I have been on here for a long time now, and I see all sorts of different labels thrown about. So I will ask you more experienced regulars what you would say I am.
I am human. (Despite my avatar)
I am a writer. I write primarily famtasy, with a bit of romance and horror thrown in.
I am a woman, studying in a Catholic college to be a Spanish teacher.
I believe in the power of the Four Elements, and the joining power of Spirit.
I believe that almost all things have a soul.
I believe in the Big Bang, and evolution. I believe the Elemental Spirits developed as the world did, and they are probably different on other planets.
I believe it is mathematically impossible that we are the only planet with life on it.
I believe animals are people too.
I grew up a poor white girl in the Twin Cities, Minnesota.
I am a bookworm.
Most importantly, I believe Love is All That Matters.
If I think of anything else, I will add that too. Thanks for your imput.

Don't worry; jb_freq is my husband and I have called him. *sigh* This is what happens when a person forgets their cellphone...

If you are looking for a precise way to label your theology, then that is a little difficult. You did not specify if you believe in any particular deity or not! That is the biggest "way" to discern the difference.
From what you have written, you sound like a person with Wiccan, New Age, or Hindu beliefs. The Polynesian animism may also be close.
Without any specific belief in named "gods", I would say New Age or Animism. Wiccans and Hindus have multiple gods and goddesses.
BTW, somebody identifying himself as your husband was posting here a few minutes ago, claiming you as his wife, and that you were lost....missing....you may want to call home. Or not, in case it is some weirdo!

You are my twin, apparently:
* I'm human and I write fantasy stories.
* I'm a woman who went to college for Spanish Secondary Ed and taught school before having kids.
* Ditto on the elements, universal soul, evolution, animals...
* Whoops, never been to Minnesota... but I'm white and pretty darn poor too.
* Bookworm? Definitely!
LOL that's weird.

You are all what you wrote there, but you are beyond these things.
You are not your body,
you are not your mind,
you are not your emotions
you are not what you learned or studied
you are not your ego or conditionings
you are not your social or material position
you are the one that sees all these things in a deep silence...
you are pure love,
and you are the true pure self that is the spirit within you, the reflection of God
And if you know this you will have all the knowledge of the Universe

Hopeful, if God allows, I'll be able to ask you how that worked out for you......in eternity.
The bible does indicate that those who are lost will be able to see those who are saved. There will be a great void between, that no one will be able to pass through. Still, in the parable of the beggar and the rich man, there is an indication that some communication is possible.
Luke 16:24And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.
26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.
By the way, if your honest, you should add to your bio that you worship the god of your own mind, which in essense, is yourself and your own idea of right and wrong/love and hate.
Same o, same o, you can be as God.
So that's what you are, at least to yourself, you are your own god.

Agnostic comes to mind with metaphysical aspects as well.
I agree Kharm, you are a sweet person.

It sounds like you're an animist. Yay, animism!

You are whomever you wish to be... all people are empty of inherent existence and changing... so I don't necessarily label others, except as is necessary to survive.

You are you why be labeled as anything else? Uniqueness is divine.
