I guess it was mostly about habit from hearing lots of people often used it etc.<br /><br />Stuff like saying something is very spiritual type thinking,which wasnt meant as having anything to do with it being supernatural thinking,but was more discribing it was deep and contemplative type thought.Gandolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624178234332819107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001916466643391714.post-11546181532976458002009-11-20T07:42:50.693+00:002009-11-20T07:42:50.693+00:00Hi Gandolf,

Where does it reside? What are the properties of a spiritual that can be emulated to make one 'spiritual'? <br />What is the difference between someone that is not spiritual and someone that is?<br /><br />is a buddhist spiritual compared to a christian?<br /><br />are buddhist and christian spirituality the same thing? are they compatible? <br /><br />Do I "have" a spirit, or am "I" a sprit? Does my spirit participate in running my body? <br /><br />If I can understand something, then I can make predictions about it. Can predictions be made with regard to spirituality that distinguish it from psychology or psychiatry? <br /><br />unless a word has scope and definition, it is effectively meaningless.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17353286859864448748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001916466643391714.post-17495910556985864532009-11-19T19:50:42.041+00:002009-11-19T19:50:42.041+00:00Gandolfs been getting hit with the big stick,on an...Gandolfs been getting hit with the big stick,on another blog for his use of the word "spiritual" Harlan... :)<br /><br />Its been said i must refrain from use of such a words now im not a believer, and learn to use other words.Like contemplative.<br /><br />I think maybe im actually a bit of a shocker, when it comes to this equivocation.Gandolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624178234332819107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2001916466643391714.post-49148164743089201322009-11-19T15:09:45.241+00:002009-11-19T15:09:45.241+00:00Hi Richd,

Have your tried head...<i> it really gets my dander up!</i><br /><br />Have your tried head and shoulders?<br /><br />This tends to create a hugh problem that goes back to that DC comment about everone misunderstanding the bible differently. Even though Christianity wants to tell you that they are on the same page, there are significant differences that boil down to interpretation of the bible. And that's just Christianity. And with eternal salvation on the line, we ought to be more careful right?<br />I try to get on here more but you give so much homework that it takes me 40 days and 40 nights just to keep on top of things.

I would have tried harder but I'm kind of busy.<br /><br />Don't be a stranger.

I'll have to remember to not use things like "in my minds eye", "I feel it in my bones," or a personal favorite, "with every fiber of my being."<br />I actually have to agree that this makes infomation harder to understand. Was 40 days and 40 nights literal? Or was it a common term that ment a long period of time? That's just a quick one "off the top of my head." ;)Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05816549810869986623noreply@blogger.com
