RE: "Spiritual But Not Religious"

This question is probably unanswerable: I had a life transforming experience in 1972 which I was informed meant I had been born again and was now a Christian - having no other point of reference this became my religious identity for over 30 years - albeit I did not feel completely comfortable as a Christian I became a pastor - I enjoyed all manner of 'supranatural' coincidences which convinced me that outside of my Christian religion there was /is a guiding loving 'force' or personality - that which is called 'god'.

Eventually I moved out of Christianity and now follow nothing that might be described as a religion, nor even as 'sprituality' as that too implies some sort of recognisable faith position - so now I live a pretty reclusive life, write poetry which I perform, publish books which I give away, and feel that I live in what Rmi describes as a field beyond words, beyond faith, beyond religion, a space where I can meet all, find agreement with some and if not then that's fine too.

So to conclude I would not define myself as either religious nor spiritual just a happy traveller wave
