I've read the bible, to me it has many common sense approaches to living. I can't bring myself to 'commit' to an organised group though. I find I resonate with the 'teachings', but I have problems with people trying to direct them for others.
I have had thoughts and experiences where I can't seem to deny that there is 'something' under the veil of daily living. I also find it funny that when I learn a 'better' way of understanding or interacting, I can no longer ignore the 'higher road'. So in that regard I find it difficult to ignore the spiritual path and find it frustrating at times when that path or direction is seemingly lost to so many others.
I'm in a place where although I call myself 'spiritual' I have not found a common ground with people in society... for the organised religions will not have me because I won't commit to them, and society in general doesn't take my views into account and I can't relate to them, so I feel very isolated. That being said, I find my 'spiritual' views enrich my life, I find beauty and understanding in people and things and sometimes I am amazed at how circumstances and events unfold. It's like occasionally there is some sort of magic in the world.
It would be much easier if I could 'drop' my thoughts, but I cannot.. I can't seem to ignore my 'spiritual' side and live with the mentality of those around me. It's not that I think I'm better or anything.. It's more like an undefinable pull or perhaps my brain chemicals are out of whack or something.
