- Time of past OR future Camino
- Some, and with luck, some more.
Hello,
I'm interested to know how you would define the difference between a spiritual or a religious experience on the Camino.
My reason for asking? Simple really, I can't put my finger on why I feel so strongly I need to take myself on this journey. I don't think it's simply to take a long walk or to be tested physically and mentally; I've had that all my life. Nether do I believe it's a longing to meet and make new friends; that happens every time I speak to or help a stranger.
I'm wrestling with this thought - "I know where I'll be starting from (StJPP) and I know where I'm going (Finnistere) but I don't really understand how I will know where the journey is taking me, or upon completion where it has taken me.
I've read lots of material including the thoughts of people on this forum and asked many questions of others, some of whom have been very certain in their answers although most have been contradictory.
What are your views and experiences?
Thanks in anticipation of helping me answer a very personally searching question.
