008: What is Spirituality?

Spiritual Awakening - Expanding Times Fireside Chats

Today Karen and I bite off far more than we can chew and aim to do the impossible! - To define what we and others mean by Spirituality, which at the same time is somewhat of an oxymoron in that we are always trying at Expanding Times to avoid definitions and stay open to possibilities!

Join us as we discuss

- Why people even start to turn inwards and explore a spiritual path.- Is there only one path or are there many?- What does religion have to do with spirituality and how come we have become so dogmatic over the years?- What is a "quality of religiousness"?- How do religion and spirituality coexist? Can they?- Does suffering end when you become more spiritual?- How becoming more spiritual can help us become more vibrationally attractive and better magnetisers of synchronicity and magic!Many people today are choosing to live in a kind of bubble of illusion that all is well until something major hits the fan, at which point they start to look for meaning and a bigger purpose... to comprehend where they fit into the grand scheme of things. While others are simply so unfulfilled that they begin looking for something more rewarding outside of themselves with which to sustain their lives. What they may not realise at the start of the journey is that the deeper they travel along their chosen path, not only will the route twist and turn as they make new discoveries and ah-ha's, but that the voyage will take them deeper and deeper INSIDE of themselves until they discover the jewel within that is their unique connection to God / Source / Existence / The Universal Energy and the All That Is.

We also demystify the many names that are used synonymously to label that larger energy which powers the Universe; and at the end Karen "downloads" a very touching portion from the beyond that makes me wonder if what we are always trying to define as God is simply the Power of LOVE! It quite took our breath away and left us speechless for a moment!

So tune in to this week's show as I am able to not react while Karen talks about people going off and getting lost in ashrams, as we discuss some collective residual religious conditioning and as always MUCH MUCH more!
