Plum on the cake / tip of the iceberg / summit of the mountain / abyss of ocean
editProfound religion of nationalists / secularism of globalists / sectarianism of localists when superfluous elements have fallen away may be considered as spirituality. Although as old as wisdom itself, it has gained popularity in the New Age culture. 122.178.181.239 (talk) 20:00, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
Chasidism belongs in the Jewish spirituality secction
editI'm very much NOT an expert on this, but the whole point of Chasidism was that the traditional form of Judaism at the time was, shall we say, devoid of spirituality. In response they started dancing and singing during their services. We now seem them as ultra-orthodox but they were crazy neo-pagan hippies in their day. Any conversation of Jewish spirituality that does not include the Baal Shem Tov is woefully incomplete. 108.26.207.203 (talk) 01:30, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Definition/etymology of spirituality
editThis section is wrong. The word, spirituality, does not derive from French. It comes from Latin. Nor does it pertain to the soul. The English “spirit” derives from the Latin “spiritus,” which means “breath.” Hence, “inspiration,” which means “in breath,” and “expire,” “breathe out.” The idea that the breath contains the energy of life is not unique to European traditions. In Jewish Scripture, God brings Adam to life by blowing into his nostrils. In India, pranayama is a program of exercising the breath to attain higher levels of awareness. Buddhists also meditate on the breath. In Polynesia, the honi is a way to exchange mana by means of breathing into each other’s noses. The belief that spirit and soul are synonyms is common but erroneous nonetheless. 50.34.56.10 (talk) 17:08, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
