Abstract: Spirituality is not identical to religion, but implies a life in the spirit as a result of a religious experience. Spirituality leads to "spiritual knowledge" in contrast to "intellectual knowledge". It is that "search, practice and experience..., through which the subject makes the necessary changes in himself to gain access to the truth." Primary are of course religion beliefs.
