Spiritual path ends, start a new chapter

1/4/2017

Depression is real. And it is treatable and manageable. At three junctures I started my life over again. When life-as-I-knew-it ended, I started life anew essentially with few resources. Each time, I found a new life filled with purpose and meaning and happiness I never considered available to me.

for years I tried religion to satisfy . . . nowadays I attempt to simply listen.

Organized religion wants to kill American citizens

11/11/2015

I'm Done with organized religion. Organized religion by its very nature is exclusive. It divides the world up into a duality, saint and sinner. Kevin Swanson a Christian minister calls for the rounding up and execution of certain citizens for behaving badly. I choose to practice following Love into a spiritual life of my choosing. A spiritual life that is inclusive of all peoples.

Freedom is ours

10/2/2015

The good news story is about freedom. It is a freedom that is inherent, not a freedom that one man bestows upon the other by some magical ritual. A freedom individuals discover for themselves. Jim Morrison spells this out for us.

Organized religion always promotes "us and them" mentality"

Rising of the "Dones"

4/24/2015

"Sociologists reveal why people are done with church but not their faithRise of the Dones".

They’re called The Dones.

After devoting a lifetime to their churches,they’re walking away. Why? Sociologists Josh Packard and Ashleigh Hope reveal the results of a major study about the exodus from the American church. And what they’ve discovered may surprise you...
Church refugees aren’t who you’d expect. Among those scrambling for the exits are the church’s staunchest supporters and leaders. Leaving the church doesn’t mean abandoning the faith. Some who are done with church report they’ve never felt spiritually stronger.

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind

4/21/2015

These are trying times for so many of us. I am recording my life into recovery and wellness. And with that, I am passing along things I did as self-help. For one thing, I sought out ways to change my thought-life. Louise Hay and others feed me with nourishment I desperately needed when I needed it.

Positive thoughts gave me my life back, transformed.

Best wishes for you and the life you desire . . .

Die a little

More than once in life I've closed one chapter and opened another. I like to think I learned valuable lessons each time. I bet you feel much the same about your life too.

A real no, no . . .

In my reinterpretation of the popular interpretation of the Bible theme, I provide the reader a way to hold their faith and yet use it in a positive, affirming, and all inclusive manner.The good news was never intended to bash others and do harm.
