I feel like I believe in it for other people but I just can't see myself believing enough to reveive. I believe in the concepts of God being above religion and I also like looking at the Universe as God, which used to be very fulfilling spirituality for me, but not hitting the same anymore. Sometimes I wonder if it's a neuro imbalance.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: I have experimented with psychedelics like acid, shrooms and DMT. Thanks for all your input!

This is why I ended up bringing psychedelics into my spiritual practice.

Tired of reading about other ppl who felt god, saw god, etc. and decided I should look inward and see what looks back and together we can go from there.

It's been working well so far!

You can detach yourself from the organized religious aspect of spirituality and still be a spiritual person.

I believe in the Christian God, I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe Jesus died for my sins. I believe he was a man of kindness, love, empathy, compassion.

I try to live my life by those same principles and be the best person I can be.

I do all of this while not falling into evangelical conservative bs & condemning everyone else to hell.

Are these solo and introspective trips?

Yeah I've only ever done two trips with others. Probably about a dozen or so alone?

Look in the mirror than king!

Ive build my own relationship with God, in my experience you wont "communicate" with God but events in life and connecting with scripture is when I "feel" God

Its a two way street you have to seek him out

Yeah I can see the difference there. I guess I'm at a crossroads between detached and religious spirituality.

What influenced you to have your beliefs?

God has nothing to do with religion man !!

You don't have to follow a religion to believe in God bro

Do those moments feel like they all connect together and remind you of God? I have those moments but they seem to ground me in different ways every time. Might be to do with how I feel about myself

How else are you gonna find him? By disregarding over thousands of years of work and study over what you think is correct?

Feeling another man

God is always, im never reminded of God. My best advice is scripture.

Tons of religions have different takes over what the bible says

You don't have to follow any of them, use your own interpretation

I think some people have a connection with God that is satisfied by what they make of it, not necessarily based on religious history. Which I've seen with people before

Here's what I did and what I know to be 100% facts. Pray to God for the Truth. Pray for understanding of who you are, how the world was made etc. Any questions you have, ask it in prayer. God is the realest experience in the world.
You don't need d**** etc. just a sober mind and an honest heart.

I'll give you a hint, every religion from Christianity, Catholicism, Hindu etc. worship the same pagan diety. Babylonian Trinity of Tammuz, Nimrod and Ishtar. Yes there are core productive principles in every "religion" however the Bible says that the New Year is in March/April (depending on the year) that's why Easter (passover) is in April - sometimes May.

But, Christians celebrate New Years in January because it's pagan worship. Christmas is Nimrod's and Tammuz' birthday. Cited here, God exposes this Tammuz worship to Ezekiel.

That's why some ppl do lent, whetether they're aware of it or not, it's worshipping the ancient Babylonian dieties. That's apart of why the bible calls this modern world Mystery Babylon.

Jesus is real af. Read the historical accounts of him, he really existed. He's coming back.

Idk it just happens naturally for me randomly sometimes, maybe microdose psychedelics?

Still if you want to have a better connection with God, it takes work. Look into scripture

Matthew 7:7-8
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

You feel it when microdosing or microdosing introduced those feelings?

They didn't introduce them I've got the feeling I do when on acid before obviously without the visuals and not as intense but you definitely get that feeling yeah
First time I did acid I took like a half a tab and it was perfect tbh

Very informative thanks, and I guess asking for truth in prayer is the best way I can approach this

Anytime man. Back in Summer of 2012, I was in the same situation. One prayer changed my life. Didn't know what I was learning 100% at the time but maybe one year later, just having that patience and curiosity helped me understand the world on multiple levels. Whatever book/information I was led to study, I studied it. It's a process, it takes 9 months for a baby to be born, once you plant that seed, you'll see the benefits of it. The journey and explosion of information is so much fun! Take notes and enjoy the ride. If I was led to the Quaran, I'd be in the quaran. Egyptology, I'd be in them hieroglyphs lmao.

Asking who you are first and asking for the truth is very important. That keeps you grounded within your culture, then you can help your family and friends.

Blessings and peace

I’ve found myself dipping my toes into spirituality again recently, after years being just an indifferent agnostic. There’s got to be more to life and existence than blunt materialism. Not sure if I’ll go back to the church but I love the community aspect of it
