At This Point In This Lifetime...
Jun. 22nd, 2003 10:12 pm...I think I've found a good balance of faith and skepticism.
...I know a lot more about myself than (I think) a lot of people know about themselves. Some thigns would scare the hell out of me if I didn't know the hows or whys of what I am. Some of it is so amazingly awesome that I almost can't believe that it's me and I almost cry to think about it.
...I don't feel like I *need* to study in and become part of a legally established tradition, but more and more I think I would like to because I feel that it would help me more to help others. I would like to get involved in fighting religious discrimination (of all, not just my own.)
...I've talked to dragons, danced in fire and been embraced by the divine. I've also experienced the less pleasant side of things and it's not fun.
...I know where my strength and protection lie. I know that my greatest problems do not generally stem from my greatest weaknesses.
...I refuse to believe that I know nothing, have nothing or am nothing. I know that it's all relatively nothing compared to that vastness of all that exists, but still it is something and because I am, it does have a certain degree of significance.
...I know what I believe and why I believe it. I have seen tangible (tangible in my perception) substantiation of just about everything that I do believe.
...I have no interest in proving any other beliefs wrong, or proving my own right. Because we all see differently, I believe that we all find the way to the truth as we are best able to comprehend it.
...I know that there are things that I cannot do, and things that I should not do unless I want to invite in serious problems which would otherwise be easily avoided.
...I am a healer and a creator. When needed, I am a fighter.
