Dear List,

Ten people have replied to this poll so far.

 To the Question: What religious
visions/associations/symbolisms/patterns/motifs, etc. have
 been part of your K awakening?

Surprisingly, to me, animal and water motifs were prominent, with 3 people
mentioning visions of snakes. One person mentioned being visited by a Druid,
and another mentioned sacred sites. Instructions to read other religious
literature was mentioned by one person; spiritual fairytales mentioned by
another.
 
Q: Did these reflect the religion of your upbringing (or your pre K religion)
or
 did they reflect other religions or philosophies?

Four people said they were brought up as atheists or had no firm religious
beliefs during their upbringing, and three others wrote that their religious
beliefs had already undergone changes while growing up. On the whole, the
visions were totally unrelated to the religions that people were "born into."
 A born Hindu had a vision of a Druid. Born Christians had visions of
snakes. Born Christians also experienced religious associations as diverse
as Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist, Zoroastrian and Islamic. Water symbols were
mentioned twice. Pantheistic type dreams were fairly common.
 
 Q. Did these experiences influence a change in your religion?

Almost everyone had a change in how they *viewed* religion. Comments ranged
from their beliefs as being "less rigid" to the spiritual experience being
the "antithesis" of religion. People generally saw religion differently, or
now "understood" religion. The idea, "The mystical is the root of Truth the
same to all religions.." or "I found it to be the same human spiritual
process in every religious
venue," seems a common theme.

I'll include various comments in final results.

Any more replies? Thanks everyone :))

Love, Hillary
