As You have added neither a question mark, nor an exclamation mark, I am uncertain whether your statement is a question or an exclamation.

And I, a 70 year old Australian from North Queensland ask, "Please clarify what you have just said and explain, "What is the form that you refer to, and what is it, that the said form is following?'"

I’ve been struggling for years trying to find a belief system that sits comfortably with me. I wasn’t brought up to go to church, so as far as religion goes, I was left to make up my own mind. However, after many attempts of trying out different churches and also Buddhism, I’m still left searching for something much broader. Its an ongoing quest.

Try Meister Eckhart. His works can help you decipher the coded language of the bible.

I think belief is a way for us to try to explain the big question, WHY are we here? A child keeps asking why, and as an adult I also can't help wonder, why is it the way it is? Why is the universe structured this way? We do know that everything, the entire universe, including you and me, are all related. But why? I don't think we can make any sense of it yet. We should just keep playing detective.

I think the most important discovery so far is LOVE. We're all connected. we have to love everything else in order to love ourselves We're unique and individual like cells, but we function as one. And the action of reconciliation, with each other and through prayer seems like a good and reasonable way to exercise that belief in oneness.
