For all my friends and contacts, do you know important you are to me?
I am currently 3 hours from home, scared and feeling very lonely. I've passed out twice in the last hour, and am waiting for a friend to take me to the hospital. I know that I'll get a violation notice if I ask to be in your thoughts and prayers and whatever else you might believe. So instead, I thought I'd take a moment to let you know that my time here has been amazing (so far), and that each of you has had a part in helping me on my journey.
Now, to make this a real question, who, other than the people on Y!A, and other than the God or Messiah of your choice, has had the greatest impact on your spiritual growth and development?
Blessings!
Thank you all for the great answers, and e-mails. I wasn't really thinking when I posted this, but I still got a great response.
After many hours at the hospital, nobody knows what is wrong with me. There is some idea that it was psycho-sematic (sp?) because I had very recently said that I wouldn't mind having a NDE, but,of course, the docs are certain there is something they're not seeing. More testing to come, but I feel fine now! I hope to post the whole story to my blog, as it is rather odd, and all of you are welcome to read and comment (I'll post after work today, so not for a few hours, I think).
Thank you all for your kind words and sincere answers. Except, I have never gotten to a page with an answer that was hidden from my view for having too many TD's, when I hadn't TD'd it. Wow - I had no idea that could even happen!

You seem like a very interesting individual, so get well! More open minded people, like you, are needed in this world.
Now to make this a real answer, my brother steered me to some books that helped me immensely. I had been searching for a connection with God and had been sadly disappointed with what Judeo-Christianity was offering and had just about given up. I was just going to be agnostic and stop trying to make a closer contact, feeling that I had some defect that kept me from divine communion. I had always thought wouldn't be great if witches were real and magick was real then as my brother was making his spiritual search he ran across the Wiccan faith. Through his suggested readings and my experience I finally felt the "Divine light". Now I know what all the Christians were talking about I just needed to see that my path to the divine was through the Goddess. My connection had enriched my life beyond all I could have hoped for and magic is a part of my everyday life now. Thanks for listening, blessed be.

I hope by the time you get home from the hospital you will be feeling a bit better and have had some rest.
I hope it is not serious - the people who have had the greatest impact on my spiritual growth and development where the people along the way who took the time to listen to me, teach me and inspire me.
Be they friends, teachers, my parents, total strangers, a co-worker, whatever, they were and are part of the fabric which my life has weaved together. Where would I be without them along the way teaching me with kindness, love and respect.
Take care, okay?

We all need each other and so many times people are old and shut ins and some just forgotten.
This is a place we can talk to others and find out how others believe and tell them why we believe the way we do.
I am so sorry you are sick and feel alone, that is a terrible feeling. Also, remember God is not far off from each one of us and he is as close as a prayer.

I am not one of your contacts - yet. But I felt compelled to answer anyway.
You will be in my thoughts and prayers all this day. I hope everything will be alright for you.
To answer your question - I am Wiccan. Silver Ravenwolf has been the greatest impact, as her books catapulted me onto this path. Though all of the fellow students and teachers in my celtic tradition have been vital to my growth and been so kind and helpful to me on my journey.
Blessed Be!

I hope you are doing ok now! *hugs*
The greatest impact on my spiritual growth was that I didn't have to belong to a religion.
- Anonymous1 decade ago
I'm hoping for you!
My greatest spiritual influence has probably been my Dad. He inspired me to begin my spiritual search in the first place.

Forgive me, you don't know me, but I went to your Blog & got a blessing of my own when I saw the video of Andrew on Am. Idol. What a voice!
Thanks for sharing. <><
