Many people seem to have a different definition of what spirituality means to them. Some say it is the relationship with a god, others the meaning one gives to their lives, while others say it's merely a mystical mumbo jumbo for people that have nothing more important to do with their lives.
However, lately, I've been pondering about what exactly it means to be spiritual, and I've come to a semi-conclusion that everyone deals with spirituality in some way or another. In my opinion, if you're a sentient being with a consciousness and free will then you're everyday dealing with the subjective experience is getting in touch with a non-physical source that guides your intent to a higher state of awareness. Some people believe only in the objective, and give no importance to the subjective because if it can't be measured and placed under a microscope it isn't really important and is irrelevant to them.
But then, one must ask, why are people so interested in anything, even in the so-called objective experience if it isn't to satisfy your subjective experience as well?
What are your thoughts on this, and what is your personal definition of spirituality?
