Have you ever experimented with your spiritual beliefs?

Question

Are you considered a *mad scientist* in your inner circle?
It's Alive.....It's Alive......It's Alive!!!!

Answer 1

Yess.... I tried sipping hot tea in deserts
I tried chilled beer on the polar circle
I tried to close my eyes in the gardens full of flowers
I chased some funny Coyotes
I was chased by some wild dogs
Some butterflies tried to catch me and keep me in their collection..but i fled

Once i got hold of God and kept him safely in my back room
but HE melted and evaporated and could not be found again

Sometimes I tried to change speed of rotating electrons...
once tried to put protons in place of electrons
and got a a big shock

But I am a mad scientings.... i know the truth..but I always pretend to be searching for it.....

as it gives me immense joy in hiding my own truth behind doors.... look for it and then dance on refinding it

Will you be my co-scientist ??

Answer 2

Life around me is the mad scientist.
Alice in Wonderland feeling bigger or smaller dependant on the surroundings.

I try to remain true, to my understandings and knowings, relative to the moment.
It is the moment which tries the peace within the heart.
It is the moment that is alive with pure potentially and that is where my choice lies.
To stand firm in God and move with the wind.

Or to be the effect and lose sight of what is true.

Experimentation is when the knowing isn't known.

I find "interest" that what I believe sometimes runs parallel with others, somethings verves to the light, and sometimes to the right, but at the end of the day, when the sun is going down on all, I count my blessings which are many, check the day for my faulterings, adjust the mind, clear the head, breath a sigh and thank God for another beautiful day.

Answer 3

You know... sometimes I think it's my "spiritual beliefs" that are the *mad scientist* working on ME! They can sometimes seem to have a "mind of their own" and slap me in the face with an experience ("experiment") that I would never have thought possible.

So, I just let the good times (and the bad times) roll... There is meaning in everything! And, while I DO feel like a mad scientist at times, concocting the craziest of ideas, just to see what they might materialize into, I tend to feel there is more to the experience (to my "experiments") than meets the eye... Luckily, third eyes come in handy, eh? =-P

Answer 4

Experiemented, yes, but not really considered a mad scientist since I prefer to keep my spititual beliefs to myself.

I was raised a Catholic. As a child, reading bible stories was one of my favorite pastimes. In my teens, I joined the charismatic movement, and became a leading choir member. In college, I was lured to student activism and believed (for a time) that religion is the opium of the masses. After a serious "personal debacle", I became "aware" of the sense of my being human, I wandered aimlessly in limbo and begun searching for "spiritual guidance". I toyed briefly with Buddhism, and new age consciousness.

Now, I guess, I am a little of this and a little of that but neither this nor that.

Answer 5

It relies upon on the guy you're attempting to transform or proportion concepts with. If it relatively is a guy or woman who ignorant and closed minded, then you certainly have no danger. maximum folk those days look on the media and decide an entire race via purely a single act they happen to make certain on the information. If it relatively is a guy or woman who seeks training.. Then purely chatting with him, or showing him your ideals and your way with God; must be good sufficient to convince him. some all and sundry is open minded, yet are very specific approximately their ideals. in case you have doubts approximately your faith, then how can it in all danger be a faith? you may follow a faith the place you haven't any longer any doubts approximately.

Answer 6

Hahahaha!!!! All my so-called "inner circle" dropped me long ago when I got too weird for them. (Actually, I think having an "inner circle" left me wide open for the directed ostracism campaign of one disgruntled woman long ago, so I don't really have a circle--all are welcome but one of my biggest flaws is that no one really gets inside.) But in answer to your question, I have done extensive experimentation with spiritual phenomena, even attempting something that I was later told by my guide in Native American religion could have driven me insane. I'm glad it didn't, but I think that's partially because my mind is so open that it accepts really bizarre things at face value.

Oh yes, I also stupidly (and drunkenly) decided to practice dowsing on the battlements of a fort on the Gulf of Mexico. I nearly fell over the outer seaward wall (duh! it's the ocean! and I was dowsing...what an idiot I say of myself in hindsight...) And I don't know if this qualifies, but I used to practice flying as a child, because I was sure I had been able to do it before. I broke my brother's bed trying...experimentations all.

Experimental miscellanea: numerous seances, speaking in tongues, magick with ritual and oil formulations for specific purposes, ninja misdirection techniques (this is when I decided that much of magick was in the manipulation of the mind), all-night vigils, sweat lodges, Lent (even though I wasn't Catholic), weekly 24-hour fasts for 16 years, a one-night stint as a High Priestess of Discordia, A Subgenius wedding, along with a massive orgy of destruction of wristwatches, encounters with dark things in the forest, encounters with light things in the forest, Ents, telepathy, etc. etc. Incorporations of various pop-spiritual aspects, such as the Force, the concept of Faerie as it relates to the experience of Man in the Universe, the seeing through masks and labels such as Titus does in "Boy in Darkness," certain aspects of bushido, philosophical reflections, rigid logic, everything is true, and all that. This is now starting to look like one of those filler texts they use for spam email, so I'll leave off.

To call what goes on in my head "spiritual beliefs" is an oversimplification, or paradoxically, an overcomplication of a rather open process of filtration.
