The Journey Begins...

[StudentOfGod]

Hello everybody,

Just a quick introduction from a new member.

A little bit about myself and why I'm here. I was never brought up in a religious household. Though both my parents were raised Catholic, they decided not to push their beliefs on me and let me formulate them myself when I was old enough (or had the inclination... whichever came first).

Well, the time has come, where I’ve become quite interested in religion and spirituality and the nature of God. I’ve been studying all the major religions, looking for one that makes the most sense to me (my jumping off point has been reading The Bible, the Torah, the Qu’Ran, and the Dhammapada).

So I'm here to see what other people are up to on their spiritual journeys, and maybe learn a few things to help me on my own.

Cheers everybody!

Hello. My feet are so cold and wet. I hope yours aren't. Welcome to the forums.

Oops! *tucks the wooden shoe jokes away in a drawer...*

Welcome to the forums, StudentOfGod. Don't mind any of us.

Welcome! Mind if we call you "SOG" for short?

what do you hope to gain by your journey/what do you hope to lose?

I hope to gain a greater understanding of God and the Universe (perhaps even the discovery that they are one and the same).

I hope to lose any misconceptions I may have about faiths I don't yet understand and about ten pounds.

 

[StudentOfGod]

Y'know, there are only two things I can't stand. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures. And the Dutch.

Thanks for the warm welcomes.

SoG works for me.

What's the appropriate way to abbreviate your name?

However you want. You could shorten it to, StGod.

Welcome to the club. Your summary sounds a lot like mine.

Friend StudentOfGod,
Welcome once again to RF.
The right place to religion is any place provided one allows their inner nature to take them on that jouney and that itself is the journey to create the atmosphere to enable our inner nature to comeout and be free and we are free in flowing with that energy.
Best Wishes.
Love & rgds
