it doesn't have to be a religion because one person can be that way on their own....religion requires at least two people. a spiritual person believes in a power or something that dictates the course of life outside of themselves that can't be seen or heard, but can be felt in their heart.

I don't think that I can define spirituality. However, I don't believe that it is tied to religion. Spirituality must come from within. While I am still currently being raised as a christian, it is not something that I particularly believe in. However, I do consider myself spiritual (just without a specific religion, is all). I think that as long as you are a genuine, generous, and considerate person who always tries their best to be helpful, make others happy, and do the things that are morally right, any god/dess (if there are any) will forgive you for being lost or confused. Because really, how much more can you ask of a person? Do unto others as you would like others to do unto you.

Spirituality to me is that feeling you get on the inside. Feels like little goosebumps on the inside... I myself call them God Bumps...But when it gets bigger it's huge from head to toes...It's such an awesome complete feeling...It's individual, between each person and their higher power...God...

Not tied at all. Can you get more spiritual than this? I feel total elation to know that these spiritual emotions are available to me, if I only comprehend the meaning of existence.

"I know not if this earth on which I stand is the core of the universe or if it is but a speck of dust lost in eternity. I know not and I care not. For I know what happiness is possible to me on earth.

"I am. I think. I will.
My hands . . . My spirit . . . My sky . . . My forest . . . This earth of mine. . . .
What must I say besides? These are the words. This is the answer.
I stand here on the summit of the mountain. I lift my head and I spread my arms. This, my body and spirit, this is the end of the quest.
It is my eyes which see, and the sight of my eyes grants beauty to the earth. It is my ears which hear, and the hearing of my ears gives its song to the world."
