For many years I was content with not having anything to do with religion or spirituality, but in the last year I felt a real need to connect. Last august I decide I would try some meditation and I had the more eye openning spiritual experience of my life. It was amazing. I felt so close to inner peace and when I reached that point, I felt close to a higher power. Since that time I was searching for a community where I could grow and have my religious beliefs without having to believe a certian thing. I found what worked for me at an Unitarian Universalist church in my area. Some of the people that go there consider themself christian, some agnositic, some athesit, some buddhist,etc. I tend to have my own belief system. I find comfort in meditation, especially mindful meditation. I also really enjoy the Tao Te Ching. I enjoy eastern thought. I still believe Jesus was a wonderful man and I believe that he had found a higher spiritual awakening and that is why he could live the life he did. I do not believe he was god and I am not sure I so much believe of the miracles in the bible either.
Smoldering Wick--that store seemed interesting. I like the taboo things. I have friend that is Wiccan and have talked to her. I do not feel compelled to enter into that spirituality but it works very well for her.
I feel like I am coming closer to being at one with my inner spirit which I think is the goal of spirituality. I wish you all luck on what ever spiritual path you are on....
