Christian Naturists

Christian Naturists is a group for those who put Jesus Christ as first and foremost in their life.

The current Parade magazine
features a story about awe. The term awesome is overworked but still relates
to a valid concept. Do you see the transcendent in everyday life? Does being in
a setting of nature make the veil thinner between this realm and the one above?
Does being in a state of nature facilitate encounters with divine presence?
Does nudity in general improve your awareness of who God is and who you are?

Yes, to every question.
For both my wife and I we feel our awareness even stronger when nude together. All of the elements of nature strengthen us. AND...as a married couple all of these elements contribute to our sexual pleasure and intensity.

Does being ina setting of nature make the veil thinner between this realm and the one above?Does being in a state of nature facilitate encounters with divine presence?Does nudity in general improve your awareness of who God is and who you are?I know the answer to all these, as a true naturist, would have to be yes, but I am not sure that I could answer yes to all.
Q1 - Do you see... I do, but I think that is a world view or an attitude. I know way too many folks that do not see the wonder around them. To them, every day is old news, nothing is new. It is boring and ho hum. I think a more simplistic lifestyle and faith-based world view cause you to see more of the newness and wonder in everyday occurrences.
Q2 - Yes, for me it does. I am not sure that nudity has anything to do with it though. A walk in the deep woods if amazing as you take in God's creation and how it looks now, but sometimes being dressed allows you to focus better on the views and less on the distractions like ticks and chiggers.
Q3 - Yes, but so does a time in God's presence with fellow believers in a good worship service. Maybe more so.
Q4 - Not for me. I know the general vote here will be yes, but I have a very high view of God and I am not convinced that my nudity changes that or changes how close he feels.

Hubby and I love to make weekly trips to the club and camp out there as well. After a few days of camping with nature we find an overwhelming sense of peace and serenity. As was mentioned before we have no barrier between us and the elements everywhere outdoors. We can hike up in the hills and feel God's presence with us. I don't think anyone can accurately explain it because its all very personal. Our sex life becomes even more intense.

Both a tuba and a double-bass play the same notes on the scale; however, each has its own unique timbre, and each has qualities which are apropos for particular musical applications ( any more, and I'll betray my immense musical ignorance, but I hope you get the drift).
That said, I see the point made by Audiobiker, Californiacoast, et. al., that awareness can, and often does, increase. But that doesn't negate ArcheyBuff's point that for him, being or not being nude, is not a catalyst for an increase awareness; with that in mind, both are quite correct. :)
By the way, Audio and California: So glad "intensity" increases. :)

I would also like to be naked for days alone in nature alone with
my wife. But this does not work with us. And I have problems to be
naked in front of God in praying.
