Objective

Naturally, I am not a religious person. No specific religion has ever resonated with me, and that's my goal, to find one that does, or at least comes close. I have a hard time with organized religion, and fitting myself into a certain category, labeling myself as this or that. I would very much describe myself as a free spirit, and I am okay with that.

This is simply a test for my own curiosity...I am not exactly searching for where I belong. Growing up with a Persian father who was converted from Islam to Christianity by an extremist, and an apathetic mother who considers herself Agnostic, I did not know who I was and had a yearning for discovery, so I could understand the world a little better and become more familiar with what faith actually means. The idea of indoctrination never really set well with me. So here is my beginning. I start with Buddhism and what intrigues me most about it - meditation. I am grateful to have landed an interview with the famous Dalai Lama.
