What is the definition of spiritual reflection?

Answer 1

The Spiritual Principle of Reflection states that Natural and Spiritual phenomena are reflections of each another. That all existence functions as a mirror for Being, where spirit explores and understands itself from the reflections it makes in the pool of matter.

This has been variously stated as "As Above, So Below" and "Outward reality is a reflection of inward reality".

A detailed description of what this really means is not widely available. Some references are below:

Answer 2

Spiritual means all things related to the human spirit in contrast to all things of a physical nature. Spiritual reflection is the private realm of thought within each of us where we define and refine our own spirituality.

For most people their spiritual nature is informed by their religious beliefs. However, spirituality is not confined to religious belief. Many people are spiritually independent. They develop their spirituality through other means such as a closeness with the natural world, living a mindful life, helping others, meditation, and many other ways that promote spiritual growth. In fact, those who identify as spirituality independent of religion are less judgmental than those who identify with religious spirituality.

Spirituality can involve personal development and well being and leaving one's own positive effect on the world. For some it involves the creation of a purpose for one's own life through unity with others and improving life for others. Independent spirituality embraces such qualities as compassion and patience for others, forgiveness, responsibility, achieving a harmony in one's life and concern for others.

For many spirituality involves promoting green politics and helping others who are less fortunate. It involves a continuing mindfulness of what you are doing, where you are going, what effect your actions have on others and an effort to leave no negative impacts in your wake. It is an understanding that everything in the universe is mutually dependent and individuals can make a difference.

Answer 3

Religious reflection is to use your knowledge and beliefs and to apply these to a different set of circumstances with the goal of understanding one's own beliefs better.

Answer 4

Spiritual reflection is a period of inward remittance. A period a Christian takes a careful look at his life. During this time, the Christian makes effort to change from any sinful act.
