Thoughts About Choosing a Spiritual Path
Healing the heart and mind is often a challenge.
For those who have been wounded by traditional religion and the guilt associated with simply being human, it is often a long journey to find peace of mind. The journey is worth the effort though, at the other end is self-acceptance, a joy in living and a powerful spiritual connection with all life. Many who have been overcome with religious dogma, need to take time to examine what is truly in their hearts and replace old judging symbols with new life-affirming symbols before they can make a free choice of Paths. Your spiritual connection with the Divine is the most intimate personal relationship you will ever have. No one knows what path best expresses your own unique connection with a Higher Power, not ministers, not priests, not psychics, not your family, not your soul-mate, and not me. Your life is a miracle for YOU to explore. The many voices of the past that told me of a zealous and punishing God, have no power in my life today. They have been replaced with a deeper knowing. I am only surprised that some would choose to seek out a negative, judgemental deity to express their spiritual selves and their view of the world. Such fear-based religions do little to create a true sense of unconditional love and acceptance. All religions contain grains of truth, all contain flaws.
The Path you choose ought to be one which allows you to fully express your spiritual essence. One which honours and celebrates your values, ethics, beliefs and inner knowledge. Whether you choose the Goddess Path, Buddhism, Christianity, Native American beliefs, Judaism, Islam, Atheism, Paganism, Hinduism, Shinto, Taoism, or another spiritual path is not nearly as important as the act of freely choosing. All faiths work for some people. The trick is to find the Path that is right for you. Do not be discouraged or coerced into following anyone else's belief system. You have the right to choose your own way of spiritually expressing your connection with the Divine. I wish you well on your journey of discovery. May your right Spiritual Path find you. The Hindu blessing 'Namasté' says it beautifully. ~Namasté ~ I honour the place in you, in which the Entire Universe dwells.
I honour the place in you, which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace.
When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, We are One. Page Created For Educational Use By:  MoonNStars 4MeContent Provided With Permission From: SilverTigress ~ Beyond The Mist Of Magick
