hiyuhh. my name is annie.and i'm sort of a big deal.
advice
I don't believe in anything but still feel I need a spiritual playground to frolic in... What should I do???
Well, I am a Catholic Christian, but I suggest that you don't become one, because you will find several things that contradict each other and probably make you frustrated with the religion. Long ago American Indians worshipped the sun and moon because they brought light to help crops grow and light during the night to help them harvest even on late nights. That is kind of interesting, too. A faith I have always wanted to try is Buddhism. It is much like worshipping the Sun because that is the source of our life. You do a series of stretches and yoga exercises to emphasize the belief and to relax you. Strong Buddhists believe that if you treat all with respect and kindness and are in a peaceful state of mind, you have reached "nirvana". That means that you are in a peaceful mind and will stay like that and will live a good life. You don't have to believe in multiple gods or anything, but a really good thing about Buddhism is that you can be a bi-religious person; part Buddhist and part- anything else (I do not recommend being part Buddhist and part Christian; it isn't allowed in the Christian Church). The thing is, there is a way that everything got how it did today, and Earth didn't start by itself or anything; so therefore a stronger spirit-like figure that controls the universe and the super-natural world (which yes, does exist, as some serious scientists say). Christians call it God, and the Indians of the 1700s and 1800s called it the Great Spirit. Call it what you like, or say that it is not there, but whatever you do, good luck! :)
P.S. I think that it is great to turn over a new leaf. As Buddha once said, "A life unquestioned is a life unlived."
P.P.S. Avoid cults.
ok well my name is anna and i just moved to this new house and it really scares me. see everytime i change or take a shower i hear noices. sometimes they say things, and when i invite my friends over they hear things too! now they dont come over! what should i do?
Wow, this sounds like a tough position to be in. What you want to do is find a logical explanation about it. Maybe the low deep voices you hear while you shower could be your dad playing the flute. Water can alter the actual sounds of what really is making the sound. I used to hear an accordian playing while I showered (I know, that's really weird right?). My sister used to hear people talking when she showered, too. She said it was kind of funny. You can either thoroughly search the house for ghosts and ghouls along with a sibling, parent or friend, or you can explain to your mom that you sometimes hear people talking, and it freaks you out. As for your friends, if they ever bring it up, say with a laugh, "Oh, yeah, would you believe that it actually was my brother playing a prank on us?" Or you could say, "Yeah, that was my mom's radio. She always leaves it on without noticing." But always remember, your mom and dad would never have you live in an unsafe house, they love you and always want you to be safe and happy. :)
