Hello all and I hope everyone is having a great week. I felt guided to post on several subs today so here I am.
Some background info, my story is long but I'll try to summarize. I'm Unitarian Universalist, but I do identify as a Christian under that umbrella.
I've always been a very spiritual person and it has been a decades long journey to better understand God, the cosmos and my role in it all.
There have been a lot of changes in my life recently (I moved halfway across the world for one thing) and because I've had to make so many decisions, I've been
turning more and more to prayer. I find the practice of Ignatian discernment to be useful - what I do is that I surrender completely in prayer and if I experience
peace, essentially God approves and if I experience desolation (unease, worry, my body will shake in distress) I know that that is the wrong way to go.
A wise aunt of mine once told me that we also need our human wisdom, so I don't expect God to tell me what to wear, nor do I ask every little question. I tend to
trust my instincts and what guidance I have received in the past. I won't deny that it's been a long journey and it's been difficult to sort through all the
information I've read (hundreds of books, blogs, websites etc) to discern what is truth and what works. The short version is that yes I do believe and have
experienced matters of the spirit, but I'm also a scientist, so I seek to verify everything that I encounter and find.
Which explains why I am writing this post :) I've been using the method described above for a while now, and it seems to work, but some answers seem incongruent.
God works in mysterious ways, but yet He also works within the framework of creation - in that we still operate in a casual and physical world, and that free will
must be respected.
I would be the first to admit I don't know everything, so I am throwing this out here for discussion. How does one know you are guided? How do I ask questions that
will lead me in the right direction, to make the world a better place and live in harmony with spirit?
(My prayers are generally in this vein "Is it in the highest good to do such and such.")

“Birthing a New World”
Sunday, September 4, 10:50 am, Worship Service Livestream
For our annual Labor Day service, Rev. Millie Phillips celebrates a struggle that ebbs and flows, but has never died; the struggle for economic survival and dignity on the job. Playing off the multiple meanings of the word "labor," do we have the courage to do what it takes to give birth to " a new world from the ashes of the old?" Whatever the obstacles, increasingly, working people, especially young and marginalized workers, are rediscovering the power of union organizing and are putting the movement back into the labor movement.

Where does UU find its greatest spiritual depth?
I'm a preacher's kid from the Midwest living in Hawaii. I'm a member of a Friends Meeting and a Jodo Shinshu Buddhist temple, having been a member for about 50 years and 7 years respectively. I'm aware that spiritual depth can be elusive (or for that matter illusive).
Unitarian Universalism seems pretty unique in its theological agnosticism. Is it? Does anyone know if there are any other religions that are as non-dogmatic as UUism? Just curious.
I don't quite remember what got me thinking about this last night, but how many movies are there with characters who are Unitarian Universalists? Or that simply mention UUism?
I can only think of two off the top of my head. In Juno, the titular character mentions a classmate who apparently attends a UU church. And I'm also familiar with Raw Faith, which is a documentary whose subject is a Unitarian minister. Are there any others? Just curious.
A UU Minister answers the question (From 2009):
