Greetings!

I think that there are some of us in life that are always looking for answers..seekers we often are called *smile*.

Sounds like your not looking for a religion insomuch as your looking for spirituality or your "divine spark" or "inner self".

Personally, I classify myself as pagan with Wiccan influence, but I was raised a Christian. I've been actively seeking personal spiritual growth for about fifteen years now..since you were a baby! *geez I'm getting old*

Note, that I'm not recommending this to you..as you must find your own path. Whether it be Christian, Non-denominational, Buddhist, Pagan, Hindu, Atheist, etc.

DISCLAIMER TO THOSE READING THIS: NO I don't do creepy things like eat babies and hurl curses, AND I will not give out any spells (only advice about the subject).

Anyhoo, some people need religion, others seek spirituality, and yet others need nothing at all. My best advice for you is to read as much as you can about different spiritualities, religions and their practices and find what suits you best.

Personally, my first step to spiritual and personal enlightenment began with meditation. I recommend that to everyone- no matter what religion or spirituality you may or may not hold dear. It's an extremely useful tool for stress, helps you discover yourself, and helps you get in touch with your inner needs and wants that reside in your subconscious.

In the meantime, check out this website for research regarding spirituality/religion:

The above page has tons of information on all types of religions, spiritualities, and practices without prejudice.

And, because I suggested meditation, and this may be the BEST BET for you- here's a great link to get you STARTED to finding your "divine spark", and learning more about yourself:

see if my linking is up to par...

Okay..so linking doesn't work on this site..at least in the two ways I know how to link.

As you progress in meditation, you should seek out more meditation techniques that will serve your personal needs. (purification for example)

Blessings,

whoa, thanks for all the links! I appreciate it!

I'm a 36 year old mom who has too much life experience. I realize that, no matter your age, life throws some crazy curve balls at you when you least expect it. I know in my heart that absolutely no one is perfect..and we all make wrong decisions at one time or another; and sometimes we just need someone to help us out without being judgmental! Furthermore, I think that the only stupid question is the one that you don't ask...knowledge is power.

One of my favorite sayings:
"If you live in a glass house, don't throw stones."

Well folks, we ALL live in glass houses at one time or another!

Never say never,
Jasmine
