Ahhhh! Wonderful. I'm so glad you could receive my reply as I intended it.

I think there is a big difference between me and so many people here in Australia and in other so-called "Western" or "1st World" countries is that I have dived deeply into my own beliefs, pains and patterns. Most people don't know themselves very well. They don't know how much they've been brainwashed.

And they're very uncomfortable with challenging conversations. But I love digging into things that could help me grow and if the other person is too, then hallelujah!

Now, I must share, that I am not Christian. I consider myself "spiritual" as opposed to having faith inside a particular religion. But I happen to think that Jesus Christ was a pretty cool guy who had a lot of wisdom to teach us.

I also think that since my parents were brought up Catholic (which is very similar to Christianity) the term "God" feels pretty comfortable inside my brain. They did not raise us Catholic though; they taught us about many different things and encouraged us to ask a lot of questions! Overtime, I came to my own conclusion that there had to be something bigger than just my human experience.

So, forewarning: I use the label "God" interchangeably with The Universe, Source, The Divine, and other terms to point to the omnipresent, omniscient energy surrounding us.

But I am also 100% happy to have friends who speak to the same Energy Of Everything with different labels. I have friends on here who are Buddhist, Muslim, Catholic, and probably some kind of earthy-witchy types. To me, we are all the same: good people wanting to do good things on the planet, willing to be grateful for all that we have.

Haha. Hopefully, I haven't freaked you out. But... this is me, being myself and bringing you more honest conversations =)
