"Not quite sure what you mean by spiritual development - if you mean generally learning to be the sort of person you want to be, I'm all for it. If you're talking about finding some sort of 'credo' to live by that someone's written for you, I suggest you go read some books on critical thinking instead."
Neither ;-) I've already worked through the former (with Evie contributing significantly by being there and listening) and in the latter I'm soundly theologically and philosophically grounded (try not being when your Mum used to be an Agnostic RE teacher).
What I wish to do now is contemplate my connection to the world, both the seen and unseen parts ... and by unseen parts I mean the power of nature and life. That may draw me towards contemplating the existence of Deities, Souls and so forth.
Actually, I think in replying to this I've had a revelation on why I find London uncomfortable - it's the lack of uncontrollable nature. Maybe that makes me feel disconnected or something ... like I said, I want to do a lot of thinking ...
