My focus is on this reality, and transforming thie world into a better place. I believe in reincanation of the continuous type, keeping us always in the reality of this universe. I believe that struggle and hardship can be mastered. That this reality is good for bringing out the most on human potential and the human spirit. I believe our spirits oftens leave our body to various degrees in our sleep, and connect with the spiritual realm. That, that is why dreams often seem really real, is because they often are, but in the spiritual realm. I believe the spiritual realm is strongly affected by individual and mass beliefs, and that certain spiritual structures, and even planes of existence can form as a result of beliefs. Spiritual structures are like physical structures, in that they can work to various degrees of effectiveness, depending on how well they conform to the rules of reality in this realm. Some may be more like recreation, and some may have quite positive effects on the human spirit, and make a real difference in their life in the all important material realm, or help one connect well with God. I believe that a lot of what ones sees in the spiritual realm is more like a projected image, used to help spirits connect and relate to each other. That we often connect with other spirits, some of the living, and some of the dead. I believe we always have some degree of connection with the spiritual realm, that in a sense we always have some of ourselves sent out beyond our body connecting with other spirits we are close to. I believe we will learn a lot more in the future about the spiritual. I meditate, do mind-body exercises, eat healthy, don't overindulge, and have developed my own Astrology System as a spiritual tuning device, to help me get good inspiration from all good sources.

I do not belong to any "organized" religion. I pray to GOD several times a day. I love GOD. There is only one GOD. I live a good life, in my opinion, and try to do good wherever I can and treat others the way I would like to be treated myself.
My church is in my soul. I know I am saved. I feel the peace in my life that only comes from the closeness I feel to GOD.
I was raised a Roman Catholic by my parents. Over the years I became very disenchanted with the things we were supposed to believe in and then they would be changed to suit the Church at a given point in time. There were so many contradictions I finally decided I didn't have to buy my way into what we think of as Heaven. Peace and contentment is a lovely thing :)

I am Asatru Heathen and have been for a number of years. The core beliefs are in the Northern European pantheon and the myths of the cultures of Northern Europe and Anglo-Saxon Britain. We follow the Noble Virtues and believe that, when one dies they go to the hall of their deity. A warrior will go to Odin or Freya, a Thorsman to Thor, etc. Those that haven't "stood" out go to Hella's realm for a restful ending.

I mainly subscribe to Witchcraft and Mysticism. I can see the existence of "God" in all natural things, and can define my place and purpose on a natural level. There is no heaven or hell, but there is "afterlife"; there is no devil or evil outside of our own creations. I have a moral code I live by and it is developed through my existence by my experiences. It allows me to be human and fallible with consequence, thus allowing me the ability to perceive my greatest potential for wisdom and knowledge. This is the abridged version mind you...

God is Spirit and now is the time when to worship the Father it must be done in Spirit and Truth. The only true spiritual way of life is to be "one" with God. To like what he likes and to hate what he hates. To know him is the only true spiritual way of life that leads to eternal life. Amen.

I believe in creation and evolution. I believe in God, not sure who Jesus was, find too many contradictions in the Bible, and love certain aspects of Buddhism and Quakerism.

Not all roads lead to the same God.
