When is spirituality okay?

Greetings!  It has been ages since I've been here and I've grown a lot.  (Namely, I've given up religion but I'm still a spiritual person.  I despise "religion" nowadays.)

 

Notice that I didn't say "when is theism, religion, etc."  Spirituality is a little different and feel free to correct me with a different word if I'm not being accurate.

So my question really is, when it it 100% okay to be spiritual?  And I mean this in the sense that a spiritual person adheres to no particular doctrine (perhaps a few choice ones that are "loving teachings", for instance) and also they think for themselves.  If anything a good word is "hopeful" for things like a loving afterlife, ultimate justice, etc.

 

I can understand the need for many of you to change the thinking of people who are irrational in their thoughts so they might better themselves.  But how is just hoping or even believing wrong?

 

I posed this question because I get the sense that many of you are so stanch in your beliefs that you would be unaccepting of something, because you (like everyone else in the world, it's proven) are not unbiased.

 

 

Sorry in advance that I'm not as much of a heavyweight contender as some of you debaters are btw.  Smiling

 

It is said the great ones catch teardrops in their hands.

Really, you didn't power up enough before that one.  You need to be at least Super Saiyan 3 to have an effect on these enemies.

We're been over this before... and you've never given me a straight answer...

So I tell you clearly, NOT in this dense-physical world.
As far as I know, there is a plenty of fun with an etheric equivalent of fireballs, which is only visible or tangible to clairvoyant people. They're called psi-balls (etheric-physical world) and they don't burn anything, clairvoyants play with them like with balloons.
However, if you learn astral travelling or at least lucid dreaming, you can have as many of fireballs as you want. This is the characteristic nature of astral realm, it forms itself locally, exactly according to people's desires. The quality of fireballs in the astral (dream) world depends on the quality of your imagination.

Berserk doesn't hold a candle to TTGL.

 

Berserk got really strange about 2/3rds of the way into it too. o.O

 

 

I would highly recommend you give TTGL a viewing, and Soul Eater as well.

 

Here, this will get you started.

...Did someone say they had

...Did someone say they had a spirit problem? Well, good news:

This week I'm having a special on proton charging! Smiling

 

Oh, and I'm afraid Clock Cat is right, Doomy. TTGL is pretty much boss.

Let the future generations cleanse it of all evil, oppression and violence, and enjoy it to the full."
