re #8 i have read about 3 random pages and it seems most people have been raised a particular denomination and then become agnostic or drift away from their original religeous upbringing. not all but at least a large number/%. i think this is significant and relates to new types/levels of consciousness. perhaps early aquarian "agers" after pisces 2000 odd years expires. religion is piscean.

Finally, someone who can relate... no joke, you are the very first person whom I have ever discussed this with, thank you for being here, now
I've always been called towards the belt stars (Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka)... don't know why, can't explain anything other than the way I feel, and doing that is a challenge in and of itself, you know?

I actually know of two others on ATS (siblings) who along with their father feel drawn to Deneb (Alpha Cygni). They're of the opinion that perhaps stars are the "gateways" through which souls enter and leave the universe, so they feel like our homes. But maybe they're just our homes' "front doors." Or maybe we're all just nuts. Or maybe...
I don't really subscribe to the Gospel of Judas' authenticity, but in it, Jesus reportedly says, "Each of you has his own star" and "Judas, your star has led you astray." So maybe there's some truth to it. But who knows...

Hmm. The girdle, the pearls, and the belt. The Spanish call them "The Three Marys." Ancient Christians consider them the Three Wise Men... I'm leaning towards Alnilam as being yours; all "home stars" I've heard of seem to be variable ones. Alnilam and Deneb are even the same kind of variable. Mira's a different kind. Alnilam's expected to go supernova soon though... It sounds so silly writing all this down...

Now I call myself agnostic. I sense there's something more, but I don't think I'm capable of understanding its nature.
Does this make sense? It's kinda hard to explain.

That's really ironic...my fiancé does the exact same thing with looking at Orion (he is an Aquarius). I, on the other hand, have always looked in the opposite direction...towards Ophiuchus whenever he is visible in the sky...and whenever I found out that I had been born under Ophiuchus instead of Sagittarius, I was absolutely shocked.
Crazy, crazy stuff, indeed.

Maybe you're right! That's a really intriguing theory.
I Googled the Gates of God and Man. Apparently, people have/had believed that the soul left Heaven through the Gate of Man to come to Earth to inhabit the body, and the soul left Earth and returned to Heaven through the Gate of God when the body died. If anyone has any more info on these, it would be interesting to hear what you know.
