I was going to write about my great day
with my family yesterday, but then I got to working on schoolwork last night.
As well as talking to a friend who inspired today’s column. So you will have to
wait till Monday to hear about my day yesterday. Today once more I find myself
needing to be serious and say where I stand both spiritually and in some senses
politically since the two seem to go hand in hand. Not so much because someone
is demanding I do, but because I basically demanded everyone stand up for what
they believe in yesterday. And I know I do it a lot, but here I am going to do
it even more boldly.
I
don’t think I really fit in with any one religion to be honest. I believe in
GOD but I believe he has a wife that is a Goddess. Sun and Moon in a sense as
the Wiccans do. I believe in Christ and his teachings as well. I also believe
in being at one with nature as well. I believe in using magic for good and to
protect people. I also believe in other supernatural being that we just can’t
see yet for whatever reason. I also believe that peace is the best path when it
can be walked. But I will not turn the other cheek when hit either. I will not
stand for abuse of women, children, or elders either. Doing one of those three
things is just asking for a beating in my view. I believe in treating even the
lowest human being on the totem pole with dignity and respect. I think we all
go through our own spiritual journey to the same place we just take different
routes to get there.
And
some take easier and harder roads to get there. It all depends on the challenges
they have to face as well as the lessons they need to learn. Is how I see it.
Life is like a classroom to me. We get sent down here to learn over and over
again. And when we finally learn all we need to know we
get to stay in Paradise. Though some of us once there want to help those learning
so we take on roles to help them. But at the same time our bodies are just
temporary structures for our spirit that go back to the Earth when we pass from
this life to the next. But we recognize all our families from each life and
they recognize us in Heaven.
And
no I don’t know that I am right for sure. I’m just going on faith from what I
have learned and studied so far in life. As well as what has come to me in bits
and pieces. My ideas will probably change over time as well. But my faith in an
afterlife will not. Nor will my wishes for what is to be done with me after I
die. I’ve spoken about it to some but yet to do it here I am pretty sure. I
want to be cremated and buried as a tree with a headstone to show where I am
buried as a tree. For those who want to come visit me. And I don’t want a sad
mopey funeral. I want a party thrown with stories of me being shared and
everyone having a good time. Since to me life should be celebrated not mourned.
I
don’t expect everyone to agree with me. And I welcome discussion about this.
But I’m just saying what I believe and putting it out there. And I probably
missed a few things as well. No one is going to hit every little thing in a
post like this I know. But I wanted to try and start a civilized discussion to
further my exploration as well as others on the spiritual path. So please do
feel free leave questions and comments below. And if you want more of my posts

hat and walks out the door heading towards the kitchen. *
