Many of us become agnostic or lose whatever faith we had as we go through high school and/or college. The reasons are many. We are young, so death couldn't be further from our minds. There are just so many things we want to learn, experience, achieve and enjoy in life. Studies occupy our time. And of course, so many distractions, not the least among which are sexual thoughts and attractions. In my own case, I also discovered the lure of science ~ it just seemed that science could explain everything, given the chance and sufficient time. In other words, science
became my little god. In general, scientists are divided into two camps: those who believe that there is no God and those who believe that there has to be a God. So, in those years, I got by all right, even though deep down I could still sense that void there.
By the way, I would like to mention that I decided to join the secret Rosicrucian Order, headquartered in San Jose, CA, hoping to learn some ancient wisdom. After a couple of months I withdrew my membership, because the teachings just didn't mean much to me. I also studied self-hypnotism to tell myself that I would always feel happy, but the effect usually lasted at most a couple of weeks each time. What things we wouldn't try when we are lost?
