Why do/don’t you believe in god?

I used to be agnostic, never really had enough evidence for any religion that could overwrite evidence from another. That was until my dad started to show me things and say things he couldn't know at all without physically being there. From what I can remember and in chronological order, the events that transpired before he told me everything.

I was 13, I took something of his after he left for work (he had dozens so he couldn't notice one disappearing) and I showed my friends. Put it back before he got home and he asked me if my friends thought it was cool. I hadn't told him about it and I was completely surprised but he simply said that the spirits told him.

When I was 15-16 we were driving home on the highway and he told me the future. He said the car in front of us was going to the beach and the people would get on a boat and sail away. We followed them and they did exactly that. There was nothing special about the car but he knew. He told me later he was in the Oneness which is really difficult to explain in under 300 words.

When I was 17 I started doing meditations with him as my guide. These are to get me to experience this shift, to put my brain into a different mode so I could access the spirit world. I would feel my consciousness move from my brain to my heart. Although this hasn't happened yet, mainly due to because I haven't meditated in a long time, I am returning to it tomorrow.

I've had visions throughout my life (deja reve?) and have been able to predict things moments before they happen. I often find myself on my phone just seconds before I get a text from one of my closest friends. Just the other day I was thinking about saying knife like kuh-nif and then that same friend sent me "Knife (kuh-nif)" and I hadn't said anything about it. I suspected she had a strong "Inner Vision" at the time.

Throughout all this I have come to describe myself as a pagan simply because it is quicker and easier than saying "Native American spirituality, monotheistic, shamanistic, animistic." I came to see this as the truth, I believe Tom Brown Jr's claims about it and that Stalking Wolf was his teacher and that since Stalking Wolf's death no one has been as powerful as he was.

TL:DR There's weird things, I see them as truth, I'm just a pagan who found his calling.
