It will take you toward the key concepts of soul and spirit with content-rich articles, unique personality tests, and a mindset focused on gaining greater awareness.Let’s begin.1. As a first step, we need to explore the differences between Religion and Spirituality.The differences between these two spheres are similar to those between BELIEVING and HAVING FAITH. The believer is one who, experiencing a sense of inner emptiness, tries to fill it by turning to the outside world, inevitably ending up settling for comforting and simplistic answers. In fact, religion, whatever it is, has only one purpose: to make us feel guilty while giving us false hopes, so that we obey without ever questioning authority. There is no evolutionary purpose in this, but only the need to control and direct the human flock where it is needed. In this sense, religion and politics are very similar; however, while the former appeals to the highest needs of human beings, the latter deals exclusively with practical and material matters. Both divide individuals into groups and categories (good and evil, conservative and progressive, etc.), ostensibly for their own good, but actually in order to better control them, also turning them against each other when they become too critical of authority itself. This concept was well described by the ancient Latins with the expression “Divide et Impera” (divide and rule).Now pause for a moment and think about how often this ploy is put into practice, still today, by institutions, be they religious, political or otherwise. Duality operates exactly in this way, very often without us even realizing it. Religion and politics thus pursue the same purposes, but with different words.Unlike religion, spirituality does not divide but unites; it does not produce duality but complementarity. Since the celestial dimension is completely independent of the earthly world and material things, it cannot be manipulated by human beings either. The only thing we can do is try to attune ourselves to the spiritual dimension and contemplate it. It exists regardless of us and what we create or destroy in our limited earthly reality.If the believer goes in search of easy and convenient external answers, finding them in religion, the one who has faith, on the contrary, searches within themselves. While the former is satisfied, the latter is insatiable and never ceases to inquire. To have faith is to perceive within oneself the immensity of the universe, or creation, of which we are a part, and to know that we are a soul and a spirit even before we are a body and a mind. Such awareness conveys a sense of inner peace that has nothing to do with the dogmas and ambiguous hopes advocated by religions. One who has faith is sufficient to themselves by perceiving themselves as part of the Whole, or, if you prefer, by finding God within themselves. The religious or believing person does not perceive this connection to the Whole because he or she is unable to tune in to the frequencies typical of...
