It's become a way of life. A journey a path....acceptance, peace, balance, grounding. A way to learn how to channel energy into more positive ways instead of self destructing ones.....
Have felt things, all my life, so that really doesn't go under, christian vs. non-christian, other than the intolerance christianity has towards something that is completly natural and a way of life...
out of the ordinary? you would have to define ordinary ;) because most days are extradordinary ;)

my life has been wonderful since i have been on this spiritual path .. although in hindsight I'm sure Ive been on it all my life
i am open to others feelings .. even on a psychic level
i am open to spirit .. on a mediumistic level ..
i have just passed reiki healing 1 .. next one soon
the world is brighter and more beautiful
and each thing i do and say i see lessons in
each thing others do and say , i see lessons in
if you ask me on a physical level are things perfect then the answer would be no way .. my husband keeps very ill , i have just lost my father , i have little money , my mother doesn't keep well since dad passed
but life is sooo wonderful .. because my perception of things has changed drastically and i know one day despite any losses , illness , struggles , i can see more than just those struggles , i can see past them at the big picture , i can deal with anything because i am so strong in character and i will be a shoulder for anyone who needs it , and in the end ... i will be in spirit and with everyone i loved

I grew up in a christian household, and the country I live in is 90% christian. I have experienced what I think was god and the holy spirit when I was a teenager but as I became mature I begun to open up and begun asking more questions about the bible, about god and about other religions. I am a geography fan, and as I start to read more literatures on the evolution theory, looked at fossils and bones I became confused. My first question was "how do I fit this into the adam and eve story? I then began to read more about charles darwin (evolution by natural selection)and then it struck me, "I have seen it happen in my own back yard" When I was about 12 years old my uncle who breed dogs, his favorite bitchhh had a litter of puppies and when they came out with different lenght tails. What so special about the experience?, well the usual practice of dog breeders is to clip the ears and tails of the pups when they are born. The bitchhh that had the litter had her tail cut when she was a pup and so did her mother. So there, right there in front of my eyes was a form of what I would call evolution.
So from then my real spiritual journey began as I try to understand this God that we serve. I have now decided that Im gonna start experiencing God for myself and no longer through the views and experiences of others. I learned above all things to respect other religions. Cause for me God relieves himself in different forms. Now the more I read the bible, the more I stop relying on it. My question now are why should I involve myself in a religion or with a God that shows favour to a certain race (Jews) Is it right? this inequality? should I be ok with it?
But I believe that day by day he relieves himself to me in different ways. And right now Im allowing it. If its one thing, I have not ruled out his existence.

I haven't seen any miracles, but then I hadn't seen any when I was a Christian. The only thing that happened was that I was released from the mental bondage of religion and I could actually know more. See more. Feel more. Life was in my control now. I had power over my actions, I had responsibility.

Each person, whether Christian or not, must find for themselves what they consider the truth. For me, breaking free of what I consider to be the total nonsense of religious beliefs freed me to develop my spiritual side (which is the opposite of religion) and to seek the truth. It brought me peace and happiness. As long as I was adhering to someone else's falsely imposed beliefs, I found myself always judged and self-judging. Now, I can just seek the truth with no judgement and be free. It is wonderful. Religion was the worst thing that ever happened to me. Thankfully, I recovered.

Life is no different. I am at peace with myself.
No one has ever seen things, heard things, been healed, etc. It is all make believe. No Christian or Hindu or Muslim or any other religous person has had that happen

If you find a religion that has more Dharma and less dogma, you see that the real miricals are not walking on water, or air, but walking the earth.
You become a better person, not out of fear of damnation, but through true inner strenth. Of course you have to be ready for it.
I have a better understanding of life, people, and what I need to be truly content.

My life is exactly the same as before with the exception that I am not surrounding myself with people who want to judge, criticize and otherwise force their opinions on me with no regard how badly they have to behave to do that. Outside of not subjecting myself to toxic people every Sunday, nothing in my life has changed at all.
By the way, people who were never Christian would not have anything to compare it to. How would they know any difference at all?

Christian or not, any spiritual path a person takes will affect their life. That is what the journey is about.

before i became a Muslim I was a Christan but not Christ like. In Church many sinful acts were commited by everyone from the minister down to the layman.
I was snatched from darkness and placed on the clear path of Islam. praise God!
