I definitely know people who have traded one incomprehensible belief for another. It feels as though watching a mouse in a maze that almost makes it past all the traps to the end to only turn itself around and go back the way it came.

To be fair, though, when the brain has been repeatedly conditioned to believe nonsense, it seeks nonsense to feel comfort. It is a difficult labor to bring new thought patterns into being. To fall back into routine thinking makes a person merely human. And funnily enough, it's those with higher intelligence that often have the mental agility to perform the gymnastics necessary to juggle their cognitive dissidence.

If spirituality is an inherent aspect of human life then one would expect that such experiences are of common human experience. Just because they are common does not mean deeply reverent appreciation of something isn't touching a spiritual aspect. I think we all have a deeply ingrained character that we've lived with all our lives, watched develop, which can be called our spirit and which can be touched by soft echoes and beauty. This is all that's meant by the word spirituality.

@rainmanjr that is your opinion, not fact based, you can call any bs you want spiritual, does not make it so, it will still be bullshit.

@Mofo1953 What is an inherent part of the human experience is not my opinion. We are able to discern it from scientific studies. Thanks for playing, though.

@rainmanjr present the scientific evidence that made you "discern" the bullshit from bullcrap.

@rainmanjr Though I’m okay with what you said being your opinion, I too hope you will identify those scientific studies,

Thanks! My friend introduced me to the site today, and I'm happy to be here!

@LifeIsEnough
Look forward to more of your post.
