My investigation, no.
I haven't really investigated much to be honest, just tried to in the last 6 years.

Now my experiences are another matter. They have all but destroyed my loose religious beliefs but offer some sort of frustrating spiritual alternative that I have to accept. I say frustrating because I think in a way the simplified religious beliefs are pretty satisfactory or at least soothing where as the other is a bit more complicated and takes a lot more work but not in the sense of kneeling and praying and going to church on Sunday. It takes you changing your mind about everything you think you know.

Bad guys punished. Good guys rewarded. That was the simple way.
Well...it's not quite that simple from what I understand.

What bothers me more than anything is that the whole world is based on lies. I mean if you deceive people...even if it's for their own spiritual benefit (or not) it is still a lie. God as I thought existed...does not, and there are levels and degrees. There ARE many of what we would call Gods (or had at one point) and there are many paths.

One being attempted to explain this but even still it makes little sense to me considering that "I am above you, yet below God" doesn't fully explain how they got there and why they are here.

Let me put it this way...and this is just from my own experiences and nothing meant to step on anyones feet...God does not answer prayers. God isn't even anything close to a being you can sit and chat with nor does it care about your sins or good deeds. The people that WORK for a higher understanding do. They answer your prayers.

God is just an expansive consciousness of love.

There is no hell other than the one you're standing in and in order to leave you simply have to want to leave.
