The concept of the spiritual self revolves around the idea of an inner essence or soul that transcends the physical body and material world. Spirituality encompasses an individual's deep contemplation on life's ultimate questions, leading to behaviors aligned with their core values. It involves internal reflections on personal values and moral standards, representing one's inner being. Being spiritual means prioritizing love towards oneself, others, and the world. Spiritual individuals recognize the interconnectedness of all beings and strive to embody kindness and compassion in their interactions. Religions usually have organized structures, such as churches, temples, or mosques, where followers gather for worship and community activities. Religion is a set of beliefs, practices, and rituals followed by a group of people. HINDUISM - Teaches that the self, known as Atman, is eternal and identical to the ultimate reality, Brahman. Through the cycle of reincarnation (samsara), individuals experience the consequences of their actions (karma) and seek liberation (moksha) from the cycle of birth and death. BUDDHISM - Views the self as impermanent and devoid of inherent existence. The concept of Anatta (non-self) emphasizes that the self is composed of ever-changing aggregates. SELF IS ILLUSION. JUDAISM - Personal identity is shaped by adherence to Jewish laws, rituals, and traditions, fostering a sense of belonging to the community (klal Yisrael) and a covenantal relationship with God. ISLAM - Personal identity is shaped by adherence to the Five Pillars of Islam, including faith (Shahada), prayer (Salah), charity (Zakat), fasting (Sawm), and pilgrimage (Hajj). Understanding the Soul – The Filipino Tradition Ilokano beliefs mention four souls that animate the body: 1. The kararwa, or the main soul, is vital and only leaves after death. It's the Ilokano term for the Christian soul. 2. The karkarma, or second soul, can leave when frightened or stolen if one ventures to isolated areas. Failure to return can lead to insanity, with ceremonies held to lure it back. 3. The aniwaas (aningaas or alingaas), or third soul, leaves during sleep to visit familiar places. 4. The ar-aria, or fourth soul, is the liberated soul of the dead, visiting relatives and friends. Ang magshishare sa ibang section, babagsak :P
