I remember in hospital, spending months in great pain, thinking, "the suffering is the resistance to pain, not the pain itself". I later started noticing buddhism more and thinking that it vibed with my realisations there. I resisted it, though, a bit. Eckart Tolle and Steve Pavlina were instrumental in breaking through my resistance.
I think though that I've had this faith in there being something "more" to life all my life. I've experienced unconditional happiness, and I knew without a doubt that this was the most important thing. Seeking, firstly through psychology and finally through spirituality, was just natural for me.
