What really is spirituality?
>>

buying crystals and tarot cards from Amazon
claiming to be a Buddhist because it's Asiatic and exotic to white people
looking up the names of demons on wikipedia

A point where you mature from a simplistic and materialist understanding of the universe (pulleys/bumping atoms) and begin to observe greater natural law.

A lot of people who call themselves spiritual see some of these higher movements but lack the fundamental work or capacity to put it into concrete terms. Peoples most common conception of God is the Father; which is a 1:1 derived image and feeling from a childs bond, loyalty, faith, and received love and protection from a father. Its not wrong, but its not totally right either; the real thing is more nuanced.

I define spirituality in two ways, depending on context.
The simple one is spirit are eternal things, as opposed to the material which are temporary.
The deeper meaning is that spirituality is the deep sense of contentment and joy that comes from an unassailable understanding of who you are, where you are, and why you are.

To imitate the Son of God Jesus Christ to imitate his actions and follow his teachings

Anthropomorphism of overarching concepts, originally to encompass specific field of studies. While what these characters represented vary wildly between cultures, the knowledge they represented didn't. Ie want to learn agriculture, youd go to the priests of the god of farming, want a safe delivery for a child, go check the priests of the god of fertility, want to learn war, go to the priests of the god of war, etc. Basically just take any modern context where you learn stuff but instead of being about the concept itself you worship/try to understand a character who act as the greatest patron of this field of study. Make it easier to relate and apply the acquired knowledge, especially for plebs who have difficulty grasping abstract conceptualization.

Shit went fubar when the Abrahamic descendant started to peddle monotheism, which is just a power grab/attempt at centralizing spirituality to make mass manipulation easier and streamlined.

Many such cases.

Don’t scream at god. That’s spirituality.

Spirituality is the presumption of unknown mediation pertaining to consciousness and its relationship between forms/ideas and the physical.

Older word for psychology

Psychology focuses on the physical, but it did gain its introspective roots from Augustine of Hippo, using the Christian Trinity as a template for introspection.
