Are you a spiritual seeker? If you are then it is a strange state to be in.
I used to be a spiritual seeker. I cannot remember making a choice to be one. Spiritual seeking appeared to be an instinct that started when I was a teenager.
I was bought up a Christian and became a bell ringer at my local church when I was 14 years old. After I rang the bells on Sunday morning, I used to sit in the church and listen to the sermons. I often heard the words soul and spirit in the sermons, the prayers and the hymns. I began to ask myself the questions:
- What is the soul?
- What is the spirit
I suppose this was the start of spiritual seeking. The church did not seem to have the answers to these questions, so I left Christianity and turned to the East whose message was:
‘You have a soul and a spirit and through spiritual practices you can experience what they are.’
