Guest guest Posted September 10, 2001 Report Share Posted September 10, 2001 Whatever form of worship, is still worship, regardless of the forms of God or gods or goddesses you see, attune to, prefer or perceive "God" as. Go with the flow, the inner passage will lead the outer way. No way is right nor wrong. What feels right to your soul, is therefore right for you. Or any individual for that matter. Some may be Christian and also Wiccan, some are Catholics but are also Pagan, etc. etc. Others may have differing views so let's be open and hear them all. I won't go on about this because it will take pages and y'all will get ya hackles up J Orthodox or non-orthodox doesn't matter. Did you read that post about "Desiderata" which I'd posted twice in previous messages on the Tantrism Egroup? The piece is right next to my heart. Bill, go with your heart….. It will lead you to better things and more discoveries doing your Masters and subsequently teaching in college. One step at a time and you will achieve all you set your cap at. Like they say: "If there is a will, there is a way". God provides for each of us somehow, though in different ways. To anyone inclined to studies and academic achievements, I would always encourage without hesitation. Studies are akin to rites of passage. Persist, exert, excel and keep to the grind till graduation day and that will open yet another new door for you to enter.. Bit of Ozzie lingo here: "Go for it, mate! Whotcha waitin' for? Waste no time. 'Cos time and tide wait for no man." Entering each new realm of experience (mere existence isn't enough), whether be it a spiritual calling or a calling of another sort, we evolve nevertheless. Which university are ya planning to attend? Full-time? Whatever, do not fear brother. Fear itself puts obstacles in the way. Throw all those fears to the winds and be Confident that you will succeed. It is a promise: I will pray for you, Bill. For all obstacles to be removed. May you go from strength to strength. 3am Ozzie time, gotta go now. See ya next post. Om gam Ganapati yai namaha 108x Sy ============= Yes SY,it was an animated gif (ganesh in freestyle).....hopefully one day I will have a special shrine online where people can go view the dieties and bodhisattvas. Being catholic i of course only worship the Trinity through Yesu, God's incarnation, but being open-minded I see God in all forms since I believe all forms are authored by God and bear God's message and presence in varying degrees. Please forgive me rather orthodox Christian beliefs, but I certainly do respect all images and forms even though I only worship in the Christian way. SY, Rajat and everyone else, please pray for me. My friend Kumar just called and we had a serious talk. I'm thinking seriously about considering a return to college and working as a teacher's aid for religious studies, and getting my masters. The end goal would be teaching in college of course, which I think would be much better than simply working at Barnes & Noble, which I do now. Please pray for all obstacles to be removed and that the compassionate one will hear my cry and help me out. I am constantly plagued by slimy fears about how to do it all. I would have to get a car, relocate and find new employment. Thanks, Bill Get email alerts &; NEW webcam video instant messaging with Messenger.
