r/spirituality

Community Overview

About r/spirituality

Here, we discuss such things as personal transformation, the meaning of life, death, and moments of clarity. There is no single, widely-agreed definition of spirituality. Many people gravitate toward spirituality to seek religious-like understandings without the ideological constraints of institutional religion. This community, however, is open to everyone, religious and non-religious alike. Join us in finding our place in the universe. 🌌

    1. Does anyone else feel like their spiritual journey is incredibly lonely? How do you cope?
    2. If we are here for lessons wouldn't this mean the suffering never ends?
    3. I have isolated myself from a lot of people including family because they drain my energy

    1. The most spiritual person I know in Kathmandu Nepal runs a small tea stall and has never read a single book about spirituality
    2. The more I pay attention, the weirder people seem.
    3. Existence is meaningless bullshit and I wish I was dead

    1. Any recommended non-Christian books about the life and teachings of Jesus?
    2. An odd request perhaps, can anyone here recommend a book about coming to terms with becoming disabled but with perhaps a more spiritual outlook? I realise it may be a unique ask but I always find I gel better with spiritually themed self help books.
    3. I am interested in new age spirituality, please recommend some books to me
