I'm only just becoming comfy with my own concept of faith as I'm edging closer to 60. I've had a couple of out of body experiences at times of extreme stress and having a conscious awareness of watching yourself from a space far above your own body raises all sorts of questions about where "consciousness" is situated. Given that my background with "religion" has been complicated I put aside alot of this for years but in last 4 or 5 have been deeply exploring more the quantum understanding of our makeup and finding myself feeling more embedded into surety around having a higher consciousness that is part of something much bigger than me. It's bringing me much comfort when previously it's all felt too much (religion divided my family when I was younger,). I don't think you'd be alone Jane in wrestling or grappling with answering this question esp when not expecting it at that time. I've usually taken a neutral stance for years trying to be mindful of others maybe alternate views whilst striving to fully understand my own fluid opinion but now I feel more solid and accepting of my own internal experience it no longer fills me with angst.

Great expression that articulates exactly how I feel "I said that while I was not a believer although I have always been a seeker". Thank you.
