That positive energy you feel from nature is something that is emphasized a lot in the religion. If you spent a bit more time in nature, you'll notice certain beautiful patterns. These patterns are signs from God.
No ruh they are NOT "from god/allah/yahewh/ jeebus/ Odin/ thor /zeus/ aphrodite or any of the other 2000 gods mankind has created.
I think there have been many scientific studies that have covered the neuroscience of the feelings you describe.
It's only in your own head...the mind is a wonderful tool for deluding the uneducated and unwary.
I happen to love the City of Sydney...so what?? I love the Snowy Mountains and the Pacific Deep Ocean...big bloody deal! These are just things that I love...nothing to do with a deity or any other judgemental imbecile.
