Difference between Religion and Spirituality

Religion vs Spirituality


The difference between religion and spirituality is based upon one's own belief system. Organized religion tends to be much more organized into a particular mindset or way of thinking.  Religions such as  Christianity, Judaism, and Islam adhere to certain belief systems and traditions.   Other organized religions are Hinduism and Buddhism.  The thing that makes all of these faiths similar is the fact that people have certain places of worship and particular Holy books they usually follow.



Spirituality is an entirely different experience.  Spiritual people tend to have a personal relationship with god, without an intermediary such as "Jesus" between an individual or spiritual being and their connection to a  higher power. Spiritual beings tend to believe in an afterlife and or reincarnation and various spirits.  With spirituality, there is no one holy book. Many spiritual people believe in various truths in all Holy books,   There are no particular places of worship.  This is more of a personal experience, instead of a large group experience.

What is the Law of Attraction?


The law of attraction is the idea that utilizing the power of your subconscious  mind you can manifest the things that you want your life.  Everyone knows that thinking negatively brings negative things into your life. Just merely switching that mindset to something more positive has immediate benefits, and this has been proven by science.  The more positively you think and the more you want good things to happen, the more you will attract  those good thing to you. Most spritual people are well read, as they believe in the vastness of knowledge.

The way to make this work is to continuously envision something good happening to you.  For example, picture yourself completely nailing a job interview.  Picture yourself getting your dream job.  Feel the joy of how it makes your feel now, in your present experience. If you keep this in your mind long enough, and want it enough, you will get it.

Power of Subconscious Mind


The subconscious mind yields enormous power.  Most people don’t seem to realize this, and brush it off.  That is a big mistake.  Take dreams for example.  They are completely controlled by your subconscious.  When you have a bad dream, even if it seems like a complete nonsense, it’s usually a sign there’s something wrong with your thinking.  Realistically, this is something you should address.

The subconscious ties into the law of attraction.  This sooner you feed or implant your desires into your subconscious mind, the sooner you will reap the benefits of the law of the attraction and your subconscious mind manifesting what you desire into your life.



Conclusion


Religion is structured, and leaves you little room to expand and learn other belief systems. Religion is a means of controlling individuals to get them to behave and believe a certain way. In my opinion it is better to study outside of what has been handed down to you as the only truth and find your own truth within the infinite universe.
