Spirituality and atheism

[dscross]

The difference in my life from a perceptual standpoint when I allow myself (appropriately) to be angry or anxious or happy in the moment allows me to experience life on a whole other (non-ethereal) plane. The way I would describe it is life in color instead of black and white.

I would say that my relationships and my connectedness with others has been heightened with this knowledge, and I would liberally describe that knowledge and experience as a sort of spirituality. Knowledge that makes my life more real, more connected, more excitable. No Jesus required.

Well put. I think the articulation of this kind of personal experience greatly helps with the definition of spirituality that many people struggle with.
