who follow a religious faith....and visa versa I might add.
We are all ONE! We each follow the path of our choosing but should have the same gnosis in our heart.....that we are "spiritual beings having a human experience" not the other way around.
What matters is that at the end of our lives if we can ask ourselves if we were kind and loving to our fellow human beings and all living things, and have that answer be a resounding YES...then we have done what we came here to do. There are many of us, whether we follow a "spiritual" path or a "religious" path, that live love and kindness everyday....and to those people no matter what their path, I say "keep rockin"!
