My spirituality is important to me.
When manic, however, it seems that spirituality and religion become the strongest forces in the universe. I don't need to explain too much...most likely, most of us have been in that state. Believing that I am chosen to do God's work, or live by example uber alles the teachings of Jesus, or to become a devout Jew. Once I shaved my head in preparation for becoming a Buddhist nun.
That stuff. Thus, the reason for my question.

Thank you. It can be quite difficult for those of us who have strong spiritual beliefs. The purpose of the thread was ro provoke conversation on the topic.
