What is the nature of spiritual reality? Spirituality is the nature of this experience on earth. It bugs me sometimes when people talk about life after death as the ultimate question in life. This to me is just not true. Spiritual reality is as real, well more real than the chair you're sitting in right now. I trust the physical reality of the existence of my soul over just about anything else in this life. Science tells us that matter is merely energy condensed into a slow vibration. Metaphysics implies that there are at least 11 dimensions. All cultures in the history of mankind acknowledge some kind of spiritual reality. Let us be enlightened by a quote from the French mystic Teilhard de Chardin:
“You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience. You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.”
-Teilhard de Chardin, (1881-1955)
"When you examine the lives of the most influential people who have ever walked among us, you discover one thread that winds through them all. They have been aligned first with their spiritual nature and only then with their physical selves.”
-Albert Einstein
What is always interesting to me is the correlation between science and spirit. Here with these two quotes we have a perfect example of this. Comparing these two ideas we come across a theme - that first comes the basic fact of the spiritual nature of our reality, and then second is the physicality of this existence.
