Unlearning Religion to Relearn African Spirituality
Welcome to Episode 5 of #TheProcessOfBecomingPodcast by #SiphokuhleBooi
In this video we explore the differences between Spirituality and Religion which are often intertwined but are contradictory concepts, and how African Spirituality has been distorted and misrepresented. We’ll delve into the concept of Universal Spirituality, which…

This was an interesting and heated one. Initially the title of EP5 was going to be 'Approaching Spirituality Religiously' but I needed to be responsible and approach the topic with sensitivity and clarity. This is part 1/2 of the topic where I reflect on Religion and Spirituality giving clear definitions and examples of the two. From these definitions we see why we can't use the two words interchangeably as they are contradictory.
Part 2 will come out next week Tuesday (BONUS)
Thank you for watching🤍🤗
…😊 thank you, I enjoyed the episode…
Ma' am I send a text on Instagram.
Sanibonani Ekhaya, it's my first time here ekhaya… I wish everyone life(Ankh), prosperity(wedja) and health(Seneb)❤ uhm my question will be IS THE A THING CALLED AFRICAN SPIRITUALITY OR IS IT JUST SPRITUALITY? also is African Spirituality becoming a new Religion for black people.
Continue to rise Afrikan Goddess! Your time has come..❤️🖤💚
I hear so much of myself and the things I always say in the things you say, so much that I'm just getting activated.
So you know what, I'm coming back, this is my sign.
Thank you Siphokuhle, thank you.
Spirituality is nature, ever there & ever existing. Trees, oceans, mountains, planets, the sun, the moons, the stars, and that we are one with all of these natural beings & spirit.
Religion is man made, it says don't appreciate the tree, it's just a tree. Don't appreciate the ocean, don't speak intentions to the water you drink, that's worshiping.
So, that to me is a distortion, created by people who intend to take away our purity & light, for their own benefits.
So strange how 5 hours ago you posted this video along with a book by African Hidden Voices stating that you recommend it and earlier on yesterday at 17:44 got an SMS from Exclusive Books saying my book 'An Introduction to African Indigenous Spirituality' has arrived. By the way I'll collect it on Thursday.
Again this proves a point that we are now in an Era of Spiritual Identity (2025) ,Izthunywa have been waiting for too long now they want to take us to the next classroom of learning about spiritual wisdom that our ancestors knew and resonates with us.
Too deep.😭💙
I can tell you now Siphokuhle this solid tiny audience you have acquired will turn into something 80% bigger within a timeline of 4-6 months.
You deserve your flowers for the hard work you keep on doing for Izwe Lomoya/Spiritual Dimension which is telling people that African Spirituality is a way of life for a black race.❤️
The inconsistencies in organized religion stress me out too🖐️, i feel the frustration. It's only recently that I have truly tapped into spirituality and a whole lot of ancient knowledge and practices which I feel more connected to. I have deep wounds from religion that I am healing from and the path seems so shaky at times but I am glad to know I am not alone. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us💕🌠
Looking forward to the next episode. This video was very insightful. ❤️✨
We owe Baba credo Mutwa an apology 💔 stru!!
