Growing up, the Beatitudes was very important. Methodist. But I saw my way through Baha’i, Vipisanna Meditation, Unitarian Universalist, Quaker, Episcopalian, almost became Roman Catholic but ended getting annointed into Russian Orthodoxy for about 6 years – a little time in a monastery (not much but enough to know I liked the lifestyle). Completely absorbed Eastern Orthodox theology. Ask me about Theosis and the Uncreated Light 🙂 After that, spent a year into Osho around 9/11 era, became “Mr Science” for 10 years after that, and the last few years working to reconcile all of these things and more. Influences growing up were Joseph Campbell, although I’ve gone past him and my flirting with ancient-aliens, Chariots of the gods was in the early 80s so by the time X-Files came out 10 years later, it was old hat so I didn’t watch it. So there’s a snapshot.
