I'm pretty new to talking about spirituality and faith with other people, and I'm still figuring out how to communicate my understanding with others. I think places like Threads are interesting places to learn about the practices and understandings of other people, because they help clarify what resonates and what doesn't in my own belief system. It helps winnow all the assorted impressions, perceptions, beliefs and ideas down to the set that align with my own personal experience & knowledge. 1/
