As far as I know we don't have a centre here, where I'm from unfortunately anything other than Christianity is barely heard of. I'm not particularly religious but I do believe in Secular Humanisn, though I'm not sure if you can even say that's a religion.

Maybe you do and maybe it's treatable. What I can say, however, is this:<br /><br />Most of what's on your list is very familiar to me, both in terms of personal experience and what I've seen in people I know. My ex and I talk about this sort of thing frequently. It seems to be common among people who are:<br /><br />1. Highly intelligent.<br /><br />2. Existentially aware (people we might call 'truth seekers.')<br /><br />2. A bit rebellious - by which I don't mean wildly rebellious, but the sort who naturally resists being forced between the culture's tram lines.<br /><br />Do you have a Buddhist centre nearby? I'm not suggesting you become a Buddhist (far be it from me to suggest the taking up of religion!) but I've seen how Buddhist practice can calm people down and become more centred (although it also prompts more endless questions, which I suppose is a bit ironic.)<br /><br />I assume it will be OK if I follow your blog and keep an eye on how you're doing.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069822009799120415noreply@blogger.com
