Most of us have some sort of conversion experience from, or within the religion of our parents. Many of us have times of doubt, "dark nights of the soul," or a fall from faith for good or bad. My personal journey could be viewed as evolutionary, moving up a ladder from one religion or another, but to be more correct, I'd have to say my journey has been moving more horizontally and somewhat indirect.

No one has arrived, including myself. I am a Christian and Christ started His transforming work in me and will be faithful to complete it. He knows what He's doing and He's the only one qualified to make us holy and whole! God Bless You!

It has taken me a long time to realize that I am lost without daily prayer and meditation. I have come to a point where I realize that a power greater than me can and will bring me to a happier and healthier life if I can admit it and ask for it.
I know this now by experience, and it is the rare time my prayers are not answered, and that is because they may sometimes take a while to come to be. But they do, if you have the time to look for them.
I am only starting (10 years) my current journey, and it will take my lifetime to complete.
I am happier now, and look forward to more "miracles" in the future!!

No one should have ever told us the road was going to be an easy journey. All we can do is pray and ask God to lead and guide us the way he wants us to go.Once our parents opened the door to religion it shall be very hard to stay away for a long time.I often ask myself when will God return and I know when he comes back no man shall know because it's going to be spiritually,but I know we are now having signs that we are living in our last days. We need to get right,keep focus on the prize and pray for our families,friends and any one who rejected the teaching of Christ.

My journey has had many valleys and many high mountains. Today, admittedly, has been a "valley" day. I love the Lord with all of my heart, and I know that He is here to help me back up to the top. My journey will not be complete until the day He returns for us. Take care and may God bless you all, always.

"Enlightenment is the ego’s best sadness." First matters first enlightenment is the awakening to the truth that there's no such factor in life as an ego. The phantom fake ego thought identification is the outcome of a programming had to position in society now not in ones truth. Enlightenment is a cognizance there's no separation from the complete of life in experiencing Being. Being is all-inclusive within the 2 facets of life; the relative ever-replacing subject of that which exist and absolutely the everlasting none replacing subject of life. A non secular travel has no movement of pondering as a substitute it's experiencing a yoga or union with wholeness in being. It is fine to not believe notion for it's not any shortcomings of the brain however as a substitute shortcomings of the contaminated spindle of belief. (wherein the fake self is coming from) You see what it wishes to peer. As I am definite, you detect notion and doubt are 2 aspects of the coin of now not figuring out. Rather than spending the time to unlearn, spend it fitting extra conscious and mindful. The new finding out will occur on its possess accord. Seeing is the inner most element of Being and utilising the statement software for your movements of everyday bases outcome in internal imaginative and prescient. The fake ego thought is an unsightly factor to behold with many again doorways. Take a appear-see. My observe: Sleepwalkers and unconsciousness are within the equal mattress.

The spiritual journey is never completed for me.
I've had weak and strong points in my religion, and I try to be open minded about other religions.
My spiritual journey is a ladder, I suppose, although it feels more like a line graph. er- nerdy decription.

It has been a fun ride, and will continue until completion. If I have to describe it as movement or a shape, a spiral. If I may make this pun - I think temporality is a passing experience. So - all we have to do is forget our own incarnation to become who we always were.
Some days I cannot forget myself, still, so I expect I may be at this for awhile longer - but hey, the company is good. ;)

mine will never be completed, not even after the day i die
each and everyday i find out more about myself, and through finding myself my beliefs become a muddle of abstract intellect
unlike yours, which moves at a steady pace, mines is a rollercoaster, some turns for what may seem the best for the moment, and a deadly mistake the next

I'd say I came to a dead end. Now I'm an atheist. I do retain curiosity about abstractions and esoterica, but any god like the one in the Bible is not to be worshiped but to be defied.

Journey is the key word, not destination or completed.
