Finding myself has been a very daunting task. I Have been looking all over, reading books, ebooks, online articles, and talking to many people. It has been a rather hard task, I have been looking lately into psi energy, but i am unsure of that as well. I have to say finding god is a hard task. I personally believe god is all around us, but finding his nature is extremely difficult task. What does god want me to do with myself? I was talking to a Christan the other day, and he told me that their is only one god, and that is Jesus Christ, and following any other gods will result in my banishment to hell! I think that is just ridiculous, I mean if Jesus loves me, why does he punish me for searching for god, shouldn't he be happy that I am taking time to look all over for other views of God? If I'm shopping for a TV what is the point of just stopping at the first store buying the TV without even thinking or caring about the other TVs or other stores that may sell TVs?

Finding the right spiritual path appears to me to be more of a personal walk, rather than a group walk. What I think is that organized religions are going no were, my thoughts are that my personal search, and personal struggle to find god should be more important about following a preset path made by a organized religion, and a book written thousands of years ago, that has very little inside it that makes to much sense. Well thats just what I believe. I am still not done with my spiritual journey, but I have made a good start I feel. I still feel I have much more to learn, but I am searching for those answers inward, due to things that I have learned from books I have read and people I have spoken with.


I have read these to ebooks that have helped me find myself and God when I was very confused. Since then I have made upon myself a good start to what I hope is the answers of my struggle. I am no longer plagued by the thoughts if God exist or does not, I am certain of his existence, and am ready to follow him. The first one is the first book i read and has helped me grow the most It can be read here. The other, I recently got has opened my eyes to God and has helped me grow with him so much the webpage is right here. Until my next posting I wish you all luck! I hope you find the answers you are looking for.
In recent years, spirituality in religion often carries connotations of a believer having a faith more personal, less dogmatic, more open to new ideas and myriad influences, and more pluralistic than the doctinal/dogmatic faiths of mature religions. It also can connote the nature of believers' personal relationship or "connection" with their god(s) or belief-system(s), as opposed to the general relationship with a Deity as shared by all members of a given faith.

Those who speak of spirituality as opposed to religion generally meta-religiously believe in the existence of many "spiritual paths" and deny any objective truth about the best path to follow. Rather, adherents of this definition of the term emphasize the importance of finding one's own path to whatever-god-there-is, rather than following what others say works. In summary: the path which makes the most coherent sense becomes the correct one (for oneself).

Many adherents of orthodox religions who regard spirituality as an aspect of their religious experience tend to contrast spirituality with secular "worldliness" rather than with the ritual expression of their religion.

People of a more New-Age disposition tend to regard spirituality not as religion per se, but as the active and vital connection to a force/power/energy/spirit, or sense of the deep self. "Religion is not identical with spirituality; rather religion is the form spirituality takes in civilization."
