Converting to Sikhism

Hello, I am Lenny, nearly 50, a poet, who has been gently directed to Sikhism by unseen forces! In short I am a novice

!!! However, from what I've seen through tired eyes I like what I see

, and would appreciate some assistance as what steps I should take to learn more about Sikhism. A brief bio:- on my path I have visited Christianity, Buddhism, Bahai, Theosophy and were I am now! I believe in reincarnation, humans return as humans, and animals also remain within their own breed. I firmly believe in Alien life forms from other planets and time dimensions. I meditate and I am a sensitive. I am happily married to a wonderful lady, Nikki, and we have a daughter. I am an activist and a conspiracy truth researcher. And finally, I adore laughter!

Lenny please take a look at some of the other threads in the New to Sikhism forum where you will find a lot of interesting information. We have another forum member, Lenny, who is a poet. Maybe you will get to know each other through discussions on the threads.

Here is the link New to Sikhism

u have already found that section if you are posting in Converting to Sikhism. But there are many threads in that section of SPN that can be helpful to newcomers to Sikhism

And my main argument is that a newcomer should not be jumping to the amrit stage until thoroughly aware and willing to accept the serious and heavy responsibility that goes with understanding Guruji's rehat. The rehats that define the code of conduct of a Sikh are precisely that - codes of conduct. Guruji's rehat is not a code.

Great point.

It would be strange someone who knows nothing about Sikh concepts immeadiatly takes Amrit.

It is like a 5 year old child doing a doctorate. He needs to get the basics before getting advanced.

IMHO, there are too may people with the appearance of Sikhs who run around preaching un-Sikh messages, and many preach Vashnavite Mat.
