Wow. I'm pretty staggered.

Maybe we should stop differentiating between those who believe in a personified god, and those who are anti-religion, e.g. Richard Dawkins. The world is not split into black and white like this, nor is the Truth IMHO.

I have been working on regaining my own spirituality. I have been meditating, even concentrating on other beings/vibrations/whatever you want to call them as per the instructions of a reiki master. I ask my guardians to stand by me and help me clear my aura. I call on something the reiki master calls the gold/violet/white fire of the archangel Zadkiel. I don't know what's going on there and I don't think it really matters, but I can feel it working and it's powerful and wholesome. I am attuned to reiki myself and I can call on the love and life of the universe to flow through me. I'm aware of different vibrations, spheres of consciousness, and possibly even different dimensions. Maybe science will discover these one day, but for the time being they seem real enough to me. My mistake for a long time was writing them off as imagination.

Does it make them any less real if I don't call them God and angels? No. My route to getting at the Truth is different from yours but I hardly think it deserves the aspersions you are casting on it. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a Dawkins-style atheist, and it has to be said that people generally do not perpetuate hate, intolerance and bloodshed in the name of atheism. There's nothing wrong with people dropping the swords/guns and trying to understand and learn from each other.
