Guest guest Posted April 9, 2005 Report Share Posted April 9, 2005 Hello to everyone I am new here and would first of all like to thank Umesh Sharma for the invite, I believe that it came for a reason and I hope that this will prove helpful. I am sure it will. I go by the name of Arkadia and I live in Canada. I am a student at University and am double majoring in both Religious Studies and Cultural Anthropology. I am going to just throw this out there as I find myself in a strange position. One I find myself in regularly. My deepest of concerns has always been in regards to my spirituality. I belong to no specific religion as I care not for the limitations and dogmas associated. I am a Gemini/Taurus (cusp) and find myself struggling between two worlds. On the one hand as I continue down the road of acedemia, I find that I sometimes think too critically and scholarly to the point where I am borderlined atheist as well as the complexities of living in this materialistic world. On the other hand I find myself inclined toward some form of deeply spiritual or even a mystical and ascetic path and feel like totally renouncing this material world. It is strange but ever since I was a young child I felt the pull to some form of monastic living. I don't really know what to do with this. I don't know how or even if I should find what it is that will help me over that threshold level into that deep mystery of spiritual union with the divine. I am at a crossroads. And I find myself coming to this same crossroads time and time again. For those who may be familiar with Tarot, I seem to be closely associated with the Hermit or the Seeker. Card 9. 9 is my numerological destiny or life path number. And a seeker is truely what I am. Before this becomes too long, I will just leave it at that and give you my information: I was born May 21, 1981 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada at 5:58 am Thank you again Umesh Sharma, I really appreciate this service you are providing for the people here, it is a wonderful thing. I wait eagerly for your reply. Arkadia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
