Spiritual, not Religious
It seems the world is desperate and hurting.
My journey in it has had to Trust in Spirit to have Answers--
but in that I found that She only gives them out to us when we are willing to let go of our own old ideas, allowing room beyond any opinion we may have.

Thinking that has blocked my growth includes:

One thing that's sure is that no one person or way has all the answers needed., that's why we need each other and Higher Power too (most of us anyway).Trusting in Spirit for guidance from a higher, wiser place than my own self- will helps me let go and begin to believe-- or even to "act-as- if" I believe in something better as a start. Time shows more doors when I listen. Patience and faith help hold a space to feel and know that the growth I need will come.
Beyond The Self-- that, to me, is spiritual
To reach beyond myself, to re-think outmoded old ideas for an overarching truth, is quite a challenge. Only Spirit can beat my ego out to lead the way beyond the self to a "god- shot" (good shot) that can bring amazing healing.
Our journey on this earth (as I believe) is to learn and share our truth most kindly, beyond judgment and expectation, and to help each other find a way to unity and soulful, kindly Spirit.
Today, I see myself as Spiritual, loving all the good of Spirit, even in some vessels that would once annoy me. And also for me there are parts of faith and religion too, that have something good to offer, even if I don't like what I see on the outside-- I need all of it, all the good that Spirit has to offer.
The truest seeker, and the one who finds the closest thing to truth is said to be the one who seeks out the Beloved in every place, even in that most unlikely place of all! Today, i am not afraid of any name or faith, for I trust myself to to choose what works for me and what I find as true through my own independent investigation.

Beyond the "Wall"
To Serve a Greater God or Good
The years of my rebellion held certain truth and healing. At its worst and angriest, the angst had built a wall against my own exploration and the people around me that had chosen a different pathway. My own negative judgement on those others and the church fed my ego, angst and anger, bringing a superior sort of comfort that paid me much too well.
Today I feel that nothing is of greater value than releasing all of that to serve a greater god or good. But it takes the help of Spirit to let go of all that I had known, and tap into an honest and authentic truth beyond my well- trod zone of comfort.

Still Growing...
I'm not the biggest rebel in the pack today, but I take nothing "just because" a "certain Someone" said so. I apply my mind with utmost care to what I believe or follow because I think Spirit's input matters big- time to our entire world. I know that there's a greater truth beyond what's between my ears. Leaving behind the worst at least, of religion's misuse, abuse and distorted understanding, I've found a way to use it still as I have a wish and will to. Beyond the mind and its many discontents I've found a way, and all of us can find a way to live, to let others live, and to do so by loving something greater that's above it all, that Great Spirit that connects us. Whether we call it Spirit, God, good, Love or Love Above, its an Unseen force that lives in all of us, and we all may share that goodly, godly Sign.
