: us about a unique experience that changed or shaped your spiritual beliefs?
At the beginning I would not believe. I wanted nothing to do with the family rituals or with an abstract notion of god. I did not want to believe just as a habit. Faith has to be acquired. And in that context, pregnancy marked a turning point. As I was facing so many fears for the being growing in me, I gradually had a more concrete sense of the divine, the feeling that someone is watching over me, whom I could call God. From then on I began recognizing Its presence in every detail of nature or animals, in the force that pushes beings of all kinds to be alive.

What have been your main spiritual inspirations?
I come from a very traditional household, with a ritualistic form of worship, whereas I have never believed in rituals. So I have gradually found inspiration on my own, getting away from my religious conditioning and living Spirituality as a genuine act of faith.

If you were to be reincarnated, what would you like to be reincarnated as?
As a cat perhaps, I like cats very much.

If there was one question you could ask God, what would it be?
I would like to ask what makes some people more cruel than others, less tolerant of the rest of the world. I think of murderers, of rapists --- what makes them less humanlike. No scientist has ever been able to explain it by some genetic or chemical disorder.
