I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

    I also underwent a shift from atheism and materialism (in reaction to my Christian upbringing) into a more syncretic form of personal spirituality. I’ve really taken to heart the idea (which i think I learned from Jodorowsky) that magic is a language which speaks to the unconscious, and so spirituality isn’t just comforting woo, but actually can shift beliefs and ideas, impacting behaviors and outcomes. I also think spirituality is vital to community and buidling better societies.
