When Julia Hill was 22 years old, she was nearly killed in a car accident. This life-threatening experience inspired her to set out for the Far East in a spiritual journey.
In her words, “A steering wheel slamming into my skull in a car wreck in August of 1996 steered me in a new direction and said, “ There’s got be something more.’ And I went in search of that.”
She discovered some people trying to prevent the logging of the great red wood forest in California. She had made a decision in her heart to do more than what society tells her..what her parents taught her. During this journey she got a turning point in her life.
What things are most desirable thing? How do I have to live my life? These are always philosophical subjects. I think there is no answer but we shouldn’t give up to trying to find a real value.
I was just a working girl for 10 years, and also I was a Sunday Christian. Everyday I woke up at 6am and worked until midnight, and every Sunday I automatically went to church. One day I had a religious experience, and after that I read the bible continually. My outer circumstances were not changed, but my inner most part was different than before. These days I work as I did but now I have a way to go within to God. I always needed something like music, books, movies..to fill my heart. Now I like them, but there are not necessary things for me. I can enjoy in God’s peace without music, movies, books...
