I like buddhism bar the karma as i believe it to be without foundation.
i think there is nearly always a higher state of consciousness than where I'm at.
even in enlightenment, there are complimentary states of consciousness.
i am interested in the idea of 'lila' and this life being a cosmic game or a dream but when i'm in pain- which is most of the time, i hate that idea.
i don't like doctrines as i was indoctrinated at a young age, first to catholicism and later to born-again christian. very rigid.
I know that i can think and feel and that i am a human being and the control i have over my thinking -about 5%- impacts how i feel -sounds obvious- but i find that we forget these things, i know i do.
any ideas i have or take in after that are creations, either of others or of others and I.
...back to the question. No, I am not non-christian, there is something to be found in all religions for me.
best wishes,
Cordelia
