Turning to spirituality?
Hi, I hope everyone’s doing well. I wanted to ask has anyone else been through this on their journey and how were they able to overcome it.
I grew up as a Muslim, when I left it I was very happy, I moved out to university and was able to live life the way I wanted. However I’ve been struggling a lot lately, I was able to turn to spirituality/witchcraft etc and it provided me with some sort of relief, however I realised that I’m not actually someone that believes in spirituality? I just felt as though I needed something, a higher power that would be able to provide me with a sense of relief from sadness when I was going through a hard time, that karmas real, people get punished for hurting others etc. since I’ve come to terms with not believing in anything at all, I’ve been struggling alot. My prior belief in spirituality was that people face rhe consequences of their actions one way or another, however how can that be the case if children ade getting hurt everyday and their perpetrators aren’t being caught or dealt with.
How do I overcome this? Has anyone else struggled with this? Turning to spirituality because you needed something sort of higher power, it being a better alternative to organised religion.
If so, is there any ex Muslim here that is spiritual or just thinks ‘Nahhh it’s all false’? How were they able to overcome the ‘spiritual’ phase as-well? Thank you :)
