What is Life? The Spiritual Perspective

Spirituality explores the essence and purpose of existence beyond the physical realm.

Spirituality approaches the definition of life through transcendence and interconnectedness.

Spiritual understandings of life include:

DIVINE ESSENCE

Life is seen as a manifestation of a divine essence, with each living being containing a spark of the sacred or a connection to a higher power.

INTERCONNECTEDNESS

Life is seen as a part of a larger interconnected web of existence, where all living beings are interconnected and share a collective consciousness or energy.

INNER GROWTH AND TRANSFORMATION

Life is viewed as an evolutionary journey of spiritual growth, self-realization, and transformation, where individuals seek to align themselves with higher truths or principles.

TRANSCENDENCE:

Life is a temporary state of being, and the ultimate purpose may involve transcending the physical realm and attaining spiritual enlightenment or union with a higher reality.

Spiritual perspectives on life can vary based on culture, belief, and individual interpretation. Through alternative lenses, we seek to understand and approach life in our own way.

We can say,

😇Spiritual perspective shows us the deeper dimensions of life.

😇Spiritual perspective reveals the hidden meaning of life.

😇Spiritual life is a life of oneness with one and all.

😇Spiritual life takes us deep within ourselves.

I will conclude with this quote by 19th century philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin:

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
