For the majority of my life, I was opposed to religion and when I would hear the term &#8220;spirituality&#8221;, I&#8217;d just associate it with religion, and therefore saw no interest in pursuing. I&#8217;ve now come to realize the two terms are very different. Spirituality refers to a wanting to connect to something higher than oneself, which is like religion, but spirituality is a much broader concept. Religion seeks something higher than oneself but there&#8217;s rules to religion. You&#8217;re forced to adopt certain beliefs and relay your thoughts and experiences towards the beliefs of that religion. In spirituality, there are no rules. You must find all the answers yourself. In this video, I compare and contrast spirituality and religion on a deeper level.<\/p>\n<p>Donations: https:\/\/www.paypal.me\/wyguy2000<\/p>\n<p>Patreon: https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/the_curious_minds?fan_landing=true<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/instagram.com\/wyeth.sterling?igshid=Mzc1MmZhNjY=<br \/>\nBuy a drug test kit: https:\/\/testkitplus.com\/?ap_id=TheCuriousMinds<\/p>\n<p>About me <\/p>\n<p>Hello everyone, my name is Wyeth and I originally created this channel to share some insights about life and the universe that I had on psychedelics, and how they can be used to change one\u2019s life for the better. Now, this has evolved into me seeking to dedicate my life to understanding the truth about the nature of reality, the self, and consciousness at the deepest level. Because these subjects deal with the fundamental nature of who we are, I believe knowledge from these fields can be used to help one live a more wholesome and authentic life in all aspects. <\/p>\n<p>I pride myself in taking an anti-dogma approach in my inquiry, therefore I will examine all topics of interest through a variety of lenses.
