I think you will enjoy this short spiritual piece that I read yesterday. https://medium.com/grab-a-slice/finding-our-life-spark-d0ca505a4ab0 The author is one of my favorite writers on Medium (he's no longer here--I think he passed away or had a stroke in March 2021). I've been going back through his entire portfolio recently to ground myself back in my spiritual journey (my journey is summarized here https://medium.com/about-me-stories/my-journey-spiritual-and-otherwise-9d5f6aca18ee )

My favorite quote on spirituality and religion is from Neale Donald Walsch's Conversations with God, Book 1 (which I read over 10 years ago and it is the only book of its kind I have ever read and I highly recommend it--just that one--no need to read any of his other umpteen books--no Dyer, Tolle, Hay, Brown, etc for me, (I do know that many of them have great messages)):

"Religion cannot stand Spirituality. It cannot abide it. For Spirituality may bring you to a different conclusion than a particular religion — and this no known religion can tolerate. Religion encourages you to explore the thoughts of others and accept them as your own. Spirituality invites you to toss away the thoughts of others and come up with your own"

Jodie Helms and Paul Patrick Garlinger write wonderful pieces about their relationship with Jesus outside of any Church's doctrine/dogma. Here's a recent one from PPG: https://medium.com/hageon/what-jesus-means-to-me-5510128fe5d2 You can find many in Jodie's profile. Jodie channels "archangels" and all of her stories are worth reading.

I also recommend this piece by Leah Castellon, one of the first I read on Medium and which I cite often in my essays, https://medium.com/@leahcastellon/which-religion-is-right-f0bd30e714a2 , in which she says:

"If there is one clear message that I feel I have learned on my path it is this: God is love and more expansive than I can wrap my brain around; His love is so much greater than I can comprehend.

With the diversity of the people on this earth, doesn’t it stand to reason that infinite love would provide a multitude of channels to access that source? I think so. For that reason, I will not adhere to any particular religion, but I will honor my personal journey and the paths of fellow earnest seekers."

I'll conclude with this link to a piece of mine that I put here in KTHT last year, if you or other readers are interested: https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/how-do-you-define-god-9898492eae9
