So is it an atheist's imagination when they say they are spiritual?

All things are indeed possible! If one truly yearns for "Inner Peace", one must become a House of Prayer (Shantivanam). What is necessary?

1. A little bit of learning and a lot of unlearning... 2. A little bit of conditioning and a lot of de-conditioning... 3.

A immense amount of persistence and determination... 4. And most importantly, unshakable faith (Iman). Remember: "Can't, never accomplished anything." "Can, on the other hand is filled with determination, and can accomplished anything." "Keep on knocking, and the joy (Inner Peace) on the inside will eventually open a window and look out to see who's there." - Rumi Peace be always with you.

In sha'Allah al-hamdu lillah Salaams.

For you it might be; smoke some pot, sit in a lotus position out in a Japanese pond garden while speaking Buddhist Chants! For it a Christian it's being in the light which automatically brings that peace that passes all understanding!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
