how do i spirituality

how does one even figure out who to venerate

@typhlosion Mine picked me. It was super weird as I was an atheist.

@typhlosion @Fuego Occasionally weird shit happens that can cause us to look at the links of synchronicity and say, "whoa, that's weird." Next couple of times that happens, don't say "weird." Ask who might be trying to get your attention.

Failing that, ask yourself what you want out of a more spiritual experience, and seek out traditions that try to provide that. More answers? Less guilt? Deeper joy? What's the goal of the seeking?

@literorrery @typhlosion Yeah - I guess thats like saying "Start listening" ;)

Pay attention to those synchronicities - maybe they orbit something unseen.

@literorrery @Fuego i've noticed some stuff like that when doing worldbuilding - i'd write something about the world, then notice later that it is uncannily consistent with something else i'd written months or years ago and forgotten about

maybe that doesn't relate?

@typhlosion @Fuego That's what's called a motif. It's significant insofar as it "keeps showing up." You're primed to notice when it does, so you do. That's part of the secret.
