Maybe...

It's a spiritual/psychic/psychological spectrum, a range of vibrations: High Energy: Neutrality: being observant without being judgemental Higher Energy: Amusement: being interested, focusing on things with acceptance and appreciation Highest Energy: Love, unconditional Be on the Spectrum!

Serenity

Compassion for suffering; Patience for ignorance; Generosity for neediness; Amusement and Forgiveness rather than resistance or shame for mistakes and fumbles and flaws... And I'm not talking about just for others, for ourselves, too. Sign in to see full entry.

God talk, again

I was watching reruns of THE WEST WING, a season of seeking nomination and election to the Presidency. The lobbyists for the Conservative Evangelical Right was trying to manipulate one of the hopefuls into making statements and taking stands on their particular issues. Throughout, they never spoke of God without the basic assumption that everyone knows what God is. Of course this isn't true. We all have our own ideas and beliefs about what God is, who God is. Most of these were acquired in... Sign in to see full entry.

Don't forget...!

I have read the Bible through--probably went very quickly over the begats--more than once, and while I don't recall it by chapters and verses, I have looked for the history, for the teachings, for the variety of voices, and most especially for the thread that runs through from beginning to end. With all its contradictions, with all the many voices, the stories and biographies, with all the teachings, all the rules and laws about living properly, there is one consistant message: Don't forget you...

Redemption is always possible.

You can sell your soul, or, rather, believe you have sold it, but consider that souls are not negotiable, only beliefs: A soul can be recovered by choosing to change your deal with whatever devil lured you into the belief that anyone but you can have charge of your soul. That's what the gift of free will means. Sign in to see full entry.

Glamour

In the United States, in much of the world that has long followed its lead, life is about surfaces: superficials carried to extremes of glamour like a thick and heavy layer of makeup; makeup that highlights, changes, and masks what lies beneath it. Glamour not only hides reality, it denies it. It seduces and lies and makes it seem that it is what matters most. Glamour distracts. We have learned not to look deeper. We have forgotten the need. But there are calmer cultures, older cultures that... Sign in to see full entry.

Animals and Souls

It used to be an assumption, and a very convenient one, at that, that only human beings have that esoteric quality we call 'soul.' But how do we recognize a soul? What are its signs in a personality? What assumptions was that assumption built on? Descartes shaped the notion back when Reason was all the rage, and spirituality not so much, that animals are basically meat mechanisms, all their actions based on reflex. He asserted further that the mechanical understanding of animals absolved people... Sign in to see full entry.

Medieval Justice and Truth

I was watching the CADFAEL series again, from PBS some years ago. I like watching the old shows to see actors who later became notable for other roles. One episode, for instance, there's Toby Jones as a 'simple lad, but harmless.' I like him... Have seen him as one of Elizabeth I's ministers in the latter years of her reign, Robert Cecil, the son of William Cecil, Lord Burghley. He also starred in a comedy, The Detectorists. In fact, he has been in many many films and tv shows over the years,... Sign in to see full entry.

I was just watching a documentary about the first civilizations that states that for 99% of humanity's time on Earth, we were hunter/gatherers, pretty much doing the same things for the whole time. Then we began to settle down with our patches of grain, with herding animals instead of just following them. We discovered metallurgy... Squabbles became better-armed and graduated from fisticuffs to raids to wars... Conquest for control of resources--food and materials, work force, mates--led to the... Sign in to see full entry.

The School of Choice and Free Will--part 2

It is easy to advise, Trust the voice of your own heart, your own connection with the Divine. But what if the place you go when you turn inward to hear that voice is so noisy and filled with distractions that you can't pick out that quiet voice that is your own? What if not only others are chattering away, what if you yourself are busy quoting strictures and lessons you have picked up along the way? What if you are being distracted, misdirected, steered actually away from the droids you're... Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I've been asking the Universe to explain itself to me since I was about 11 years old. I asked specifically how to reconcile God with Science. Now and then, I seem to tune in on an answer. All that I write here represents not Truth, but what I believe to be true.I have my reasons, and I like to believe, my reason. ///Everything of my own words and/or pictures that I post on Blogit is copyright by CLRedding 1972-present, all rights reserved.///
