Material-Spiritual Framework

Spirituality is exploration.

New Look

30 Philosophers, Chapter 25, Spinoza, Touchstone 66: Material-Spiritual Framework.

The Material-Spiritual Framework is part of the two layers of metaphysics in TST Philosophy. It explores the interplay between the material world and spiritual beliefs. It allows for an open-minded exploration of spirituality and religion, incorporating a personal journey that integrates the empirical, rational, and irrational to form a cohesive worldview.

The Material World is the only realm we know firsthand. Spirituality represents anything larger than the material world and ourselves. It encompasses the currently unknown, the unknowable, and non-physical aspects like consciousness and soul. The Material-Spiritual Framework divides spirituality into agnostic, non-theistic, and theistic. Agnostic Spirituality asserts that nature is purely natural without spiritual guidance. Non-theistic Spirituality asserts the universe has a spiritual essence without supernatural beings. Finally, Theistic Spirituality asserts one or more supernatural beings exist, with more than one realm possible.

All story is part of the broader TST project.

A tidbit may be small, but it does important work. It gives one claim a place to stand, a source to answer to, and a path back into the larger framework.

The end!
