there is a huge difference between been religious and been spiritual.
been religious is about been superior to others in the sight of god.
however, been spiritual is about self awareness, inner peace and unity with the natural world.
Viviane, we seem to be at odds here. I'm sorry you disagree with my views. I am not implying you don't value those ideas. I merely wish to point out that what those inspiring people aimed to teach us was to display qualities that are essential to humanity and that religious dogma has no real place in spirituality.
Take care xx

Yes that's my point. All the spiritual figures in history taught to same few principles. Principles of which I believe are the mark of true spirituality.
Principles I hold myself too as a standard of living

Who should you believe? I don't know who you should beleive as I am neither your rabbi or your guru.
I however beleive that all humanity has the need to be fulfilled by something beyond the superficial. A desire to grow mentally, contribute to the community and be at peace with themselves.
When you take what the afore mentioned said in its simplest terms they encouraged
Regardless of their political, religious or cultural views I believe holding to values such as these are what they wished for us all to achieve.
Muhammad taught these principles yet fought in wars.
Jesus taught these principles yet upheld the mosaic law.
Bhudda taught these principles while denying all his desires.
I agree with these principles while.....
Jesus only said the law would not pass away until it was fulfilled which he believed he did upon dying. X

Who should you beleive?
Study the works of spiritually influential people from all cultures and see what conclusion you draw
Hitler, Starlin and other dictators did not start spiritual movements based on spirituality
Jesus spoke out against the religious hypocrisy and dogma of a law that was still regarded as godly
Hope this is not side stepping what you asked. Thanks xx
after todays watchtower lesson, and the lessons coming, something tells me bigger and bigger new understandings are coming.
and that it will culminate with 1914. notice how jesus is now coming, and no longer already here.
the current understanding is both, he is here and hes also coming.

Wow Viviane, your mind is amazing. Jesus would be heavily influenced by Judaism as he was raised under it. Bhudda was raised in a hindu culture which I fluency his words too. But when you look at what these men said there is a common thread.
I don't beleive Jesus desired his followers to claim spirituality by:
As the Bhudda himself would say, "I have nothing to teach"
