What can we learn from spirituality?
Welcome to starculture blog, the crossroads of spirituality and skepticism. Whether you’re a curious skeptic or a devoted believer, this blog offers a unique space to expand your understanding of spiritual themes, from astrology and meditation to ancient faiths and modern internet culture. Dive into thoughtful analysis, fun facts, and practical insights that help you navigate the spiritual and mundane, all while keeping an open, critical, and mindful perspective.
The idea behind this blogspot is to find a common ground between spirituality and disbelief. This common ground is our own free will.
Free will is not something that’s just a given: it’s shaped by something beyond our control internally (we inherited it or were just blessed by a strong will) or externally (our upbringing, culture and individual experiences). And by expanding our knowledge, our free will also expands: we’re not pulled in by the gravity of a single idea, Instead, we are choosing, if we want to stay or to move. This is the freedom of our will.
This freedom allows us to be genuine in our connection with the divine and appreciative of the human experiences that stem toward the otherworldly. Knowledge complements spiritual development and self-development because, in the end, with or without anything divine, we’re all humans—we can all learn from each other, and we can all teach each other.
