And I also believe as long as we search to understand and dare to doubt how the applications, of for example Holy Texts, has been used through the history of religion, we are on the right way, surely applauded by a higher power ;)<br />

When I speak of "doubt", I refer to the <b>interpretation</b> and <b>application</b> of the sacred texts of all religions. It is this application we can see and judge. and like the interpretation is is created by humans, why we have every right to question much of this.<br />
It is not about the doubt, whether God exist or not but how humans present him to fulfill different purposes.<br />
And <i>interpretation</i> of Holy Texts ,like the Bible for example , has nothing to do with divinity, but more about…

Joni, that's your perspective dear sis. We all have a perspective to share, and this is our space to do so, freely, without feeling judged by others, whether what we have said has enough content or not. Our perspective on others ability, experience and knowledge is always limited, unless we can see it from theirs. My words above, are my exploration of my self - that is part of my process, as is what you do part of yours. One thing that is important to me, is our freedom of choice, and when I…
Joni, that's your perspective dear sis. We all have a perspective to share, and this is our space to do so, freely, without feeling judged by others, whether what we have said has enough content or not. Our perspective on others ability, experience and knowledge is always limited, unless we can see it from theirs. My words above, are my exploration of my self - that is part of my process, as is what you do part of yours. One thing that is important to me, is our freedom of choice, and when I write, I always try to do so without interfering with the freedom that others have. We can find answers in books as books are a source of information, as is reading what someone else writes in a blog post - nevertheless, nowhere did I write that all the answers can be found in books. Some people begin their journey of learning through books, because that is the stage that they are at in the journey through life. Others begin within, and may later search for information elsewhere. What works for one may not work for others dear sis.<br />

Dear Ali,<br />
<br />
it was a difficult question you asked. I have no doubt, that I am aware of, that there is a higher force in the universe, that we are all connected to, but that higher force, God, Allah, Jehovah, creator, I'm not able to relate to well. At this time in my life, my belief is in body, spirit and soul, and I connect to what I call spirit guides, they can be animals, or deities etc. It may be that these are simply different ways I connect with God, or the higher force in the universe,…

At this time in my life, my belief is in body, spirit and soul, and I connect to what I call spirit guides, they can be animals, or deities etc. It may be that these are simply different ways I connect with God, or the higher force in the universe, but I do know, that a spiritual path is not an easy one or a quick one. I do have doubts about the way things are going in the world, and where things are going to end up, and what is the most confusing thing for me, is how so many people believe in so many different things, and how we are all going to fix a broken planet....what can we all agree on:) smiles:) I have to be honest, in sayin…tag:ipeace.us,2010-08-27:2217368:Comment:26667702010-08-27T21:26:21.841ZDeshttps://ipeace.us/profile/Des
I have to be honest, in saying that, I have no connection that I feel with what people normally call God, i.e., a white person, with a beard, who floats around up there, somewhere, keeping track of what we are all doing down here. LOL No matter what I read, with few exceptions, each book presents its version of reality, and in many cases, implies that its a better version than the others.

I have to be honest, in saying that, I have no connection that I feel with what people normally call God, i.e., a white person, with a beard, who floats around up there, somewhere, keeping track of what we are all doing down here. LOL No matter what I read, with few exceptions, each book presents its version of reality, and in many cases, implies that its a better version than the others. I have not met a person yet who is truly free from fear, free from all of the darkness inside them, that they are unaware of. Freedom from fear is a thing I don't fully understand, nor do I think that anyone can lead me to that understanding, but what they can do, is explain from their perspective what fear is to them - I can then look at what they have explained and see if it works for me, and then look within. Or, I can just look within and not ask anyone or read any books on it. If I had never asked anyone, or read anything, I would probably be more ignorant than I am today. As far as karma goes, I have a rough idea of what it is, and what to do about it, but I don't know the steps to take to work with it effectively. Perhaps someone can assist me, if they have an understanding of my perspective, and maybe, I can help someone else, if I have an understanding of theirs, but my way is not likely to be someone else's way, and so maybe we just absorb what is useful and discard that which is useless to us. I have learned a lot from visualization. I need no books, no stones, no teachers to learn it, unless I choose to. But moving back to doubt, I guess it means we are unsure of something. Are there different types of doubt? Maybe some doubt is caused by our primeval fear warning us of some danger, or that doubt is caused by an unknown fear hidden within our subconscious, so maybe we need to try to understand these things, find out, go within, find a way that works for us to understand it...
