It was 2003 when i converted to god, decided to follow where he leads, studied spirituality and kaballah , etc...
After 12 years of sweat blood and tears i didnt acquire ANYTHING, well maybe except character and wisdom. Like i said not only i didnt have ANY of my dreams and hopes realized EVERYTHING was taken from me I lost everything important i had and more

That's too bad, I'm sorry to hear that. Losing everything to realize how poor one's soul truly is in this life, IMO, was a blessing.
What else have you read? I remember reading the things he said pertaining to these things. Please feel free to pm me, I would like to hear what you've learned, and your experiences.

I don't think you should blame anything other than yourself for not getting things done  "Dreams" require more than just getting on your knees and hoping for something to happen.

I think it's a tremendously positive feat when someone reaches the age of reason. I can see it wasn't easy for you, so extra kudos.
Might I suggest something that you'll find might ease your transition.
Sam Harris is a renowned neuroscientist, philosopher and advocate for a secular and rational society, he wrote a book called Waking Up: A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion which you might find more up your alley. I recently bought a copy myself. You might like to run a quick google or youtube search on him. (:

so you didn't acquire anything but character and wisdom? Judging from the rest of your post, I've got news for you: You didn't even acquire those.
By the way, coming to religion--real religion and not the spiritual materialism that passes for religion with TV evangelism--in order to get your dreams and hopes fulfilled--unless maybe your dreams and hopes are for character and wisdom-- is just stupid. It is like going to a jewelry shop to buy coal.

No, this person doesn't want Harris. He doesn't want spirituality. He wants stuff.
