Spirituality Room

Exploring Spirit, Embracing Connection

Truth will prove itself in time.  We can’t teach it to others if we don’t know it ourselves. Edgar Cayce

Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.   –Muhammad Ali

Here, we don’t subscribe to any one religion, philosophy, or belief system. Instead, the purpose of this Room is to explore the spirit within us all—and how it connects to the human experience and our journey here on Earth.

Discovering your personal spiritual path is a vital part of growth, enhancing every aspect of life. In this Room, we’ll explore teachings, philosophies, and spiritual ideas—ranging from ancient traditions to modern perspectives—and how they can influence the way we live.

For those who choose to proceed, we invite you to come with an open mind, an empty cup, and a spirit of respect for one another’s faith and beliefs.

Spirituality Vs. Religion

Let’s talk about the elephant in the room: being spiritual does not mean being religious.

Spirituality celebrates the good in humanity. It’s about cultivating morality, compassion, and a deeper connection to life itself. Many people identify as spiritual without following a religion. Spirituality is a personal journey—one that can be shared with others but doesn’t depend on any set of religious beliefs.

For example, an atheist can be deeply spiritual, embracing values like kindness, honesty, and service to others. At the same time, those in religious roles—priests, pastors, or imams—may fail to embody true spirituality when their actions cause harm.

The point is simple: spirituality is not defined by religion, but by how we live, act, and connect.

                                                  

Religion is the practice of a structured system of faith and worship—something its followers hold as supremely important. Across the world, this takes many forms: churches, synagogues, temples, mosques, and countless others. Each tradition represents devotion to a particular divine presence or higher power.

But religion is not limited to mainstream traditions. Over time, groups have also formed belief systems around unusual or symbolic figures—yes, even “churches” of Elvis Presley, Satan, or money. At its core, however, religion is about organized devotion: a collective practice centered on what a group believes to be ultimate truth. 🌿🌿 🌿

Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.
-Saint Augustine

There are four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. 

What is sacred? 

Of what is the spirit made? 

What is worth living for and what is worth dying for? 

The answer to each is the same. 

Only love. – Plato

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places, wrote Ernest Hemingway 

Death by Kitsugi is a Japanese art form where highly skilled Artists repair pottery and other broken items with tree sap and flecks of gold. These broken objects are reborn into treasures where their cracks and flaws are transformed into beauty and strength. Haven't we all been broken? What if we could change how we view the parts of us that have been broken? What is beauty really?

Wabi-Sabi

In very simple terms Wabi means humble and simple and Sabi means rusty and weathered. (description from nobelharbor.com and from "The Wabi-Sabi House" by Robyn Griggs Lawrence.) Watch the video and peel back the onion and see how a little wabi-sabi can shift our perspective and perhaps ultimately save us from ourselves.

All religions have one common ground – the light of God is kindled in each heart. – (paraphrase from Master Chunyi Lin)

Tenzin Gyatsu His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu Archbishop Emeritus of Southern Africa talk about life, death, and their relationship to one another.

42 Laws of maat

What is it?  Could it be true that 10 commandments in the bible were only part of the laws that mankind was to live by?  What happened to the other 32 why were they left out?
