I am not a conventionally religious man, but in the wilderness I have come closest to finding myself and knowing the universe and accepting God - by which I mean accepting all that I don't know.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I was an agnostic until I realized that I had to choose between God and fate. The idea that humanity and nature are the result of fate was not convincing at all. I find the presence of God everywhere.
You don't have to be peculiar to find God.
God is to me the Great Unknown. I believe in Him, but I find Him not.
I always had a really natural faith as a kid. Where I knew God existed and it felt very free and pretty wild and natural, and it wasn't religious.
I came to realize I did believe in God. I couldn't conceive of a universe without someone overseeing it in a compassionate way.
As life nears its end with me, I find myself meditating more and more upon the mystery of its nature and origin, yet without the least hope that I can find out the ways of the Eternal in this or in any other world.
Ever since I was young, I was always interested in exploring spirituality. I know that there are many paths to God, there is not just one path.
I find myself seeking out the commonalities of our different religious experiences with hopes of encouraging, through my writings, the most hopeful, loving and redemptive qualities in all of us.
Don't be confused that my interest in religion, faith, and spirituality is driven by any sense of faith or spirituality of my own.
I think if you let go of preconceived ideas, you'll find everything in this life. For me, my understanding is God is all that is, God is everything, all that is, and your true God is within, and that's the power that you have as a human being.
