What does "spiritual" mean?
I don't believe in a soul, nor do I believe in spirits, but I have, at times, considered myself spiritual. To me, it sort of means, recognizing and promoting the health of the non-physical aprts of us.
I guess in that context, I would say spiritual is the sum of mental and emotional. Or maybe, the rational and emotional.
I would personally have thought that mental and emotional essentially covered the spiritual thing.
I would agree, but throwing as many "buzz words" as you can in an advertisement, or putting as many descriptors in a class description is understandable. There are some people who would never look twice at a class dealing only with "spirituality" and others who would never really consider going to a class devoted only to the "mental" or the "emotional." By listing all three, you cast a wider net.
Is there anything real about it? Or is it just a poetic way of viewing the world?
IMHO it's definitely just a poetic way of talking about the world.
