Hello everyone! I am happy to be here. I am 26, going to be 27 in 11 days.
For most of my life I've always had a belief that God was real, but I never really got close to God. I was baptized as Roman Catholic but never went to church or a catholic school or even got serious with praying. I would occasionally pray here and there in life, but nothing else. I was more attracted to new age spirituality. First I was hooked into the Law of Attraction, then to Neville Goddard. I was obsessed with Neville Goddard. I thought he was the answer to all of my problems. I even began to read more of the Bible (since he uses it in his teachings).
But then about a week ago I had this sudden urge to stop everything. Stop reading Neville. Stop listening to Neville. Stop posting on Facebook groups and a subreddit dedicated to him. I don't know why, but I just stopped.
Since then I've been thinking about what my purpose in life is, what the meaning of life is, and how I can make my life worth living. Because I have always struggled with that, and thought going to new age would help, but sometimes I'd feel more lost than not. Sometimes I'd feel more disconnected from reality - especially with one of Neville's concepts which is "everyone is you pushed out". How could everyone in the world be myself pushed out when I am just one person? How can I really look at myself in the mirror and say that I am God? Isn't that blasphemy? It just felt off to me. I just couldn't understand it, and I suppose last week I had enough, and that leads to today!
So now I am on a mission. I am on a mission to get closer to God. I've been doing a lot of praying the last couple days and I feel it's working. I will continue praying, continue reading the Bible, and continue reading testimonials + engaging with people about God!
Thank you and God bless you all!
