How did you start on your spiritual path?

my spiritual path started when i was very young. i have always been a lover of God's gifts. i used to yell at my mom at the age of four for killing spiders in the house because "they are God's creatures" at the ages 4 through 13 everynight falling asleep was meditation for me. (though at the time i didn't know it was called meditation) i would talk openly to God about my thoughts on life. the things i liked and disliked. occasionally i'd ask for things in particular, but for me it was more about getting in touch with some"thing" i distictly remember closing my eyes and flying through the universe at speeds of light past stars and comets and large bodies, astroids... it was that or i would have the sensation of getting smaller and smaller until i felt like i was the size of a needle point resting on my pillow. these experiences provided me with the concept of my smallness in comparison to the universe and yet gave me the confidence the God's power with in me could do anything, even race at the speed of light (or faster) through the many galaxies. i've mostly always had a very stable sense of self and my place with this universe and God. i lost all that to the power of my dissorted ego at some point. since then to about 3 years ago i'd been complacent in that sort of distortion.  and the beast of the mutated ego is one tough guy to get rid of now. a situation of complete solitude and repreive of all my obligations would help greatly in the battle. but i can't even conquer the beast with-in enough to get there. i guess the lucky part is, i remember exactly how i felt when i was younger. so there's a feeling to work towards that can lead me on this expedition... anyway... my whole life has been a spiritual path. there's no other path. just some people don't realize it.
