“Just a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life” -Buddha

Spirituality influences the individual through acts of faith, hope, and love. This chapter provides an overview of
spirituality and religion. It also includes topics on the practice of animism.

THE SPIRITUAL SELF

The spiritual aspect of the self is the inner essence, the part of the self that connects the person to the sacred,
the supernatural, and the universe. The spiritual self enables the person to experience a feeling of oneness
with a higher being and the universe and gives a deeper purpose or meaning of one’s life. Spiritual Self
develops through interaction, observation, and imitation.

Family, school, and church play a very important role in a child’s spiritual development.

SPIRITUALITY

The root meaning of spirituality is taken from the Latin word “spiritus”, meaning breath or life force.
Spirituality can be understood as the search for the sacred, a process through which people seek to discover,
hold on to, and when necessary, transform whatever they told sacred in their lives. Generally refers to meaning
and purpose in one’s life, a search for wholeness and a relationship with a transcendent being.

“Sacred transcendent” refer to higher being. The term “spirituality” originally developed in early
Christianity, Christians use the term “spirit” to described the Holy Spirit. In Christian Ethics, Pesckhe(1994)
describes that the experience of the sacred is characterized by reverence, faith, fear, trust, love and admiration
which are intimately connected to God.
Worship is regarded as an essential as an essential act to realize the ultimate meaning of transcendence and
human life. Act of worship include: prayer, reading the Bible, attending sacraments and doing sacrifices.

RELIGION

Spirituality is connected to religion, it is an organized system of ideas about spiritual sphere of the supernatural
along with associated ceremonial practices by which people try to interpret and/or influence aspects of the
universe otherwise beyond their control. One’s spirituality may be expressed through religion and participation
in religious rituals and ceremonies. Spirituality and religion fulfill numerous social and psychological needs,
such as the need to explain human sufferings, loss, insecurities and uncertainties.

SEARCH FOR THE MEANING OF LIFE

Victor Frankl begins by sharing his personal experiences in the Nazzi concentration camp. He explains how a
prisoner passes through three major phases in the concentration camp, and how each phase transformed the
prisoners from previous lives to new one and how they developed various pathologies. The prisoner was first in
a state of shock, which was followed by the phase of developing apathy, and lastly; the psychological of the
prisoner offer liberation.

“Apathy” is the blunting of the emotions and the feeling that one could not care anymore. It is the protective
shell from brutalities in the camp. During the last phase, the prisoner experienced depersonalization or a state
on which everything seemed unreal, unlikely, as in a dream. Frankl’s personal experience in the Nazzi
concentration camps during world war II led him to develop the basic tenents of logotheraphy.

“Logotheraphy” is the pursuit of human existence as well as a man’s search for such meaning. In doing a
deed, the way of finding meaning in life is through achievements or accomplishments, second way of finding
meaning in life is by experiencing something or someone such as loving a person, and the third way is by
suffering because to live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffering.

THE PRACTICES OF ANIMISM

Spirituality is also associated with animism, beliefs about sacred also include the primitive concept about
animism or the belief of that creatures, objects and places posses certain spirits.

Animism is also the belief that things and places are alive and grouped by a supernatural order.
