I don’t belong to any one group, that would make me onesided . I’m a little agnostic, very tiny tiny bit religious, a pinch of hippy. toaism has the best connection about nature. Being Spiritual is my way of working everlasting peace, you have your way. Study Natural Law, communication, philosophy, and science. What ever Unites the Conscious Mind with the Soul, By means of enlightenment through physical and mentally, raw food diet, natural living, good works, with many ways of thinking and guided by the Inner Voice. We start honoring our fellow beings and accept that everyone and everything is One
Scientists continue to consider science and spirituality to be complementary, not contradictory. Neuroscientists keep learning more about how the brain functions during reported spiritual experiences.
Physical and biological scientists avoid supernatural explanations to describe reality or anicent spitituality, I just don’t understand it myself. Although I see atheist here spend a lot of time talking about Religion, I’m here for a short time not a long time.
Spirituality is a development of inner peace or the foundations of happiness, then spiritual practice of some kind is essential for personal well being. My view is that spirit is a prime element of reality and very much enjoy exploring the greatest unknowns.
You are a bit late to the spiritual party dear.
Atheists?? Look at my sig...Hypatia was THE most famous of her day.
All the other crap I have tried dear...like I said, it does bugger all. But you keep having your artistic delusions of grandeur by all means. Your arrogant, petty, sanctimonious proselytising is wearing very thin.

Castle, google Cavarka or Thales. People rejected the notion of the supernatural and god(s) (redundant I know, but some people separate these two) before Darwin was a twinkle in his parents eyes. In fact, atheism predates christianity and islam. It most definitely predates our current crop of "new age" bullshit. Those are just the first two on record, but you best believe that some uncle OG way back in the paleolithic preferred to hunt his food rather than pray for it. Doubt isn't a recently evolved trait.
Amusingly, most of the classic arguments against the worlds current religions predate those religions themselves and were formulated to discredit a previous crop of religions. Evidentiary arguments are relatively new, and this is mostly due to our inability to actually sort this stuff prior to working out such a wonderful method of investigating the world around us. If it's enlightenment you're after, you have to do the work. You wont find it by inventing faeries (of any kind) to fill the air around you.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Too bad you don't know me, you don't if you sum me up as petty.
Like an arrogant bureaucrat blatantly violating the law, accept I fish with a license.

My road record and mastering what I love to do, speak for its self as far as enlightenment. As for those delightful fairies, why would I worship them, when you got beautiful women and then got sun, earth, air to create high energy with?
