Not...Just visited the group, and they seem New Age. Not a big strike against them, but my vision of what might be called spirituality is wanting to experience paradise in this life. I started awfully late, I know. I was distracted by tortures such as trying to win a poetry ms contest. And now this huge psychological shift toward "paradise here and now." <br /><br />This is where agnosticism helps. I'm using the softer term, but it seems to me that agnostics lean to the position that there is nothing after death -- and if there is something, it will be a wonderful surprise (just having consciousness of any sort would be magnificent). But the surprise is not likely, so we better concentrate on this life, and seek and build paradise right here.orianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04209366167129773052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760986403290352152.post-51201771489945083962011-06-15T17:29:46.387-07:002011-06-15T17:29:46.387-07:00Oriana, I'm forwarding this to the Endless Jou...Oriana, I'm forwarding this to the Endless Journey Facebook group.John Guzlowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13052735138993479204noreply@blogger.com
