Ok....

What are the spiritual laws? give me 3 or 4 spiritual laws, within which you seek truth....
And, what is the process of finding truth in the 'spiritual laws'? Does it involve no scepticism and no evidence at all? if so, how do you determine between the truth of one spiritual teaching and another?

I'd imagine these questions shouldn't be difficult for you to answer. If you asked me the same questions of science/'physical law seeking', I think I could answer them in complete detail, within a minute's of your request.

So what be it? please teach me about these spiritual laws and the truth seeking processes within these laws. I am genuinely interested.
Spiritual "laws" may not be an accurate way to describe them. There are many attitudinal keys though. You spot them as you read the bible. A lot of authors like Tozer and Oswald Chambers write of them and you find them occuring a lot in devotional materials.

I suggest looking at Wiggleworth's Standard to get some idea about them. There are certain basic attitudes that promote spiritual growth.

Wiggleworth's Standard explains that developing these key attitudes isn't really an analytical or intellectual exercise. So I'm not going to dig them up to list them. I'm just saying this so you're more aware that religious people do have their own ancient spiritual ways they follow.

So when you talk about 'seeking', you're referring to - seeking particular 'attitudes' (e.g. optimism/happiness) - rather than seeking truth?

Can you explain some of these attitudes? and how one goes about 'seeking' them out? I'm interested in hearing about it from you, and not through a book, so please stop referencing material. You are the self-proclaimed spiritual mama around here, no? Teach me something.

Re: The Age of Aquarius

Well I'm not going to teach you. I'm going to let Christ teach you.

Jesus Christ said we need to have a "babe spirit":

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.


The babe spirit is the place of yielding to God.

Matthew 18:3-4:

And he said: “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven."

With a babe spirit we can humble ourselves and become totally dependent on God. A child has an inward drive to learn. With all of our worldly knowledge we still have little godly truth. But if we acknowledge this to ourselves the drive to learn God's truth will come.

Re: The Age of Aquarius

Please note the picture of Aquarius holding a pitcher.

To some Christians this picture denotes the Holy Spirit getting ready to pour out some more of Her spirit on the world.
