I have defined it. "I don't know".
I can give you history:
Raised Methodist (be nice, don't do evil, people of good
conscience will have a pleasant time. No devil, hell or any of
that growing up).
But my grandmother was into Edgar Cayce (an American Mystic) and
believed a little in ancient aliens, watched Star Trek and
Doctor Who (and got me into them as well).
My mother fed us yogurt.
I didn't follow my grandmother in her Theosophy stuff, and she
was barely into it anyway, just a little.
Teenager: Got a job as custodian for my methodist church. I was
there 7 days a week cleaning up the garbage.
One day, age of 14, I looked around and said, "This place needs
more candles".
Flash forward, experimented with Bahai, Unitarian Universalist,
Quaker, and then, JUST before almost going Roman Catholic
(because I had a computer job at a Catholic University and
enjoyed arguing with the priests-in-training about
meaning-of-life questions), I opened up the Yellow pages on my
lunch break and found something called "Eastern Orthodox".
Never heard of it before then. I was about 24.
Anyway, ended up getting into it. Stayed in a monastery for a
very short time and even made it my retirement plan.
Then, by 30, was bored with it, started a business, and got into
Science and theoretical physics study hard-core in my spare
time, after a brief stint with Osho who was fun 'cause he was
basically, "Don't be an asshole, have fun with your life", which
reminded me of the stuff I grew up with as a Methodist.
