spirituality
My beliefs centre mostly around taoism and some buddhism with a portion of quantum physics thrown in. That said I find most or all of quantum physics principles come back to basic principles of tao.
Aligned with taoism, I’m naturally an ontological thinker, and philosophically I’m most aligned with the ancient stoics. I have my own adaptation that progresses beyond the existentialist and phenomenologist movements of the early 20th century, both of which built on stoicism.
I won’t weigh in on whether spirituality and religion are the same, different or whether one requires the other. Whatever they are to you they are; the same as your own religious or spiritual beliefs.
For the sake of transparency and the possibility to avoid wasting anyone’s time or other resources, I get along better with people who have some level of spirituality or religion in their life, and who are accepting of others’ choices, rather than people who have none.
It’s not a judgement of those people or me applying meaning to them, it’s simply a case of experience and knowing what will be in flow.
