Is your unitarian church very nondescript? Every one I've seen is just a plain metal building with a couple windows, if that.

Interesting...

So what exactly do you "do" there? At least at yours.

Personally I'm an atheist, and I'm comfortable with it because I don't need anyone giving me a set of guidelines to tell right from wrong so I think all religion and New age stuff is woo.

I find depression is alleviated when you lead an active lifestyle, exercise and having a family does wonders.

I can only speak for myself ofcourse, but if Buddhism makes you feel good and you're not harming anyone else, absolutely go for it.

Walter: You mean... beyond pacifism?

I like reading deep new-age occultism/philosophy texts because there's so much density to everything they say. I spend a few hours most months at the theosophical society bookstore in the centre of melbourne. I remember taking a friend that's a medical student there, and he got lost in the medicine section for hours - he wasn't expecting to find actual medical books in an occultist store lol.

The thing I like most about new age spirituality is that the values it dictates could serve as the basis for 'our new world', and not in the sense of a new religion - just ideas that unite us (in a similar way to how a salute to a flag or something like that unites a people). The UN has adopted a lot of Alice Bailey's ideas - notion of one world, etc, etc,.

Well, almost all the new age books I've bought you can get legally for free online. I just... don't like reading e-books.

Princess Diana was a 'new ager', so I'm proud to be. ;)
