"Now to most people this may sound like I'm a miserable twat who is depressing to be around but it actually makes me feel the opposite." Not really. I'd say this bit: "There is no god, nothing happens for a reason, nobody is in charge of our destiny but ourselves" is hugely optimistic. | |||

"I think it depends on how you perceive being spiritual. For me, spiritual is what makes me me and you you. For me it's a combination of our individual life experiences, beliefs, fears, expectations, hopes and how we use them. In my opinion you don't need a smelly candle or sage to be spiritual. Simply noticing someone is less than OK and doing or saying or listening to them is a spiritual act. This is just my opinion though. " I agree about the sage and candles. If it helps you that's great but you don't *need* it | |||

" Yes that too but what I really mean is that our mind is way more powerful than we understand or give it credit for and a lot of what our spirituality is is centred there rather in an external "force" or "being". I know this isn't about God but I always think the biblical quote about God creating man in his own image (apart from being incredibly arrogant on behalf of the author) is the wrong way round and man created god in his own image | |||

Mr" Well conscience is definitely a thing for a start. The thing I'm most interested in about it is a bit off topic though in that I wonder if technology will eventually develop conscience or even permit the preservation of a human's. Then there's stuff about the potential for collective conscience, arguably something the internet is facilitating etc. etc. To bring that back on topic my scifi question would be whether future collective thinking/conscience might enable a level of intelligence that allows us to understand things beyond our capability as individuals. This assumes the zombies don't get us first. | |||

" I feel there is a connection between all things, a big energy that is constantly re despersed. I like feeling there is something I don't quite understand and I'm happy not to, just to be" I like to think about it all and try to figure it out. The bits I’m not sure about, I think about it all and find I’m sad. But the bits I am sure of, what I believe and feel make me more than happy to make my life feel worthwhile. | |||

"This is a deep question for this site but i like it. I would class myself to be a 9, every person has a soul, a inner consciousness that gives you a want for more understanding off the world, people and everything on it, what happens to the soul after the body dies... thats a whole different question, do we have a spirit, definitely yes, i look at it like this.. i use to have a monkey hand puppet that i would entertain my son with, the memories to this day are with him, all the jokes, the need for him to eat his veg that was monkeys job, his friend was there for him. The reality was it was my hand up a monkeys ass all the jokes and the fun was really me, obviously he knows that now the point of the story is, it does not matter if you believe in any one thing, if it make you happy, it makes you a better person in life. Wow that my deepness allowance used up." I was ‘feeling’ alsorts when I first posted this thread ( similar to how I feel now) I’m glad it grabbed some peoples attention. I like involved answers like your own. Thanks for sharing your thought to this. | |||
