I feel a happiness and freedom with life that i feel i learned from my mom when she was going thru cancer .. her philosophy became give your troubles to god and he will take care of them ... which is the best advice / outlook i have ever heard . because all that worry and stress that you put on yourself just holds you down . depresses you and makes you feel worse off than you need to be .. so when it comes to Stress and depression or worries i give it to god and let him take care of it because if i cant do somthing about it then god will have to because noone elce will

Answer 2

It is impossible for me to get depressed or feel like life sucks when there are so many wonderful creatures, environments, nature and natural phenomenon on this incredible planet...I am completely at peace with everything life has to offer, good, bad mediocre, all of it is taken in with equal stoicism on my part because I feel like nature has taught me an important lesson most other people miss while searching for divinity, omnipotence, and a reason why.... I have all I need to understand and learn about life within myself and all around me, I dont need other people or gods or religions or social groups to be happy I am content in all ways, no doubt about what is right, no fear of the unknown or death, no hatred for those less enlightened, no confusion about my convictions, no uncertainty about my purpose and above all a driving curiosity that opens the door to all knowledge if I am so inclined.... I attribute that to Mother Nature, Mother Earth whatever you want to call the universal life energy that we all are a part of..

"I believe in God only I spell it Nature"... Frank Lloyd Wright

The first act of awe, when man was struck with the beauty or wonder of Nature, was the first spiritual experience... Henryk Skolimowski

“Despite great diversity, there is a shared worldview and ethics in both super-naturalistic and naturalistic forms of contemporary nature-oriented spirituality. The common perception can be stated succinctly: The earth and all its life forms and processes aresacred. We belong to them and they to us -- we are kin. We should, therefore, act lovingly, reverently, and respectfully toward them. We must not unnecessarily injure these beings and processes when we take from them what we need to live. The key tocontemporary earth-based spirituality and ethics is, therefore, a felt sense of “connection,” kinship, and loyalty to earth, her life forms, and living systems.”

Answer 3

Well, my Mom, Aunt, Grandma & Grandpa, all taught me to basically follow the golden rule, treat other's as I'd want to be treated.

I also admire people like Gandhi, the Dalai Llama, Martin Luther King, and anybody who acts with both courage and kindness as much as possible.
I'm far too lazy to hold a candle to any of them, and can't resist making fun of and provoking "Hell & Brimstone" types, and jerks/celebrities/politicians in general. I'm a bit of a neurotic mess sometimes too, but I do try to help people as much as I can, and take actions that create good feelings, peace and mutual understanding. Spirituality to me is simply trying to improve myself, and work on giving something back to the world and other beings in it. It's a constant struggle to keep my ego in check and also to not go insane from what people do to each other, or have happen to them. I'm pretty lucky myself most of the time.

Beautiful natural places, like the ocean shore, and green foresty places, animals (that don't try to eat me) and of course kind people probably make me feel most happy and at peace, and that just maybe there is something benevolent out there watching over us.

Answer 4

Respect those respect me, this makes dealing with people alot easier. I do not waste time, kindness, and love on ingrates. I am responsible for my own actions, I cannot blame my bad deeds on "satan and his followers".

I attribute my new spiritual life to Anton Levay and Satan.

Answer 5

No stress, No problems, only peace & happiness. I attribute this to no self. { As hard as I have looked I have not found one yet.}

Answer 6

yeah, i dont believe there is a god or a religous figure who is not corrupt, i owe this belief to the endless years of wars and massacre that misinterpretation in religous texts have brought about, i do believe religous texts are ideal, peaceful in concept, but still something to difficult for humans to achieve
