What is your Path?

Question

I believe in a "Higher Power" and don't subscribe to any religion. I believe that life is about embracing diversity and cultivating tolerance. I believe that human life is invaluable and must be protected. I find guidance from the natural world.

What is your Path?

Answer 1

To trust in God and the path he leads me on, to help in anyway that I can my fellow neighbors. To tell of the truths that I experience as I seek more truths..... as I seek I find, as I find I learn, as I learn I teach, as I teach I help guide.... God is all around us guiding and reaching out from within us all in many different ways.

Answer 2

guidance from the natural world? I hear so much about this natural world sort of "faith" yet see no natural people. Pretty odd. I hope this path can carry the full weight of what "upright" truely means. Any "path" that proclaims its self to be a higher power must be of true moral upright men or its nothing more than man based religion. I suppose one could preach whatever one choses these days and gain many followers. Thats what is truely sad. Humans LOL so litle do they know yet so much they believe. Crazy eh' lol God bless and good day.

Answer 3

I have reached many of the same conclusions as you, but as an agnostic in the sense that it does not matter whether there is a god or not.

I believe that we must care for all that surrounds us, our community, our country, and our world alike.

The natural world must be our guide, because it is the reason that we have become such a unique species.

I believe that to know is one of the most important (for lack of a better word) things that exist within the known universe. With knowledge, you can make the best decision possible under any circumstance.

Answer 4

I struggle to label my beliefs, because they are pretty diverse, but the closest thing I have found is pantheism. I believe that One (my concept of God) is the Earth, the Universe, nature, everything. I believe that when we die, we become worm food, after which we nurture our planet, thus providing for future generations. I find it very interesting that we were likewise nurtured from before the moment of conception, by those who came before us (I believe that this correlates with the Christian belief that God knew us while we were still in our mother's womb). I also find comfort in the belief that by helping to perpetuate the Earth after our death, we are essentially gaining the eternal life that so many religions have promised over the years. I believe that since we live off of the Earth, One is as much a part of us as we later become a part of future generations. Because of this inner-dependence, I believe that proper care of our planet is essential for our continued existence, something that science and current events are beginning to prove more and more. That's all I can think of for now, but I will come back and edit if I think of anything else.

Answer 5

Organized religeon is man made and not of God.
God is the higher power, which you can experience if you follow his word.

DO THE WILL OF GOD

You need to find a home church, be obedient, follow his word, be baptized with the holy spirit, show your self approved and do the will of God (Mark 16: 15 - 18)

Answer 6

I'm a Green Witch. Like you I find a LOT of guidance from the natural world and couple that with meditation and worship of Goddess and God who also serve to enlighten me. I believe that MY path is RIGHT for ME, and for ME only. I accept that others follow their OWN beliefs and that they are RIGHT for them. YOU, my friend, are what WE Witches would call an undedicated Witch. Even though you probably won't admit NOR claim it. you ARE one, nevertheless. Merry Meet.

Brightest Blessings,
Raji the Green Witch

Answer 7

My path is a very personal one, so I sometimes refer to myself as an eclectic witch. I try to learn from all sorts of different ideas, draw them in from all over the world, and like you, I celebrate diversity. I believe in the importance of liberty and justice for all, and I believe in compassion and courage.

But I figure I'm going to need at least one more lifetime to reach nirvana. I need a chance to be one of those slim, elegant, intelligent, charming witches who can be so very magical as maidens, become mothers of superior children, and then do the wise crone. I missed having children this incarnation, and I ate too much and exercised too little to be an appropriate priestess of the Goddess of Love.

Answer 8

My path is very, very narrow.
Walking it is like walking on a razor blade that has been sharpened one thousand times, being careful not to fall off.
It's not for the foolhardy. Yet it is the one that I have chosen.
It is the correct path for a fool like myself.
One must treat everyone as though they were yourself.
I follow the Sufi tradition.

Answer 9

I'm an eclectic hereditary witch. I believe that all life is invaluable. I believe that we should respect everyone AND everything the creator has made, including ourselves.

Good journeys to all. :)

Answer 10

Similar to yours only that I don't believe human life is necessarily invaluable. It is the same as any other life. I have my emotions, don't get me wrong. But humans are subject to the same laws that nature has laid out.
