Thankyou so much Echo (your ID is really nice),

What a beautiful thing to write, it made me feel all warm and fuzzy. As for my religion; I am not religious, more spiritual. I was brought up Catholic. When I moved into high school I became disillusioned with that whole thang, so I explored the "occult" which led me (and my Mum) to Wicca/Paganism. This was a much more beautiful religion, with a greater emphasis on the feminine energy and wisdom (Goddess), which was very refreshing and exciting after such a heavily patriarchal system like Catholicism (with virtually no acknowledgement of the feminine- except for Mary of course, she was a trooper wasn’t she).

After a year of expanding my spiritual perspective with Wicca I realised that it was not for me either. It was still "religion", laden with "ritual" and "tradition"... I think those elements have faded out of importance in our modern society, and a more personal relationship with the Divine (how ever you want to percieve it) is in order.

Reading "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle and then the "Conversation with God" series by Neale Donald absolutely revolutionised my thinking ("feeling" would be more a more accurate word actually), reminding me of things I somehow already knew, deep somewhere. I believe we 'incarnate' on this plane of existence for a (or many) particular reason(s) and the "meaning of life" is re-membering (putting back together) where we came from and what we wanted to do in coming here.

Thanks for your curiosity, it is always most welcome... I return the favour... what are your spiritual beliefs?

Dae,

Rob.

P.S. Where in the world do you come from? I live in Australia.
