ghaaaa... a saviour outside of yourself? I feign to imagine it

your sentiment is so commonly echoed in the hearts and minds of many

I think by affirming your intentions you are on the very path to just that...
"spiritually indipendant" perhaps? ;)

perhaps by beginning to question your boundaries you are beginning to do just
that

oh my friend, but you are. In fact seeing you go your own brings me great
joy, in seeing others find their own way of relating to the "universe" I am
reminded of my own. Your own "God" is taking shape and form as you begin to
question and establish your own philosophy and spirituality. Independant of
belief systems we are still able to draw on the ideas and philosophies of
others without being "taken in".

but then even calling it such as the big convention would coneract it's
arbitrariness (hehe ok I'm no english major) nonetheless, what good can
labels do us for something as big (or as small) as life itself?

It was good reading your post Marraskuu (interesting name). I wouldn't label
you nearly as "lost" as so very many who follow only what is given to them
from others who often in no regards more "saved" or "found" than them.
There's that word "label" again.
Lots of Fun and Inspiration to you,
from Aaron it sounds great to learn new languages and
other cultures.. I want to start learning Japanese soon myself.. I love
Japanese arts
