cool topic Cap!

dont really know how much more i might have to add.. i love spirituality so much cause so much has been written on the topic... stuff that is over 10,000 years old is still use-able... spiritual alchemy is one of my main interests.. recently ive come upon a group that lifts me up to new heights even tho i had thought i'd heard it all... never too old to learn new tricks ..the web is an excellent source for alternative thought... of course we want to be careful when we explore, some caves have predators within..

my usual approach to non traditional beliefs are by the numbers... several followers doesnt always mean that its the right one for me... and because it has saved several doesnt mean its the way i choose... i try to keep in mind that there are several roads to the market..

i like to hold the spirituality against a few standard measurements before i fall for its glimmer and shine..

i want to know what is wanted from me by this movement.. often its causes are social and if thats the case i try to shield myself from the confusion of too many cooks in the kitchen.. a quiet place works for me, where my thoughts are allowed and validated.. if i am unable to ask questions and recieve kind replies, then i might keep looking..

i try to keep in mind that not all lessons in life are comfortable, but we can choose an attitude that is less painful..

listening and learning about others beliefs in a supportive and loving atmosphere is one way we can connect in kindness and healing spirit..

ego is really an issue for me with others.. i dont want to be force fed someone elses truths.. i walk in my shoes and i know the turf best for me..

if i make a mistake, the healing spirit of the High Above does not exclude me from trying again...

love is what makes it all work for me and i know when someone is jiving me about something, even tho i may not always say so..

my faith and belief systems work for me and thats more than i can say for the days of my past when i wandered achingly in search of answers about my spirit and the meaning of this life, running into bullying spiritualists and religous people caused me some problems but i have kept going..... others attempts to enlighten me kept me searching for the truth..

feeling that i had a purpose and a reason is what makes this all make sense to me.. otherwise, i see little value in this experience..

we are able to connect in healthy ways.. that ive seen in the spirit of the people here at PC... we all matter, we all make a difference... we all just might mean a little more in this world than we seem willing to accept....

let your ego build around the knowledge that you matter and you are making a difference in the lives of suffering people.. its something that wont go out of style for awhile... let yourself be humbled in the strength of the weakened, be your own strength and build strength in the faith of good spiritedness with those others who are capable.. there is no spirit like the spirit of humans determined to survive...

best always Capp and all !
