Question: I am so overwhelmed with spiritual growing. I have no formal religious background. Where do I start? I believe in a spiritual entity. And that we are all connected. I believe there was a man named Jesus that walked the face of the earth and was given information from god. I do not worship Jesus like Christians religions. I do not believe in an entity called the devil. I do not believe my Great Spirit would create such a thing. Answer: You don’t need a religious background to embark on this journey. It might even be an advantage not to have one. Your spiritual growth need not be an overwhelming experience. In fact, I would encourage you to take a light-hearted approach to your spiritual practice. At this point, don’t worry about trying to understand arcane theological positions on God and the devil. Your simple focus should be on knowing your own true nature. This is the essence of spirituality,--know thyself. A simple meditation practice will reacquaint you with your core being, and from that basic experience, you will be led unerringly on your way to all the knowledge, guidance, and further experiences you need on your spiritual quest. Love,rnDeepak
