I was thinking that a lot of posters in this thread are rather active and dedicated in exercising their spiritual concerns.
Personally I am not an active seeker. The questions that I sense tend to present themselves rather than be the product of a quest or directed inquiry. The answers are not demanding so much as allowing the background of That Which Is to be more approachable/appreciable to me.
There has never been an interest in formalized church going, except as an interesting place to hear stories and see culture in action. I have been told a time or two that I was one of the more spiritual and truly religeous people around, which is a bit odd to me what with not really feeling a need to involve myself in dialogue with the believers and the religeous folk.
But I am certain sure that life lived (whether typified by plants, bacteria or us human types) is incredibly important to the universe as a whole, and that the life lived is also such a small and focussed part of that whole. So I am actually excited about what I will return to when physically dead. And of course I am terrified of the pain and uncertainty that will accompany the release of life from my physical body.
