I think there is a big difference between someone that says they are religious and someone who is truly spiritual. A religious person is not necessarily a person that is kind and tolerant of others beliefs or sexual preferences. A religious person is not necessarily someone that is open-minded. On the other hand, a spiritual person is someone that is conscious of others and is aware that there are lessons to be learned in everyone we meet or every experience we've ever had. A spiritual person knows that we are here on this planet to elevate our souls. Therefore, we must have mercy on those who are less fortunate than we are, and be kind where appropriate. Contrary to popular belief, being kind or mindful of others does not make us doormats! Kindness is reciprocal! Maybe not from the person that is in front of you but someone else will return the favor. Kindness starts with love fof yourself. Then and only then can you share that love with others!
Being spiritual means to be in a state of gratitude most of the time. It's okay not to be perfect because only God is... We should honor our parents that created us, but only if they were honorable too! We owe nothing to lousy or absentee parents and we shouldn't feel guilty about it either because there are so many other people in this world that deserve and appreciate our love! A spiritual person is someone who is loyal or true to himself. A spiritual person understands that there is no need to hoard because the more you give away the more the universe will give back. Volunteering is important too if you have the time!
A spiritual person understands that everyone who resides on this planet is on a different spiritual level and that there is no need to try and change someone because try as you might, most of the time it's useless. It's like trying to explain calculus to a 6 year old! People will "wake up" when they're ready! A spiritual person doesn't blame anyone for anything because they know that we always have a choice about how we react to experiences we feel are negative. Some spiritual people do not even believe that there are positive or negative experiences, just experiences that we should share with others. Help someone out along the way...
Spiritual people are aware that our minds create our experiences. They are powerful tools! Many times the way we view what someone said or didn't say to us is viewed in a totally different way by the other person. Other people and their words are just thoughts in our heads. People that are truly spiritual, detach themselves from the outcomes they seek. Because they know, that if they feel anxious, nervous, or fearful, they are projecting negative energy into the universe. And the universe will reply with, "Oh, so you're sending fearful, negative energy to me??? Well, here you go... Back to you, buddy!! Negative experiences will keep showing up in your life again & again.
Spiritual people or "masters" of spirituality "know that there is nothing to seek and nothing to find. You are already enlightened, and all the words in the the world will not give you what you already have. The wise seeker, therefore, is concerned with one thing only: to become aware of what already is, of the TRUE SELF within!!!"
