When you finally have that moment of clarity, that breakthrough, when things seem to make sense, it's a relief that you weren't wasting your time. That it was worth it.

All I can say, to the people who have contributed to this thread, or to anyone who is, in fact, seeking some sort of spiritual awareness, that it is there. No matter what your religious belief, you have the ability to find your way, right inside you. Corny sounding, yes, but the truth.
see, the thing with me is, i don't have any desire to find some form of spiritual awareness. I don't consider anything after this lifetime to be of any importance whatsoever. I dont contemplate why I'm here, or how I got here, I just know that I am, and I have one lifetime to make the most of it, and that's it. All I need in life is to know what I want to do with my life, what i'm passionate about, and go for it.
