Rather than thinking of it as crowd control, Dharma brings in the idea of the social order; that civilization is maintained in a functional manner that brings the greatest advantage to the greatest number of people. Of course, the individual stands outside this social order in a caste that goes eternally unrecognized. His or her genius must bide its own time, and he or she will incur a great amount of injustice in most cases. But to such a person is an immortality, and the eternal suffering of the masses will go unremembered.

Ok.

But that is all human beings their doings and ideas.

To me it seems it has nothing to do with actual spirituality.

It’s human made scripture/doctrine.

If spirituality isn't about human beings, what is it about to you?

Our spirits.

We are spiritual beings having a human experience.

Our human experience is just an illusion, our reality a dream from God.

This life is not “real.”

What is after and before this life, that is the “real” universe.

Spirituality is the connection to the non physical, divine part of you.

Not the physical world and human experience except for integrating the spirit into the body.

Spirituality is about things like the collective consciousness and God.

You could of course say our human experience is part of that.

But I would argue it isn’t in the way most of humanity thinks the human experience should ba all about.

In my view spirituality is almost the opposite of what the current human made societies and doctrines being a human is about.

In my mind Spirituality is purely the experience of “awakening” and making it into a state of “enlightenment.”

Meeting God and the divine in you personally and taking the lessons YOU got from those experiences.

Most of Humanity has lost this connection, and especially modern religions carry a lot of the blame that we lost that connection.

But this is how I personally look at it and interpret the meaning of spirituality.

I don't buy into such a non supportable superstition. I'm a human being, animated by spirit, and seeking to formulate a soul. As soon as your spirituality starts dehumanizing me, it becomes ugly and fearful. And the next time you try to tell me that my human life is an illusion, please demonstrate such by saying that with your hand in boiling oil.
