Well I'm afraid I just jumped right into discussions without realizing this forum topic.
Some of you already know my ideas and opinions, so I think I'll just try to describe where I'm coming from and my areas of greatest interest.
First, scientific investigation of all things spiritual is of huge interest to me, especially as we are in a time when these areas of discourse seem to be complimenting each other more and more.
I do not follow any exclusive doctrine. I consider my path my own, and in the spirit of Theosophy, as I understand it, I seek knowledge and light in all the great wisdom traditions, and the ultimate authority is never a result of somebody else's claims, unless my own investigation and judgement leads me to the same conclusions. So I recognize truths in most traditions, but do not believe any one traditions is perfect.
I believe in God as Consciousness, and that life and all matter, when broken down, is made of the same stuff, just different vibrations of the same energy. So 'God', to me, is pure, non-dual awareness, and as such, manifest creation is how God, or Spirit, becomes conscious of itself, to put it simply.
Lastly I'll just say that I feel very at home in this community and am inspired by all the discourse I've had just in the last 48 hours. I'm so glad to meet you all!
