Sounds good. Your views are quite similar to mine, really: this world is the "creative play" of God, putting it simply.
Eastern spirituality, well, it's been a default through my life. I was not raised in religion, I didn't even find out my parents' religions until I was 19 and 20 respectively. I just used the net, read, learnt, studied and so on. I've been practising Buddhism since I was 13, except for a brief while when I "tried" Christianity which didn't work out. When I was "out of" Buddhism for a while, I then encountered the dreaded "pop Buddhist" and "nihilistic Buddhist "phenomena: you know the kind, "Buddhism has no soul, and you don't live past this life, blah blah blah". This was so alien to me, and it was sputtered around so matter-of-factly it took me a while to feel comfortable considering myself Buddhist again. Now, I don't give a crud: Among my Hindu and Sikh-ness, I'm also "Positive" (theistic) Buddhist and proud.
