Hello everyone. I am new here, obviously, and felt that I should say hello. I have come here as part of a search for answers.. I believe that something must exist aside from the physical world that is obvious to the human eye, yet, I do not know what that is.

I started life as a Christian, as many people have, yet early in highschool I realized that I didn't actually believe that God existed. I had simply been saying "yes, i'm christian" because my parents were, and it was expected of me. I then wandered around for a while, becoming athiest and then an animist briefly, before drifting into a sort of agnosticism.

Anyway, I have a problem; one which has brought me searching here and various other places. I believe that something must exist..yet I do not know what that is. And my mind requires evidence, not just belief. -.- Truly, it is a despairing place that I have reached. At times I get rather depressed about it and so I go searching about and I sit thinking..but I have yet to come up with any good answers. So..i've come here to continue my search.

Thus, I do not know how long I may stay here; but I felt I would let people know that I was here. Because no one likes trolls. :p

I certainly hope so. ;-) The main problem is, that my beliefs are so scant that it is hard to explore them. :p And waiting for revelation doesn't seem to be working. :tribal:

Hehee, that's one of my favorite smilies!

Namaste and welcome! We're happy to have you here! There are a number of people that find that they're having trouble exploring their beliefs. I find that it's fun, while waiting to decide what you do and don't believe, to explore those of others! And, if nothing else, it's always good to have friends during your journey!

There's a link in my 'signature' for our newer members. Please let me or anyone else here know if you have any questions in that area- we'll try to steer you in the right direction!

I am so pleased you've joined the Forum! Reading your intro

I am not sure, but I should imagine many share your thoughts. The fact that your mind feels the need for evidence is not unusual; I guess that comes from our culture and society, and our curiosity.

I really am sorry to hear that you are in a 'dispairing place'; that sounds awful. The only suggestion I can offer is to go for a good long walk in the countryside, and try and 'tune in' with nature, and just let ideas come into your mind. If you try too hard, it won't work; relaxation and an open mind are the best way to open yourself up.

Whatever you decide, whichever path you choose will be the right one for you. No one can tell you what is right and what is wrong - that must come from within you.

I look forward to reading your posts, and hope you find what you are looking for.:)

Welcome. Yes there is something more than what meets the eye. God cannot be seen with the eye, but rather is that which causes the eye to see (The Upanishads). How can we find God? Be still and find him right within you (The Bible). The Lord is manifested in all aspects of creation (Bhagvad Gita).
