Tho in some respects I personally am somewhat anchored in Christian teachings and generally ,"Buy" the idea expressed in the Bible i.e. ...Acts Ch:4VRS 12: "Niether is there any other name under heaven by which man shall find salvation no, not one" that would only speak to my views on the human souls needs for ,"Redemption,Afterlife theology,Human Sin (the human propensity to willfully and many times wrongly choose a path)(no laughing Cat!) The question for me ,as it is I think for everyone, is God real(the notion of) or is that just a psychological contruct create by mankind as a tool of social control? My view of the Bible is that it is really ,"the Truth" or it's the largest fraud ever perptuated on mankind. I think these are questions that every human being must address and I think that journey is entirely an,"Inside job". Being a College educated Sociologist as I am, anything question that has to do with human interaction or human journey if you will, is a subject that I am fascinated by. It is the,"Stuff" of life itself for all beings.The spiritual journey for me, IS LIFE~:-) Now, I am well traveled and have participated in or done intense study about many different spiritual paths and from my view only...there is some truth and much beauty is so many of them~:-) Studied at the,"Institude of Abilitism: in the 70's was in Janovian Primal Scream, 'therapy" used in conjunction with the teachings of Vishnu, then there was Buddism, Holy Company, Taoism, The Course In Miracles and yes, for those that understand the statement, I too have gone,"Out On A Limb"list goes on and on. Bottom line for me was that there came a time when I really needed an answer that, worked.After all my life experiences the ,"Truth bell" for me seemed to inicate that the book,being the Bible, might actually be that bottom line so on my own, I began to study in ernest and then I made a choice for myself which was yes, I believe that the,"map" for this soul is here..tis the truth, for me~:-) Prior to making that desicion I found myself asking why, if I am on such a spiritual journey, am I willing to study so many other paths diligently yet feel such resistance to studying this one.lol Once I had resolved that question within myself I became willing to move forward. Guess it all came down to ,do I want to be ,"Hip" or do I want the TRUTH....... why would we seek for anything else but,"The truth." I do not attend a church,I refuse to beat people over the head with my truth and I read that book regularly/along with prayer because it just works so much better for me than say, the I-Ching.=D I LOVE parts of all those other paths and believe them to have some varying degrees of validity so it's for me a ,take what you can use and leave the rest proposition as my own personal mantra.= Demons/Satan/Good/Bad/Evil/LOVE? Yea, believe in all of it~:-) When I figure out out to say, all that I have just said, in one or two sentences I'll be happy to do it. In thje shorter term I will pray everyones forgiveness for being so dnaged windy here but also hope what ever little chip of a message I have laid out here touchs someone and proves helpful in their search~:-) here came a
