- That the universe really exists
- That a conscious mind influences it
- That although my spiritual beliefs might require extending beyond reason and scientific knowledge, they will not ever require contradicting them
- That no matter how little I understand about the divine mind, He-She-It-or-They know all they need to and don't require my understanding or belief to operate everything as it ought to be done.
I am in the process of examining the world's various religious traditions to see if any fit with what I already know of my beliefs. I might find one that clicks for me. I might end up right back where I started as a child - "Jesus loves me; this I know. for the bible tells me so."
I expect what I'll probably find is that all of them contain a part of the divine revelation, but that in the end I'll have to be content with what little faith I have now.
