Spiritual Match Up

This swap is different from the regular Swap-Bot set up, so please read carefully. Instead of sending to the person Swap-bot randomly selects for you, you'll be matched up with someone based on your interests. No rating will be involved in this swap, and, because of that, no one is allowed in this swap who has any rating other than 5.0. No new members are allowed. Still interested? Read on.

One of the most important things in my life is my spirituality. I love talking with others about spiritual topics. I learn so much!

I decided Swap-Bot would be a great place to meet people with whom I can share/discuss on a spiritual level. But if I allow the Swap-Bot generators to randomly match me up, I will likely end up being matched with someone who has completely different beliefs and/or doesn't understand where I'm coming from. And that's how this swap was born.

If you sign up for this swap, this is what you'll do:

1. Post a comment below. In it provide information about your spiritual life. Do you follow a particular religion or set of beliefs? Are their books that support you on your journey or books you'd like to discuss with your partner? How is your everyday life affected by your spiritual beliefs?
2. On February 1 when Swap-bot matches you up with someone, disregard the e-mail. Instead, come here and read the comments left by others. E-mail me with a list of names of people you would like to be matched up with. You can include as many people as you want on your list. Let me know how many people you would like to send to.
3. I will make sure everyone gets matched up with at least one person in the list they sent. If you requested to be matched up with more than one person, I'll make those matches, too, based on your list (as long as the people you chose also want to be matched up with more than one person).
4. I will send you an e-mail with the addresses of the people you will be sending to and names of those you will be receiving from.
5. To those on your list, please send a snail-mail letter and something that might spark conversation between the two of you. It could be a copy of an article or a few paragraphs of a book you think the receiver might enjoy. It could be a religious icon or memento. Just do your best to find something you think the receiver will really like.
6. After sending out your letter and one item, the rest is up to you and the receiver. If the match is a good one, you may end up becoming snail mail or e-mail buddies of the deepest kind. If you get matched up with several people with the same interests, the group of you may decide you'd like to keep in touch with a round robin. The possibilities are endless.

If you have any questions, please post them below. I look forward to reading about everyone's spiritual interests and matching people up.

P.S. People from any spiritual/religious path are welcome! This swap is international.
