Can you be "spiritual" without a God?

Spirituality is the feeling that there is something more to life, something more to human existence, something more than a person simply being a mechanical structure living in a world filled with multitudes upon multitudes of innert forms. Spirituality is a feeling (a sensation) of connection. Of oneness.

But oneness with what… with who?

According to religious teachings, the ultimate purpose of human existence is the achievement of – oneness with “God” – within this life, if possible… if not, then in the next. The problem: – there is no “God” -. And the believer’s mind enters into a dream, into a dream-trance. From that moment she/he walk in a world replete with hidden temptations, unsatifactory pleasures, corruptible “flesh”…. basically, a world void of “God” oneness.

The world is renounced.

What is missed is an understanding of what nature is… of who we are… at depth. Our human form originates in a cosmic mind (intelligence). Our form expands its senses into a body (substance)… and into a soul (consciousness/spirit/essence).

Through an act of consciousness, our senses of the soul connect us with the – oneness/
essence – that exists in all forms, in all things… here and everywhere… within and without. This ever-present – spiritual – feeling gives us depth. Meaning. Purpose. (A higher purpose.)

We feel “Onensess”.

It is a grandiose feeling.
A feeling of accomplishment.
A feeling of purposefulness.
