My school RI teacher when I was 11. She told me (what iv ealready printed a few times on this site, i just feel i should share it) that religion is like a mountain with God at the top. There are many paths up that mountain, each looking different, but theyre all just part of the same mountain. Hows that for influence on a developing mind?

George Harrison.\n\nHe always had such a spiritual aura about him.  Just listening to his work puts me in such a peaceful place.\n\nRIP George.

What an imaginative question.\n\nMy guardian angel is working overtime to ensure I am blessed.  I am healthy, have my basic needs met and have the choice to follow my heart.

I agree with JOHN, when ALL IS SAID AND DONE HOW WE WOULD MEASURE SUCCESS WOULD BE DETERMINED BY OUR CREATOR AND HOW WE HAVE MET ARE RESPONSIBILITIES TOWARDS HIM. did WE KNOW HIM? DID WE FURTHER OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. ARE WE DOING WHAT HE WANTS NOW.

It is okay if you think I am nuts but here goes.I talk to God by prayer, sometimes silently and sometimes outloud. God talks to me occassionaly at His time frame, In other words I don't have to be in a prayerful or spiritual mood for Him to speak. I cannot explain it but when He speaks to me, it is not silent in my head and it is not audible so that others can hear it but it is clearly audible to me.So yes, I have a relationship with Him. I also can feel His prescense in my life.Look to John 8:47,& 10:26-30 Jesus stated my sheep hear my voice and they know me(Jesus) and follow me. God may not communicate with everyone the same as He does with me but if you do not hear His voice in some manner then you don't know Him. My relationship with Him indeed started out as faith but you are correct in the change that takes place. I cannot prove this relationship to anyone but to me it is fact. You can not achieve fact without first having faith.

I believe that we all have angels and spirit guides with us at all times.  They are here with us, just in the spiritual dimension, just waiting for us to call on them for assistance.  I call upon them and thank them for their assistance everyday.  I also invite them into my thoughts, as they will not interfere without permission.  Invite your angels and spirit guides to be part of your life and you will be amazed at how much easier your day to day living gets.  I thank God everyday for my life and everything in it.  Along with that I also ask my angels and spirit guides, provided by God, to assist me with whatever I need to make life smoother.  Even things that seem small like finding something that is lost, or finding a good parking spot or freeing up traffic, or I might "hear" them in the form of a thought or gut feeling to do or not do something, such as an unwise lane change in traffic.  Good things constantly happen to me at work so that I end up with the easy/enjoyable jobs.  All you have to do is ask.  I have never seen them physically, because in order to do so, they would need to slow their vibration down to our level, which is difficult.  But I have no doubt that if I needed them, they would be there for me.

Tough question!\n\nLike a couple of people before me I would have to go with the Dalai Lama because of his spirituality.  Nelson Mandela with his forgiveness and lack of bitterness would be a very close second though.

I have much respect for those following that path.  I like their loyalty to keeping their oaths, their tolerance for other religions, the depth of their studies, and the close relationships that are built between members.  Although not the path for me, I enjoy spending time with my Wiccan friends and I always learn something new from them.

It depends, what kind of influences?

The influences of my religion to my personality are as follows:\n\n1) My religion help me to become or to strive to become a better person every day;\n\n2) My religion teach me not to give up in time of difficulties;\n\n3) My religion help me to become positive minded;\n\n4) My religion teach me not to be afraid of death [or dying] as after we died there is an afterlife which is better than the presence life.

As Pangel said, Helen Duncan. A true pioneer of Spiritualism\n\nI know a lady that sat with her and I was chatting with her last night and she was telling me how fantastic her physical mediumship was.

All of us are influenced by demons. We cooperate with them every day. I know it sounds goofy, but it's true. Pride is a big one. Vanity is another. We each have a guardian angel (given to us at baptism) that will protect us if we ask for help with prayers. Full demonic possession is another animal, but truly, spiritual warfare is active all around us, regardless of whether we believe it or not.
