I am more spiritual. When i go to church it is usually a Unity church which is along the lines of new thought. I believe God is love, God exists in all things and beings. I believe in energy. I like buddhist thoughts too and some yoga philosophy. Mania to me is kundalini rising (energy travelling through the chakras from base to crown). I also believe that all the major things that happen to you in life are predetermined, like you have a starting point and a destination with some required stops along the way, but you get to determine your path.
Sometimes I think these beliefs can be bad for me, exacerbating mania and making me feel almost God like when I am on my 'right path' (the most direct route). The good things are increased yoga practice which can be calming and healthy. I also think the singing and community I get at church are good for me.
