Religious practices and texts all over the world have terrific cultural values. You never have to let go of the ideas of an open and loving heart. Best part about shrugging off the idea that your belief system must be exacting swallowed whole is how big your world is now.

Now you get to feel the same compassion and curiosity about folks on the other side of the planet, not just those in your insular sphere.

And now you can digest all the books and films you ever wanted to see without guilt. Siddhartha is a pretty fascinating exploration of Buddhism. You can see how a spiritual human inspired millions without any supernatural beliefs.

There are so many ways to feed your mind and heart. I'm excited and happy for you.
