When we talk about spirituality, we usually mean that the world is not limited to what can be perceived with the help of the body. That the world is something more, and beyond the limits of our perception this more exists by itself, in itself, forming an independent dimension of the world - the spiritual. In this sense, everything that goes beyond the boundaries of our body, its sensations and emotions, belongs to this dimension.
The spirituality of a person has one foot in us, the other - "somewhere there." We come into contact in one way or another with the world spiritually, we exchange something with it at this level. Human spirituality presupposes a dialogue: we open up to something greater in this world and allow it to somehow affect us.
The form of such a dialogue is spiritual practice. At the same time, this can include conventional religious practices, prayers, meditation, TARO, Kabbalah, alchemy, or even self-made, intuitively created practices. The perception of art and one's own creativity will also be a spiritual practice if through them a person opens up and gains access to the spiritual dimension.
We do not practice dialogue with the spiritual all the time: we all have everyday things to do, everyday routine, work, weekly schedule, responsibility for other people and other joys of the average person. The more valuable moments become for us that we can devote to something greater, beyond these limits.
Why is it that so many people say that spiritual practices “don't work”? To do this, it is important to turn to what is meant by "work": it is the result. If something works, it has a definite result that can be seen and touched. Or at least evaluate if it is intangible. And then the question arises, what result do people expect when they turn to spiritual practices? Solving the problem, achieving the goal, so that “life becomes like everyone else's” …
These people cannot change something in their life that brings them discomfort or pain. And then the practitioners become another way they try to do it. I think everyone knows people like this trying to find a solution in going to church, yoga, or "personal growth" training. As a rule, they either experience that they are very close to a solution, and they are close at hand, or they experience great disappointment both in themselves and in practice. In extreme forms, they will be fanatical evangelicals and cynical skeptics.
Why this happens becomes clear if we return to the fact that human spirituality is dialogical. The person solving the problem is closed on the problem and on himself. He is looking for a tool to solve the problem. This is neither bad nor good: this is his natural state. He is not open to anything more, he deals with his pain, loneliness, fear or something else. Something that does not go beyond the human at all. And in these situations, spiritual practices can only do one thing: help to accept what cannot be changed, and find the strength to withstand it. In fact - to be.
In extreme situations, this is a really good way to stay unbroken, not to lose yourself, relying on the very best. If the situation is not extreme, it is important to use more appropriate methods to solve problems. Because accepting or enduring is not the only thing we can do in this world.
