My parents believed in god, but weren't churchgoers. I went to the Salvation Army from the age of 3, with my big brother, a musician in their band. When I went to school, I went to an Anglian church, and at the age of 10, with the encouragement of a youth worker, I became a Christian - and I remember I cried because the whole experience was so overwhelming for a little girl. I continued to go to church, and my best friend was Roman Catholic, so she and I often went together to both churches just to keep each other company! As a teenager, my school friends gathered regularly at my house where, led by my dad, we would debate every subject on earth (we were a pretty academic bunch), and as I grew I read all sorts of literature, including theories that the gods of ancient texts were in fact people from more advanced civilisations. With my Christian belief, initially I found the idea blasphemous, shocking - and frankly ridiculous, but I've always had an insatiable curiosity, and have never refuted different ideas without first considering them, so I read on. Convinced that I would easily discredit these theories, I checked every single biblical reference given, but no matter what angle I looked at it from, I couldn't dispute the idea - and no one was more surprised than me! It made perfect sense - and it still does. Like Luna, I've seen a ghost, and a UFO, and I've had experiences that afford no rational explanation. I've travelled the world, seen other cultures and other religions and I've come to the conclusion that spirituality exists, but it's not to be found in books, buildings, or, most importantly, in other men's words - it's far bigger than any of those things. Spirituality is within us and all around us. To my mind, the only religion that touches on the truth is Buddhism.
