Choosing a Spiritual Path

------------------------

Healing the heart and mind is often a challenge. For those who have

been deeply wounded by traditional religion and the guilt associated

with simply being human, it is often a long journey to peace of mind.

The journey is worth the effort, at the other end is self-acceptance,

a joy in living and a powerful spiritual connection with all life.

Many who have been bludgeoned with religious dogma, need to take time

to examine what is truly in their hearts and replace old judging

symbols with new life affirming symbols before they can make a free

choice of Paths.

 

 

 

Your spiritual connection with the Divine is the most intimate

personal relationship you will ever have. No one knows what path best

expresses your own unique connection with a Higher Power, not

ministers, not priests, not psychics, not your family, not your soul-

mate, and not me.

 

Your life is a miracle for YOU to explore. Many people express their

spirituality through the honoring of the Great Goddess. I am one who

has found that the Goddess speaks clearly and lovingly to me, I am a

Pagan.

 

 

The many voices of the past that told me of a jealous and punishing

God, have no power in my life today. They have been replaced with a

deeper knowing. I am only saddened that some would choose to seek out

a negative, judgemental diety to express their spiritual selves and

their view of the world. Such fear based religions do little to

create a true sense of unconditional love and acceptance.

 

 

All religions contain grains of truth, all contain flaws. The Path

you choose must be one which allows you to fully express your

spiritual essence. One which honors and celebrates your values,

ethics, beliefs and inner knowings. Whether you choose the Goddess

Path, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Atheism, Paganism,

Hinduism, Shinto, Taoism, Native American beliefs, or another

spiritual path is not nearly as important as the act of freely

choosing. All faiths work for some people. The trick is to find the

Path that is right for you. Do not be discouraged or coerced into

following anyone else's belief system. You have the right to choose

your own way of spiritually expressing your connection with the

Divine.

 

 

 

I wish you well on your journey of discovery.

May your right Spiritual Path find you.
