your What is spirituality for ME?
your (oops!)
your sense or awareness
your WAY
your I feel
your apparently independent entity
your eventually dissolves independence of entities into ONE WHOLE.
Now lets connect all that and you will get: What is spirituality for ME?
(oops!) sense or awareness?, WAY? I feel apparently independent entity. Eventually dissolves independence of entities into ONE WHOLE .
is it make sense? :)
it is, to me for sure, this is exactly what I think
we are here living for teach our soul's to be better to become like the Creator, thereby becoming one with Him.
That's also the way the Kabbala see the meaning of the creation.
Here are some Kabbalistics paragraphs from the Kaballa that present this idea:
"The Kabbalists teach that although we are all in different bodies, we are all in essence one completely connected soul, spiritual essence. This lesson has many ramifications one is that as long as any human is lacking we are lacking as well. We can be personally spiritually developed but as long as there are others who are not then we are lacking as well.
Some spiritual people mistakenly think that assisting others both physically and spiritually is an act of altruism, sharing of yourself to a person outside yourself. With the above understanding we now know that this is not true. When I am assisting another person I am in essence assisting another aspect of myself, my essence. "

"Based on this we can understand an enigmatic statement of the Zohar. By the tenth trial of the Binding of Yitzchak the Angel calls to Avraham and says “Avraham, Avraham” repeating his name twice. The Zohar explains that his name was repeated twice to signify “Avraham above and Avraham below”, these words alone seem cryptic. But, with the above explanation we can understand the Zohar. For after completing the tenth trial Avraham had completed manifesting his potential powers, it was at this point Avraham below completely mirrored Avraham above, which was established at the time of creation."
"This is a very important lesson. We should learn from here that every person has a perfected spiritual image with tremendous powers from the time of creation. It is our spiritual task through our spiritual work to manifest these great powers and make them our own. We should also remember that whenever we come across a difficult situation, it is not simply something we need to traverse, but rather a very important spiritual opportunity to elevate and come one step closer to manifesting our tremendous spiritual potential, and to truly mirror our true supernal spiritual image."

"Love Your Fellow as Your Self
This week’s reading has in it what can arguably be considered the most important verse in the Torah. This verse is often mistranslated and misunderstood. The verse reads, “You should love your fellow as yourself.” To understand the importance of this verse, we can look to what the sages have said about this verse.
Rabbi Akiva wrote that this lesson is the general rule of the entire Torah. Rabbi Ashlag, in Gift of the Bible, explains Rabbi Akiva’s statement to mean that the individual teachings of the Torah are only particulars to enable us to achieve the one goal of the Torah, which is Love your fellow as yourself. This is an amazing statement. We know that the Torah is our guide to spiritual work. Unfortunately, sometimes people are under the impression that the Torah is a book of Laws that the Creator wants us to follow—that is to say, a checklist. This misunderstanding leads people to believe that if we want to live our lives according to the Torah, we need to blindly and religiously just make sure we check off as many items as we can on the checklist. Unfortunately, this then leads people to think that this is the essence of religion: to perform a certain set actions by rote. As the Kabbalists teach us, the truth is almost the exact opposite. The purpose of the Torah is to transform us. Our purpose in life is to become like the Creator, thereby becoming one with Him. This is based in the spiritual law that when two spiritual beings are exactly alike, they become one. Once we become one with the Creator, we are one with endless joy and happiness, one with fulfillment, for this is the essence of the Creator.
I respect any way of spirituality. each one can take is own way in spirituality as long as he doesn't harm nobody else!"

As I see it we have very close way to see spirituality
One of the most important understandings for spiritual growth and direction is our global responsibility.
