donroxy: To me , Spirituality is an Interface of Communication within/between Bodies/Souls , it is a system by which Soul correlates with other bodies/souls !!!


Spirituality within HumanBody deals with the process by which your Soul relates with your body while Spirituality between bodies deal with process by which soul relate with another Fellow-HumanBody or ExoBiological/Extra-Terrestial beings (deities) !!!



Therefore,Spirituality to me is a form of Communication Channels by which Souls correlates ......... Which can be within your body or outside your body !!!



In that guise, It is possible for two Souls to communicate without using their Body Organs .... Some kinda Body Bluetooth/Bridge/Reuter/transmitter grin where two Softwares (Souls)/Hardwares(Bodies) communicates ..... That is why I tagged it an Interface !!


Without Your Spirit,Your body is as good as Dead but Just Quasi-Death since your soul is still present therein ...... And If ur spirit doesn't correlate with others , you would feel as if U are the only one on Earth and No other person(s) exist !!!


Spirituality is quite wide and may be Infinite/finite @ some point ....Medical Biology may tagged it another name ooo, but the above is my own attempt as a Theist !!!


That is why some says Human System is divided into 3 Body=Physical , Soul=Shapeless Algorithm=Software and Spirit=Interface between/within bodies/Souls !!! !!!


Spirituality systems could be present in Physical and/or Abstract forms and U don't have to be religious for spirituality to susbsist in you, it is Human-Factor ..... Though Religion established the concept of spirituality better since it is an area pure Scientists would never go !!!


If U don't prepare your mind/soul, concept of Spirituality can lead to Kolomental ooo because, it is a Journey beyond World ......as such, it involves a lot and a very lot !!!
Thanks for your input....it like we are on same page.

But erm, it like I will like to get something clearer. You stated that human are made of 3 component.

- The physical/biological body;

- Soul.....?

- Spirit.....?

I dont know if we are on same page here. But soul to me literally mean 'mind'. I used mind to separate it from entire human living entirely out/in of body as depicted in religion. Soul according to religion are got punised for sin bla bla bla. Do Soul in your context mean mind which in immaterial product of material brain or it something separate entirely?

Secondly.....spirit to me mean 'breathe' or 'life force'. Not really as vague definition religion give to it. Can you buttress more on the term spirit. I want to get clearer picture of where you driving at.

Kolomental......lol I remember my good god fela kuti.

It post is not about yoruba spirituality....Amanfrommars turn it toward yoruba spirituality. He asked questions and he is answered.

Infomizer: I think atheism denotes the absence of belief in a god. Abi? If, going by your definitons of spirituality, it does not require the belief in a god, then one can easily illify that they are compatible. However, I would have had more respect for the post if you had cited a recognized dictionary coz I sense sentiments in the provided definitions.
use any dictionary that suit you. And know that most words are corrupted. Example is what God is in yoruba is different to how most dictionary put it.

aManFromMars: Men do transcend labels. Labels are just to give a sense of uniformity. They rarely achieve that purpose, no two men were born to think alike.


That being said, quick test.

@Folykaze: do you believe in a creator/god? Why is Ifa so important to you?
You call it magic because you see it as such. If you understand the techniques and principle involve, it becomes act and skillful practise.

What is Egbogi if not herb? Is that magic?

Isegun....healing through medicine. Is that magic?

Witchcraft to me is different to your thinking. Witch is not flying human.....Gods are energy while the process of relating with them is witchcrafting. Witchcraft is the link between Gods and physical world. It more like internet when you type and store or send a document in or from your computer, poweredul cameras of engines such as Google, Yahoo, Hotmail pick up the document to the minutest details. Store the document in giant memory banks, send what offer to be sent to be accessed from any computer in the world by the identified beneficiary; analyze, juggle and arrange the information under a mirage of themes such as name of author, subject matters, language and so on, to make document easily accessible and functional to a verity of users around the world at the press of the button. In the same way, everything we say or do in life is recorded in a giant spiritual memory bank and can then be accessed with the help of combination of natural elements such as leaves, oils, fresh blood, coupled with spoken sound energy. This combination form some configuration in the spiral world. To enter the computer internet, we first switch on electricity main, then the computer, then the communication gadget to engage some special engines such as Yahoo or Google. This special engines are Gods...sango, Ogun and others. Surfing on the computer internet to check out websites, send e-nails is the equivalence of praying, meditating, enquiring. What we got from our cyber space will be decode and apply to our world. Witchcraft is the spiritual internet link and information and action processing catalyst of human interaction with Gods. To engage Gods, you need witchcrafting....this is kept secret because some people could misuse it. I dont like calling Aje 'witch' in english. We both agree that english dont have vocabulary for most terms in other languages.....aje to me is more like guru. So I dont see magic here.

Oso, bad charm and others are not magic. If you dont know something or how I get to do it doesn't make it magic. You seek for the knowledge and it become normal thing.... The military use different kind of arms. Some baton contain electrical energy, some chemicals, and configurations of things which can be use against or for protecting person. It evil to you but good to them. Nothing like magic here.

@Folykaze: do you believe in a creator/god? Why is Ifa so important to you?
Nothing like creator in yoruba spirituality. God in Yoruba is different from the western depicted one. I believe everything is God....etymology of Eledumare indicates that it is the infinity consciousness.

My journey to Ifa is a long story. I have been used to investigating things out for myself right from been a boy. It not important to me though. I just love it as a yoruba son. I took interest in it when my AA friend i meant in Osun blast me for not knowing anything about my culture and history. It part of knowledge to me.

Discarding Christian and Islamic beliefs doesn't make one an atheist... undecided

What are the priests in Ifa for? The sacrifices and initiations na get-together abi?
Now you cant show me the Odu huh?

I wonder why you are making claim on things you lack knowledge of. I dont have time typing this morning.

lol... You indeed alien from mars. I wonder how you want to explain things you know nothing about.

Ifa is not Egungun.

Egungun is dead living ancestor.

Yoruba people believe everything in nature have consciousness.

They relate with ancestors spiritually isn't same thing as worshipping them.

In new world science, einstein theory of relativity handle the issue. This is the reason I said if your science knowledge is put into tradition, senses will come out.

Show me Odu Ifa that state you should worship.

aManFromMars: 1. The quoted is why most atheists here have issues accepting you are an atheist. Your statement here mirrors Obadiah's views on Christianity.

2. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence neither is it evidence for anything whatsoever. Just fill in the gaps.
1. I observed that most atheist on this forum look at things mostly from western view. This is us not them. Ifa means body of knowledge..... It not about worshipping or festive. Look beyond what you see.

2. Im not talking about juju with you. Im to be skeptical about it. Until mazaje proof it wrong, you can continue disbelieving in it. If proven right, you can lodge in your scientific knowledge on it
Christianity EtcRe: 'Atheism And Spirituality' Can The Two Coexist? by FOLYKAZE(op): 7:36am On Sep 30, 2013
Uyi Iredia: Your points defining spirituality are on point. What is funny is how you are unwilling to apply skepticism to those beliefs in Ifa. Of course, your advocation that gun-protection charm worked goes to show that an atheist can actually have irrational beliefs. But maybe you should PM me your personal details. I since had it in mind to put this belief to the test, I busted the last chance I had with my gateman who failed to bring his protection charm for testing as promised.
Buddha, tao and ifa are same thing to me. Ifa isn't about religion though I agree that religion has took over it. What people mostly see about it is that it is juju and sacrifice whatever. Words in Ifa are symbolic so those who are wrong about it got the wrong perspection.

Lol...absent of evidence isn't evidence of absence...you know? Concerning bullet proof charm.... I told you I have seen it happening but dont know how or whats behind it. If this charm produces some energy/force, it is possible to deflect or stop bullet. It is also possible to reduce it flying speed. I have made lot of research concerning that from science angle and I will be happy to share it with you.

aManFromMars: Does spirituality involve having 'faith(belief in things not seen)'?

Would you define the feeling one gets from smoking cannabis as a sort of spiritual experience?
Spirituality is simply connectedness to something you can perceive with your five senses and happens through your mind. Nothing like faith here.

Weed give some people inspiration. I have a friend who smile at one wrap no matter how bored a discussion is.
Christianity Etc'Atheism And Spirituality' Can The Two Coexist? by FOLYKAZE(op): 7:11am On Sep 30, 2013
The problem with answering whether atheists are spiritual or not is that the term "spiritual" is so vague and ill-defined most of the time. Usually when people use it they mean something similar to, but nevertheless very distinct from, religion.

Though I am an atheist, I have been told by several religious believers that I am very spiritual—some even went so far as to state more spiritual than many religious believers they know.
I get taken to task by atheists who balk at my 'spirituality.’ I strongly regard the monopolizing of spirituality by theist especially christians to be a woeful situation. So what does this mean when it comes to whether atheists can be spiritual or not?

For some people, it involves a variety of very personal things like self-realization, philosophical searching, etc. For many others, it is something like a very deep and strong emotional reaction to "wonders" of life — for example, gazing out at the universe on a clear night, smell of the air, taste of wine, sound of good music, the beauty of the countryside, and the feel of a warm breeze.

Spirituality can be define as:

• The idea of a process or journey of self-discovery and of learning not only who you are, but who you want to be.

• The challenge of reaching beyond your current limits. This can include keeping an open mind, questioning current beliefs, or trying to better understand others' beliefs.

• A connectedness to yourself and to others. Spirituality is personal, but it is also rooted in being connected with others and with the world around you. This connection can facilitate you finding "your place in the world."

• Meaning, purpose, and direction. Spirituality, while it doesn't necessarily solve or reach conclusions, often embraces the concept of searching and moving forward in the direction of meaning, purpose, and direction for your life.
source

All of these and similar senses of "spirituality" are entirely compatible with atheism. There is nothing about atheism which prevents a person from have such experiences or quests. Indeed, for many atheists their atheism is a direct result of such philosophical searching and religious questioning — thus, one might argue that their atheism is an integral component of their "spirituality" and their ongoing search for meaning in life.


What is spirituality to you? Is it possible for you as an atheist to have a rich spiritual life?

So,if the Quran was plagiarised from the bible(nasuoubillah) why did the Quran avoided all those errors and contradictions in the bible? Moreover,I am not trolling here with anything.....Peace
