Answer 1

No you don't have a problem. There are many people who often find explanations for their experiences best expressed in religions other than the one they declare themself to be or even the religion they were raised (if the two are not the same). I am a former Christian who still very much admires and worships Jesus, but my heart is at home in Hinduism. That does not mean that I do not draw inspiration from Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism, Taoism, Judaism, Islam, and even Christianity. In fact, I do draw inspiration from reading many of their sacred texts or about the lives of their holy people just as much as I do from the Hindu sacred texts and about the lives of the holy people in my own religion. My religious beliefs are definately centered and heavily focused on Hinduism and Hinduism encompasses so much of them, but that doesn't mean that inspiration or understanding cannot come from outside of this. We all understand God differently and God approaches us differently. Some of us our content with just adhering to one religion and being completely and deeply devoted to it, others are deeply devoted to one religion, but occasionally find inspiration, understanding, or just a different perspective that they hadn't considered within other religions, too. It doesn't mean they practice that religion over their own religion, the main religion that they are deeply devoted to is still how they worship and express themselves and how they practice. For example, ahimsa (nonviolence) is a value of all the dharmic faiths (Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism), but each has a different approach to ahimsa itself and so I can always look to each of these for understandings and perspectives on the ideas of ahimsa. And I can also look into other religions and their perspectives on nonviolence as well. It doesn't mean that any of them are necessarily wrong, they are just different approaches and perspectives and that can be refreshing!

Are you destined to be an anthropologist studying other cultures the rest of your life? No, not necessarily. I have a strong interest in other cultures, religions, history, geography, etc. Yet that seems to be more of a personal interest. My desire to be a pharmacist also is derived from my interest in medicine, healing, science, and being able to help others. Who knows, someday my interest in other religions, cultures, history, geography, etc and my interests in helping others, medicine, healing, and science may all combine together for a brief moment in my life. It can happen. But I don't have the desire to be an anthropologist, my desire is to be a pharmacist. So don't think that just because you have an interest in one set of things that it means that you are destined to be a particular career. In high school if someone had told me I would be a pharmacist someday I would have laughed at them and wondered why they even thought that. Today I realize that my interests led me to train to be a pharmacy technician (which I am a nationally certified pharmacy technician now: CPhT). Taking courses and volunteering at pharmacies helped me realize how pharmacy met with some of my interests that I didn't think had any place (I have a deep fear of blood, have difficulty looking at bruises or broken bones..thank goodness for bandages and casts...so I had ruled out doctor and nurse a long time ago). For a while when I was in school I thought I wanted to be an architect...that is until I realized just all an architect does. Then I thought I wanted to be a teacher (since I had tutored and that was fun and I always enjoy sharing knowledge) until I worked as a substitute teacher for a school district and realized that being a teacher wasn't exactly what I thought it was like. I thought about being a writer, but that has always been a hobby that helps me to relax so I didn't want to place stress on it by trying to make it my source of income. I thought about being an anthropologist, an archeologist, a city manager, an urban planner, a sociologist, and even a musician (I play the flute, trumpet, and tenor saxophone). I gave each a lot of thought and over and over again I looked at what I valued in a career choices and looked at my interests. Coincidently, it was while talking with a friend that the pharmacy tech course got mentioned. We agreed to take it together. I got enrolled and paid the cost. My friend on the other hand ended up changing her mind and not going, but I decided to give it a try. The description sounded interesting afterall. So I went and fell in love with pharmacy. And as we got to volunteer in a pharmacy as well as of course learning about the medicines and how they work and other stuff in the classroom, it really made a connection with me. At first when people asked "so are you going to go on and become a pharmacist?" I'd answer "no, I don't think so." The more I thought about it and the more I talked about it with people I knew and worked with, I began to realize that being a pharmacist actually met all of what I was searching for in a career. It was an important social job, it helped others, it required knowledge, the knowledge is always changing so you have to keep learning, it pays decently, there is a demand, it matches my personal interests, it is both a job that allows me to work with data, objects, and people.

So whatever it is that you are 'destined' to be, you'll figure it out eventually and don't worry if you look into other religions and borrow a few ideas here or there. Know that you are not alone and you do not have a problem.

Peace be with you.

I don't think its wrong to explore other religions. Its nice that you are spiritual where you want to see what's out there and not stick to one religion because someone tells you that's the way it is. Good luck with your endeavours. I would rather be well informed than in the dark.
