About Me

Shabbat Shalom...
Get an Hebrew Scroller I am interested in spirituality, which is not the same as religion. Religion is a circus of ideas, concepts, teachings followed for the entertainment value of believing one is saved, accepted, loved, approved of due to obedience. Worship is the same. How would you like it if people kept saying "I praise you" all the time? You would rightly get the feeling that they are trying to impress you, suck up to you, to get your favor and hopefully, if you have some power, your help, so they can escape from having change something, or do something for themselves. Spirituality is what is left after one drops all that nonsense, and just IS, like the mountains, the oceans, the lion, the eagle. Spirituality IS, when there is no longer any projection of a concept, an idea of who or what we are.

Beauty

I've never seen an animal I have thought ugly, they are all beautiful in their own way. For saying things like this I have been laughed at in the past, like one time when talking about some local fera...

Walk With G-d until you Disappear

As part of my recovery, I have been going walking for fairly long distances, usually 3 or 4 miles.  This gives me a lot of time to appreciate Nature, etc.  The local Baptist church has a mar...

Paradigm Wars and Political Correctness

Recently I heard someone talking about Love, and he used the description of being "in love" versus "loving". The latter, he said is, "total expressing", and the former is "total wanting".  Mature...

Development?

It all started with a vague feeling of something wrong.  This developed into something like a pain, I don't know, like a silent scream I heard in my soul.  Disquiet settled in here, I wasn'...

Sacred?

G-d is Love?

To me, love implies several things.  First off, love implies union, does it not?  There is a coming together, a sense of closeness.  Also, there must be vulnerability, openness.  W...
