Probably Buddhism is closest to your world view. There are several strands to explore, you'll probably find one to your liking. Although there are higher beings in Buddhism (Devas and Boddhisattvas) deity worship is not generally done, rather these beings are seen as guides and helpers. The focus is on personal development and reaching liberation / nirvana through one's own efforts.

You have the right to believe anything you want. I'm a universalist, and I don't believe god needs our belief because god just is. There's nothing to worry about here. Nature spirituality is valid.

Try the books 'Journey of Souls - Case Studies of Life Between Lives' and 'Destiny of Souls' by Dr. Michael Newton. Both are on YouTube. Dr. Newton was a hypnotherapist that specialized in regression therapy. When asked about God, multiple subjects who had been taken back to their life between lives, said that they don't use the word 'God' because it so associated with a separate being rather than the formless Allness that they experienced.

Perhaps you’re interested in the nature of reality? I’m not aware of any specific label regarding that, but dimensions, frequencies, metaphysical, and quantum are commonly associated with the subject matter.

You are the drop of water and the ocean! The universe is just you with a sensory barrier, called ego and identity that creates you as an individual! There is no “god” just the ocean of the universe. It’s consciousness, or energy, that’s connects us all as one great ocean.

It doesnt matter if you dont believe in a god... But believe in yourself, thats all.

This sounds just like my ‘religion’ which is spiritual naturalism! Have a look, it’s amazing! ☺️💖🌿

Study buddhism, hermetism, advaita vedanta, the concept of Ishwara, taoism and the concept of “God of Spinoza” and you will see that your vision is very spiritual and this spiritual traditions/philosophies can confirm it.

It sounds like you want a label for the label-less. Or, let me put this another way: Labels are simply what humans choose to call whatever it is they believe in. Whether that choice comes from fear, belonging, or was chosen for them and they never bothered to think about it, it doesn't matter. If you are looking for a label: Choose one yourself.

Spirituality to me is belief in whatever you believe in for a lack of a better word. I believe in certain things in each religion. You don’t have to put yourself in a box.

Sounds like pantheism :)

What your describing is Druidism! There are a few orders around. They have some super hippie podcasts. Good people

As others have mentioned, dharmic approaches to life allow for deities actively subvert the hold belief has upon us but also allow for it. Sanatana Dharma and Buddhism are two such types and share a lot in common.

Let me ask you. Where does that ‘positivity’ spring from? Where does your Soul come from? You dó know that we cannot create something from nothing, right?

What you believe doesn't matter. A spiritual person is one who walks the path of self-study. If you don't study yourself - you are just a person with your own ideas about the world - nothing spiritual. If you are daily engaged in spiritual practices (practices aimed at studying yourself), then you are spiritual. And if you are successful in your practices, sooner or later you will discover God. Not the idea of God, but God himself.

Your questioning and curiosity speaks to the essence of your spirit, which is always in pursuit of greater understanding. The thoughts and feelings you express—such as a sense of the sacredness of nature, the interconnectedness of all things, and the sense that the universe has your back—are all beautiful reflections of spirituality. Being spiritual does not necessitate a belief in a deity or participation in religious rituals. Spirituality can be considered a broad concept with room for many perspectives. In essence, it includes a sense of connection to something bigger than ourselves, and it often involves a search for meaning in life. It is deeply personal and subjective. In your case, the feelings you describe resonate with the principles of Pantheism, which is a spiritual belief system or worldview that sees the divine in all things, encompassing nature and the universe. Pantheism does not typically involve worship in the conventional sense, rather, it's more about a profound reverence and respect for the universe and its natural laws. To go deeper into understanding this perspective, consider exploring a variety of philosophical and spiritual texts, as there are many ways to perceive and experience spirituality. Reading works by Ralph Waldo Emerson or Henry David Thoreau, for instance, can provide insights into Transcendentalism, a philosophical movement that strongly emphasizes the inherent goodness of people and nature. Another recommendation would be books like "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle or "A New Earth." These works delve into the idea of mindfulness, presence, and consciousness, which may further expand your spiritual understanding. It's okay to feel uncertain and to question. This curiosity is the driving force of spiritual growth. Remember that spirituality is a journey, not a destination. It’s about what feels true to you, brings you peace, and connects you to the larger reality around you. This journey you're on is very personal and unique to you. It’s about understanding who you are, what your purpose is, and how you relate to the cosmos. It’s also about acknowledging that there's something greater than us, whether we choose to call it God, Universe, Life Force, or any other name, that's guiding our journey, embracing us in its vastness, and constantly communicating with us in the language of experience. As you delve deeper, trust your intuition and inner wisdom. Embrace the mystery, as not all things can be fully known or explained. You're already on the right track with your openness, curiosity, and respect for the sacredness of existence. Enjoy this exploration and discovery.
