I believe most of my own difficulties lie in the "fact" that I am a Spiritual Being trying to live a Physical Existence.

This so beautifully expressed JD

I'm glad doc john created this sub-forum. Indeed, coming to terms with one's own world-view or paradigm on existence, their purpose, their spirituality is really important.

I also had a big problem as my own religion was shaken away through my experiences & books that I read. But I found great solace & serenity as I gradually created my own spiritual values & world-view, & found my cosmic purpose

Like you say JD, we have to reformat our world-story, faith, & spirituality when our context & old definitions no longer work... this is evolution

And yes, we're essentially spiritual, emotional beings struggling through physical existence, trying to physically uncondition ourselves to become eternal wholes, fully perceiving the "Universal Whole Being / God" that integrates us...

Ooooh that's so difficult to recover from. I'm so sorry that happened to you. I was watching a YouTube video of a very old interview from the 60's where a psychiatrist was diagnosing a woman with paranoid delusions because she heard voices. But the voices were of her deceased mother and sister and I was thinking. OMG that's not paranoia, she's psychic. How sad for that spiritually sensitive lady to be treated so. Anyway, you have to understand that a lot of people do not believe in anything after this life and so they have to conclude that. That's ok, you know better right? So, listen to your inward voice and move on. If it were me I'd drop that therapist and find one who understands. My therapist is a psychic intuit as am I.

Good day to all. I am here to help those present in the Spiritual plane.
In life, I had to go through a series of Personality transformations, which led to the knowledge of Myself. If you have a desire for Spiritual growth, you can describe important events from your life. Let's try to figure out who you really are.
With Great Love
Spirit.

Patty, I think it is very hard to go alone in spiritual life❣️❣️❣️ I am grateful that I came through addiction stream...and the 12 steps of AA/ NA/etc... They led me to the solid rock of agape love from which I have grown and am
healing❣️❣️❣️
😍... I see you had found a good thing...a heart based belief becomes a solid rock so no more wavering❣️❣️❣️❤️

A lot of my struggles were from my spirituality (who/what I am) and religious upbringing. The confusion of them not being the same really threw me off balance growing up. It played with my mind for years until I dropped my religion and embraced my spirituality above all.

I've been off and on the spiritual for my entire adult life. I'm 71 now and I've finally made my peace with it. Since it's been on my mind since I was 5, it has been the Most constant thread in my life. I've become estranged from the spiritual many times telling myself that biology is beautiful and enough. And biology Is beautiful but for me not enough. I know my Aim and how to work towards it. I need the spiritual to live and give purpose to my life. Without it life to me is like food without salt. All the joy and savor is absent and it's just time passing without meaning. Even social work lacks that real giving for me.

I totally agree but it seems so hard to find genuine seekers.
