Spirituality is the path to dissolving the mind and freeing the Will (evolutionary intent of the soul "being") to become a "higher" more pure (tuned)"spirit" that is not restricted to the material. I have noticed that a lot of people say they are spiritual yet their spiritual beliefs are attached to the material ( cerimonialism, ritual, talismans, charms). So in essence they are trapped and governed by their mind. They seek the spiritual but do not have the mental capacity to shift their perceptions away from the mind (material).
The mind is the thread that holds us to this material reality. Our body (shell) has become the anchor that we must master so that we may shift our perceptions towards the spiritual so that we may learn to regain control over our spirit so that our soul may be truly free.
