My name is Naya and my spiritual path started, well before I was born really, but in my memory it really took hold when I was about five. Something happened to me that made me question the existence of God and my purpose on Earth. I was attending vacation bible school and when I asked my teacher how she knew God existed she became angry and made me stand in the corner while the other kids played.
I didn't know what I did wrong, but I became absolutely certain of one thing. She couldn't tell me how she knew God existed because she wasn't sure herself, and if she wasn't sure then maybe He didn't exist. But I knew that there was something out there because I could feel it... it just didn't have the face of God for me.
I spent a lot of the next three years trying to figure out what it was I felt, and it wasn't until I saw Star Wars: A New Hope that it really hit me. In that movie Obi-Wan Kenobi talks about a thing called The Force, which he describes as an energy field that surrounds all living things. Suddenly it all made sense to me. I must have been feeling the Force! This was the true start of my spiritual path because it is what compelled me to look beyond what people were telling me I should believe.
