If there's no afterlife, no 'spiritual' dimension, why your interest in a website for matters spiritual?

I think we all have a different interpretation of what constitutes 'Spiritual'. For me, one can be spiritual without reference to deity or afterlife, though in saying that I don't preclude either if that's what drives/rewards you.

What does 'spiritual' mean to you then if it doesn't mean 'of the spirit'?
I'm curious to understand....

What recent incidents has convinced you Joanie?Joanie wrote:I was very unsure of the fact that there could be a spirit life or a life after death.
Incidents recently have convinced me that is very much a life waiting for us somewhere out there.
Wow, it is so hard for most of us but when we here this, we all really know that the spirit life continues after we are gone from this plane. I am sure that was just to prove to you that he said Hi, was to relax you and he new it would give you hope. I am sure you wanted to here more, but he didn’t have to say anymore. That was enough to convince you of immortality and to know you would be together again. Bless you Joanie, you must have felt proud.Joanie wrote:Hi Tony.
This incident is not so recent,
It happened about two weeks after my husband died,The funeral was the following week and I was down visiting my daughter.
Standing outside in her back garden,my mind was miles away. She had the telly on low and suddenly,I heard his voice clear as a bell 'Hey Joanie'. That was repeated again.
It sounded as if it was coming from slightly behind me to to the right. Hubby was 6ft in life,I am small in height so it also sounded as if it was slightly above my right ear.
It was clear as a bell,just as it used to sound when he was working in the garden and would call me.
I called to my daughter and asked if anyone had a spoken in a simuliar fashon on the telly.
She answered 'no' and asked 'Why?'
I told her and we discussed it.
I know that was hubby's voice,I would have known anywhere!
He always told me he would contact me if he was able and he kept his promise.
Lots of instances have happened since then over 5 years.
I will add further examples later,but that was the most obvious.

I have no doubt it was him. Joanie wrote:I would know Ken's voice anywhere,Violet.
He had a deep melodious voice,very pleasant.
I think he was trying to prove to me that he was still around or giving me proof there was life after death.
