If you haven't found that, then you are very lucky, indeed, and more power to you. Because we don't, as a rule, disucss religion in depth here, I won't elaborate on my own experience except to say that I was often told not to question anything and that I was doing something wrong to read anything not approved. I was also advised on more than one occasion not to think so much, and was often made fun of because I had interests beyond having kids and taking care of a house. It was not a positive experience for me.
Anyway, I didn't mean to cause offense. However, that was my experience within that tradition.
