It is not about religion, realms or things. It is about a person, Christ is the true spirituality. It is much better to have a living person than to have a system of beliefs (religion) or some realms. Things are boring, but relationship (which can only exist with a living person) is beautiful, it is everything.

Ok.

As for spirituality, if you discount "spirit realms" you can experience spirituality everyday in the simple things you do. For me my "spiritual" experiences come from listening to rousing music or watching my kids play. A sense of peace and profundity pervades these activities and I am inspired and receive joy. You can find your own "spiritual" inducing experiences and activities devoid of religious connotations, all it takes is a willingness to relax and self reflect.

It's a process..

No alignment with any religion.

The purpose of it is to be consciously aware of oneself, friends and family, environments.

Self meditation, self taught, self inspired

Spirituality and Religion are two different thing entirely..

One is man made while the other is not..
In Religion their God is waiting to roast anyone in eternal fire like suya if.they mess up and not follow set down rules while spirituality allows you to grow at your own pace and there is no threat of roasting in eternal fire...!!

I.think this suffice for now...

AND THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO CLAIM TO BE SPIRITUAL BUT NOT RELIGIOUS. THESE SPIRITUAL PEOPLE BELIEVE RELIGIOUS PEOPLE ARE GULLIBLE, AND THAT THE REST OF US REALLY SHOULD BE LIKE THEM BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT ALL.
THE ONE THING THAT IS FOR SURE IS THAT THESE SPIRITUAL FOLKS ARE JUST BEING SO BECAUSE A PART OF THEM STILL ACCEPT PARTS OF THE RELIGIOUS INDOCTRINATION THEY HAD AS LITTLE KIDS.
FOR THE REST OF US, WE'RE NOTHING SPECIAL, NOTHING SPIRITUAL. JUST BORN TO LIVE AND DIE LIKE WEEDS.

A God did not send himself.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave is Only begotten son.....
God sent His son. However, the Son has the same spirit as the father and also the same heart ...
This is the mystery of Jesus saying; "I and my Father are one."... It doesn't literally mean that the MOST HIGH was the one who was hanged on a cross.

Yes, you can be spiritual without being religious.

When you are spiritual, you are open-minded. When you are religious, you are close-minded.

Sometimes, people confuse being spiritual with having a personal relationship with God, but that is unnecessary.

You can be spiritual without having any sort of relationship with God.

For instance, I was religious at one point in my life. I was also a pastor. But with time, I began to see that religion (it is hard to find a religion that is not organized) makes one very close-minded. Religion makes you read the Bible or Quran or whatever Holy Book you use in a rather one-dimensional way.

Look at the Catholics. They are the most close-minded people on earth. Even with the overwhelming evidences in the Bible that shows God does not want idolatry, they still keep on bowing down to the graven images of Jesus and Mary.

Supposing a Catholic suddenly begins to see the cracks in the doctrines of his church, he is becoming more open-minded, and he has begun his journey into spirituality. When he eventually fully embraces spirituality, he becomes irreligious.

Mind you, spirituality should also not be confused with extrinsic religiosity, although it is impossible for someone who is very religious to be extrinsically religious.
