Appreciate eny feed back .

What you may fail to recognize ,is that we all are not inherently aware of spiritual realities...that you easily accept.

Science, family-peers ,education may deny all but the physical,and shape one's
outlook at an early age.
Unless one is somewhat (spiritually) aware OR very curious , the door may remain closed throughout their life.

I was raised Catholic and participated in those ceremonies till I started asking questions priests couldn't answer, and decided to look elsewhare.
I asked lots of questions and studied philosophy looking for answers, but found non that stuck.

A chance event when a college friend gave me a tab of LSD ,open the doors to a reality I'd never suspected. My view of life was never the same.

And of course I'm still asking questions, decades later.

Everytime i read this topic i can hear David Bowie singing it.

And theres allways the things we all have in common, hopefully
It's just sadly for me the world seems so divided ........

Theres somethings, we all know.
The sound of the breeze in the trees.
The sunset with the dawning a new day.
The meadow in the woods, where the nature spirits play

People grow and evolve at different rates, spiritually and otherwise.

Accepting each one as they are in their process is important for going ahead ourselves and for supporting each other.

Yes, so true, accepting/ reaching out to others is so important, but when people are attacking you in an energy vampire like way, the only thing you can think is that, oh well they must be teaching me patience, but that's not allways easy when your under attack and your energy is being drained away .

I understand what you're saying, Pagandell.

I've found that being aware in the subtle spiritual light and gently emanating that to the attackers works best for me.

Yes Xan that is the way to do it, I think it's the only way realy.
And we type folk are very lucky to be able to come to SF and share are visions of the other dimensions and things.

Well, the thing is, having an open mind means you aren't defending against anything. If you feel that someone's beliefs aren't credible, let them be. That is where that person needs to be at this time. If they were ready to go farther, they would.

Instincts can be a confusing topic because what one might think is an instinct might not be, and what one thinks is rational might not be either.

Everything we say is a symbol, an interpretation. When you are defending against something someone says and holding a grievance about it, you are fighting against yourself. We're still stuck in the old ego patterns of trying to assert ourselves. We see it all the time. We want our way of thinking and living to be recognized and valued. While I am asserting myself, and you are asserting yourself, we can not join together and see the reality of the situation.

Just because you choose your path to walk does not mean we all have the same path.
Your path is spiritual others not so much. To question the disbelief of a Athiest and ponder it like there missing out on something is very shallow.
Try digging deeper ask yourself the same questions about yourself.
I mean technically if you think about it your spiritual path cannot even be proven you could worship the ghost of scooby doo or flying spaghetti monster. That's your thing you cannot 100% show us the flying spaghetti monster even exists it boils down you choose to believe in this force unto yourself. Understand??
Athiest's arent missing out on anything everyone has a different path to enlightenment.
