 Divinity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Divinity and divine (sometimes 'the Divinity' or 'the Divine'), are broadly applied but loosely defined terms, used variously within different faiths and belief systems - and even by different individuals within a given faith - to refer to some trancendent or transcendental power, or its attributes or manifestations in the world.
In general, mortals with divine qualities are carefully distinguished from the deity or deities in their religion's main pantheon.
Such divinity, in these faiths, would express itself naturally if it were not obscured by the social and physical worlds we live in; it needs to be brought to the fore through appropriate spiritual practices.
