ummmmm??? I want to say yes - but i dont know now actually.
I think where i was, i dont know if i valued much of anything ???
I'll say yes - i valued those things before my experience.
What i think the real question is, is could this experience be made up by my mind?? a delusion ??
the answer is yes. I dont believe that - but it's possible.

it gave me hope.

i saw jesus and that changed everything for me.

it sounds like a simple question to answer, but its not - it's really difficult to answer haha

Do you hold any other spiritual or new age beliefs, in addition to your belief in jesus-not-christ? Or... is this a one off, based solely on that experience?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
