Spiritual

                                                  What does being spiritual mean ?




                                        It depends on one's individual and cultural beliefs
                                        but in the context of holistic and new age spirituality
                                        ; this is from my own personal experience , I have
                                        seen people claiming to be spiritual and talk about
                                       the '' Universe '' and it has some degree of control
                                       over our lives .  I do believe that energy is all around
                                       us and out there in the Universe .  Also I believe in
                                       different planes of reality but there are cultural
                                       differences when it comes to faith , religion and
                                       spirituality .  Most what we call new age beliefs are
                                      ancient wisdom borrowed from other cultures ; white
                                      new age followers have borrowed and appropriated
                                      these beliefs .  Holistic followers too .  Another point is
                                      unfortunate victim blaming in the context of using one's
                                      new age tropes and beliefs to blame people for their own
                                      struggles because they ''attract '' them by way of their own
                                     negative mindsets .   Or how we are all one human '' tribe''
                                     which erases culture and race .   This again is my own
                                    experience and interpretation .  I am spiritual in the sense
                                    that my faith is not focused solely on my chosen religion
                                    of Catholicism .  Finally we must be mindful of real world
                                   struggles and that not everyone thinks the same ; we must
                                   recognize that suffering cannot disappear by adjusting one's
                                   thoughts .  It is important to be positive but it is also important
                                  to be aware that not everyone in the world  has that luxury.
