In search of Spirituality

As long as I can remember, I have always had a faith in God, and in having that faith, I was able to get through the many troubled times in my life. The teachings of Jesus Christ, and the scriptures in the King James version of the Bible. Have been my corner stone of who I am today. But as you get older, and experience life on lifes terms. Many questions seem to arise. Like why are we really here? How can there be so much cruelty in the world? etc. etc. I have done deep studies thru the scriptures, science discoveries, sumerian teachings, pagan beliefs, and my own feelings of being connected with other living things. I can feel that there is something greater going on. There are so many people through time and present-who say there is another dimension. There is a heaven and hell. The churches all say that their way is the only way to reach God. And so on and so on. But not one human-religious church-cult or group can physicaly prove anything that they say. Just as I can not prove to you how having blind faith has helped me personaly aquire the strenghts and choices I've made to reach to today. I do not follow man-made religions. But have take alittle of this and that from different teachings from time, which seem to work for me. So are there others out there who feel or seek that big mystical questions? Why are we really here? and Where do we go from here?

i feel that most of us eventually arrive at summarizing parts of religions we have been assoiciated with or Will it be understood, no. No more than we can understand one's child or husband explain why they caused harm to those that love them. As far as seeking the answer to why I am here, not sure i really want an answer. this could bring much dissapointment to one who Where do we go from here? we all have to decide for ourselves. We all stand at the fork in the road or at a crossroad. the path we take is unique to the individual. Is there a right or wrong path to take? I feel that the path your on will require many decisions and its up to us if we bring harm to any living creature in our world. As far as the cruelty we live with day to day and how to deal with it comes again to our inner being. Can we not reach out to one person one cruel act, by responing to it in some form that we feel is good? we see animals treated badly, do we report such things? If you see an animal tied up outside when the temperature is dangerous to its health do we make a call to report said behavior? when we see a child being treated roughly do we get a liscense number to notify the police or child protective services? Yet are there not those who have a blind eye to such acts? Perhaps becasue they have yet to take that first step in notifying someone.
