Spirituality
"History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it."
- Robert Heinlein.
The word spirituality refers to your collection of beliefs about reality, including your understanding of how reality works, as well as your personal role in the universe. Whether you participate in a popular religion or take an independent path, whether you believe in divine creation or adhere to strict physical objectivity, your beliefs about reality define the overall context of your life. In this sense, all of us are spiritual beings because we all have certain beliefs about reality. Even to believe nothing can still be considered part of a spiritual belief system.
Your spiritual growth is an integral part of the process of human development. The principles of truth, love, and power don't dictate a specific spiritual philosophy, so there's plenty of freedom to explore a variety of beliefs. However, the principles do establish that the highest ideal for your spiritual philosophy is intelligence. If your beliefs don't fulfill the requirements of intelligence at the very least, they can't be considered spiritually sound because they'd be in violation of universal principles. If a spiritual philosophy succumbs to falsehood, if it disconnects you from life, or if it weakens you, it runs afoul of the principles and will only lead you astray.
As you use the power of conscious choice to bring your life into greater alignment with truth, love, and power, the long-term result is spiritual wisdom and peace. Your life reaches a new level of clarity where all the parts begin working harmoniously together.
Our collective spiritual development is rooted in our common interest in truth, love, and power. These are our guides through all the challenges of human life. If it were somehow possible for everyone on earth to come together and agree on a single spiritual philosophy, it would be one that incorporates the universal principle of truth, love, and power. These are the ideals that guide us not only as human beings, but also as spiritual beings.
