I don't really fit into any category. My beliefs are drawn from the Vedanta tradition of Hinduism, Sufi Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, Gnostic Christianity, Gnostic Paganism, Baha'ism, and Atenism, or the Amarna heresy.

Basically: I believe God exists, and that God is the Universe, and that they are one and the same thing. As parts of the Universe, we are parts of God; the individual human consciousness is illusory. The Universe is not actually an area of space and time but a single consciousness, but humans are deluded and cannot see this. This may be because of God's plan or some evil force or Man's free will or something entirely different, I honestly don't know, but by study I aim to find out. At some point there may be mass enlightenement and we may all be re-incorporated into God. My best bet is that this will be brought about by study of quantum mechanics.

My religion inspires me because it is free. There is no clergy, no sacraments, no prayer, no pointless rules and ritual to stand between me and God. I haven't found Him yet, but I'm looking.

Words? No idea. Cellar door. I like the words 'golden light'. They have a nice, crisp, autumn-y sound.

I think of the major religions you also missed Jews, Hindus... I Had another but I can't remember it now.


I do not follow any religion and so do not fall into any category, but I will tell you about my beliefs anyways. :)

My beliefs lie somewhere between Wicca and shamanism. I believe in the power of the cardinal Elements. I believe that everything has a spirit that you can communicate with. I believe in magic and humanity's strength of the soul. (I think Gandhi called it satragryha, or something like that.) I believe some souls keep repeating their lives, while others are newer. I believe in magic. I believe in the power of love. Love is all that matters. Love is all that ever matters, and will ever matter. Everything can come back to love. An inspiring quote that come to mind is the one in the Bible about love.

Be Blessed. We love you Pangel.

I'm a Unitarian. Most of us believe in a higher power of some kind. We believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all people. We don't generally believe in hell. We believe that tolerance and compassion are right and just. We are peaceful. We accept evolution.

All of that is what inspires me. It's not just a religion but a way of life.

Words by great teachers of love, kindness and morality inspire me: Jesus of Nazareth, Mahatma Gandhi, Kahlil Gibran, etc.

My religion is a secret to outsiders. It requires a full scale search of history, archeology, science, and the main religions. You must find the clues and seek people out.

I can tell you that justice, remorse, guilt, and forgiveness are not part of it. God exists. God is everything in the universe. The afterlife is what you take with you when you go and the key is to stay in balance in all areas. You treat people as they treat you.

my beliefs are a little open, but at their most solid state:

i believe theres a spectrum of 9 personality vibrations that symbolize the dimensionalistic folding of space/time into matter that is consistent w/ einsteinian thinking regarding god being at the center of the universe, and that by reaching the center of the universe, oddly enough, you can take any point on the limit of the longevity of light(i believe light has a limit as to how far it can travel) and by pulling it towards you w/ the same method as described on bob lazar's website (he has a mirror site that isnt passworded) you can travel back in time to the origin/source of the universe- god. also w/ my beliefs is that magic is accomplished by taking gravitational frequencies on a scale of 6-8hz and amplifying them using your being. i believe pretty much everything on uri gellers-the stuff by andrija puharich and bob lazar's websites. the main loose-ends i had to tie up were the link b/w time and space and the link b/w magic and personality and physics w/in our space/velocity. the best i can do to explain what each of the nine are is by saying that a persons mind is composed of intuition, logic, emotion, in that order, and that the total points in all will equal 7, and the most u can have in one area is 5, and that each one is represented by- 5-1-1, 4-2-1, 3-3-1, 2-4-1, 1-5-1, 1-4-2, 1-3-3, 1-2-4, and 1-1-5. i would say that 1-1-5 are christians and that aliens gave us christianity to protect people of that personality type from the brutality of philosophy and physics. My beliefs are pretty wacky, but i compiled them from as many sources as i possibly could into one that allows for all of them to exist simultaneously- so you could say im an existentialist/new ager

I'm a Gnostic - the opposite of Agnostic. Seems I'm not the only one anymore either.

I believe that we can either choose the world of spirit or flesh in this world but sometimes we don't make the choice tiill we're about to leave it. Some people make that choice very early.

I believe that there is one God, that ALL religions worship the same God in one way or another. I don't believe in condemning people to hell and I believe the world has got it all wrong.

I know that the two sides of my self - flesh and spirit are in conflict with each other as they are in most people.

It is not an organised religion, it is a relationship with God. I read all the world's scriptures and accept them all equally as part of my path of learning.

Words?

Jesus said "Be passersby" (Gospel of Thomas, Gnostic scriptures)

Love thy neighbour as thyself. (New Testament)

Make the world your enemy as friendship with the world is enmity with God. Enmity with the world is friendship with God. (Book of James, New Testament, KJV)

Don't complicate your mind, the sage feeds the belly first, after that the mind will sort itself out(Tao ti Ching)

Thou shalt not kill (Old Testament)

The Jews, the Christian, the Muslims, the Sabeans and all those who work righteousness shall have their reward in heaven. (The Qur'an)

What about the Buddhists, Hindu's, and which forms of pagans did you ask. After all there are Druids, Wiccans, Odinists, Dianics and many others.
