- How do you define “spirituality”?
I think spirituality is something that is invisible and untouchable. Anyone in the world has their own spirituality. I would define spirituality as something like consciousness of one’s own. By going deeply, spirituality is more like the controller of one’s own consciousness. For example, people can move their body with their consciousness. Their consciousness signals one’s brain, and one’s brain signals one’s nerves and muscles to move. Like that, spirituality signals one’s consciousness to think in their own way. Basically, spirituality is the top manager of one’s own.
2. Does spirituality differ from religion?
I think there are differences between spirituality and religion. Although spirituality was originated from religion, I think anyone including who does and does not have any belief in any religion can have spirituality. Religion is basically, I think, learned belief. People go to church to learn about the religion; however, spirituality is something that is inside of you. Spirituality is not the one that we have to learn but it is there already in one’s mind.
- How do you define “creativity”?
I think creativity is something that comes up when we think out of box. Creativity is something that nobody ever have thought of. It can be applied to anything such as verbal sentence like joke to real products such as escalators or other creative products that people have made. Humans and growing animals with learning things from their circumstances. From these environment, sometimes humans constrain themselves into well-ordered formality. This well-ordered formality prevent people from thinking creatively. Thus, creativity, I think, comes to real life when human come out of the well-ordered formality.
- What is the source of creativity?
Every person has their own routine of one’s daily life. Once they break their routine of their daily life and when they step out of their well-ordered formality, the creativity comes out. So I think the source of creativity is the movement that they come out of their well-ordered formality. Besides the movement, creativity should include originality as well. Although someone comes out with a great idea, it would not be considered as creative if someone else already made or came out before.
I agree with the point you made about religion being a learned belief while spirituality is something you learn to be true. While religion and spirituality do have many similarities I feel that this is the one major thing that sets the two apart. Religion guides you in a certain direction for you live, and deems what behaviors frown are upon and what behaviors are okay. By setting the standard for how one should live their live people are more susceptible to behave by the manner set by the religion. Spirituality gives people more freedom to express themselves and find ways which fit into their own beliefs. The definition you used for spirituality I felt was spot on, “I would define spirituality as something like consciousness of one’s own.” I agree with the statement to the fullest. Each and every person has their own definition of what spirituality means to them.
