Hey, my parents are Mormons. I don't want to be a Mormon. I am not interested in some other boring religion either, and in going to a church every weekend. On weekends I want my freedom, but I want to be spiritual. Can you help me, please?
Hey,
welcome to the forum.
Why do you want to be spiritual?
What is it inside yourself, which makes you think "I want to be spiritual?
Can you observe it?
What do you think "spiritual" means?
I have written an essay
viewtopic.php?p=22766#p22766
It is a kind of introduction to the spirituality of thinking.
If you have time you can read it and share your thoughts.
Kind regards.

To an
anthroposophist, Buddhism (and Eastern religions in general) were the "right way" in their time -- a couple thousand years ago. But human consciousness has evolved since then, and what was right then is not right now (not that it is completely wrong -- working on detachment and mindfulness is always good practice). Now we are (or can be) aware that human consciousness is evolving (individually and collectively), and that means it is up to us as to how it will continue to evolve. Hence, to an anthroposophist, the ancient religions, when practiced now, are seen as an attempt to jump to a final state ("one's true nature", "absolute Enlightenment", and so forth), escapism, rather than confronting the hard work of self-evolution.
One can indeed seem to make that jump, only it is not in fact final, or so I've read in medium accounts of the afterlife. Not that that proves anything, but is something to consider.
Buddhism is old and boring. Yes, I can feel that I am evolving evry day! I want to be a modern Anthroposophist!
Hey Girl 
Trust me, you
don't want to be an Anthroposophist.
Even though Buddhism is old, but it is
not boring.
Tibetan
Tantric Buddhism is a lot of fun!
Yes, the Dalai Lama of Tibet is old, but had he been even a bit boring, he would have not had attracted such a
young, beautiful, and sexy wife:
Look at her. Here beautiful seductive eyes are saying:
Let's do it one more time now, please!
Hey Girl, do you know what is
the secret of their deeply satisfying amazing relationship?

Yes, it is. Of course!
Would you like to have a spiritually advanced, mature, wealthy, loving husband, almost like the Dalai Lama, who would answer all your questions about the meaning of life, and make you happy forever after?

Well, because it is a secret, it would be best
when I explain it to you slowly,
over few long
private video chats. OK?
