Beliefs

Was looking at a posting on group page of core beliefs in a hundred words or less.  Not as easy as one thinks really because for one thing…it makes us all have to sit down and be concise in our wording, as well as what the hell we really do believe in that would in a sense fit in a nutshell.  I posted, but facebook seems to have eaten that posting, so will try and post it here:

I believe that we are all connected one to another through energy that is given us from the universe, whether higher power, deity, whatever one believes in personal perspective.  I pull from ancestry to mesh with things I have chosen to include that will construct a spiritual path for myself because this path is a reflection of who I am rather than what I do.  I believe that we are all one race..human, and as such should be adult enough to give respect even if others do not afford the same… and if they cannot do that.. we  eat their souls

Ok, that last part I was being a little facetious, but, it seems reasonable to want to kick people’s ass if they have no respect for others because it tells me they don’t have much for themselves either.  The other part..that is true reflection of who I am.  I don’t try and feed people a line of bullshit, making them think I am other than what they see.  I am human and have my days of snarkiness like everybody else.  I am not perfect so don’t expect everything that I believe or do on this path to be that way either.  I believe that we all have gifts and are supposed to use them, whether its healing, teaching or passing on the knowledge we acquire along the way.  that may not work for you, but my guides tell me that is the path I am on.  Do I always listen?  Nope..told you if I were deity, I could do as I please and not stumble, but once in awhile I have to be reminded that I have things to do.  I don’t have time for labels either.  I am human being, child of the universe as is everybody else.  Calling myself anything but student of life is bit much for me.  I know it works for some, but I just cannot do it.  They step out on stage and demand attention because of what they know.  Some are damn good at what they know, and others are just as good at the sleight of hand and manipulation that is required for that entertaining show.  I have no desire to show all the facets of the mirror that make up myself.  I like being in the shadows watching humanity..one learns a lot.  I am out more than I have been in a while, and was reminded that when I do so I should up that shield.  I’ll not forget  that lesson anytime  soon.  The thing is this was a sweet little exercise because it requires thought…what do we believe, why we do so and be direct and to the point instead of meandering around and dredging in dogma, doctrine or any of that other rhetoric that one seems to get caught holding.  So if you have a chance, and want a challenge..try this yourself.  One hundred words..no more NO less…define yourself and your beliefs so that others may catch a glimpse as to what makes us tick .

PEACE OUT
