Hello Everyone!
I would like your input about my journey.
I am very new to Sikhi. I have a distant background in both New Age and Christianity, but have been a truth seeker above all else for my whole life. I have always struggled to find a way of life/religion that matches the truth that I feel in my being. Sikhi, as I am understanding it, is partnering incredibly well with my understanding of truth. So I am reading SGGS, praying, and meditating daily. I am actively researching Sikhi on a daily basis, as well.
I am wondering if any of you either are, or have advice for, someone who is pretty much on their own Sikhi-wise. I currently live with my husband in a rural community of about 6000, and, as far as I know, all of the religious people here are Christian. My family is also Christian. The nearest Gurdwara to me is about 3 hours in to Canada (I live in the USA). I am visiting a Gurdwara next month, and have arranged to visit with someone while I am there. But as far as my day to day, or week to week, even, I feel like I am on my own out here. I sometimes fear hostility from the more conservative people out here, but that isn't a reason to turn away. Any suggestions for how to pursue a faith that no one in your community shares?
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
