Synchronicity as a spiritual principle 5 Replies
Synchronicity is a concept defined by Carl Jung to explain coincidences of a psychologically significant nature. He proposed that there is an principle of connection that works outside of the system of cause and effect and draws together symbols and events in a way that can be profoundly meaningful and healing to the individual that experiences them.Working from this concept I have begun thinking about my own spirituality in terms of multi-layered, embedded realities, basically the same…Read More

Purpose of sanctuary 20 Replies
I find it a little disturbing that some individuals have proposed that there is no point in having a sanctuary area. The implication seems to be that it is impossible to have an engaging discussion that is not insulting or critical of the views of others. Or that to attempt to have a discussion that is not insulting or critical is in someway less honest or less interesting than the alternative.Being respectful does not require being silent. It requires putting a little thought into one's own…Read More

WHAT MAKES A BELIEF A BELIEF? 1 Reply
What makes a Belief a Belief?The Bible says "Faith is the assured expectation of things hoped for, the evident realities though not beheld". Hebrews: Chapter 11, Verse 1.Can true belief honestly be based on mere hope?A false belief is not considered to be knowledge, even if it is sincere. Read More

Predestined for Glorification 2 Replies
We cannot earn salvation, and we can never lose salvation, because salvation is based not upon what we do, or promise to do, but upon what Christ has already done for us! What an astounding truth to ponder and really come to understand; a gift declaration of righteousness to those who could never gain that declaration through performance. Does that mean that once we are saved, we can just go out and do anything we want to do; live anyway we want to live and still be saved? Self-sanctification…Read More

Are Your Religious Beliefs Plausible Facts of Probable Fiction? 2 Replies
I very much enjoyed the recent Open Source Religion (OSR) discussion about the role regarding the role religion plays. . . Although others may disagree, Religion 1.0 uses beliefs as a substitute for facts. In the ancient world, facts were often very scare compared with the evidence-based rational world we live in today. As such, in the past, it made sense for "people in the know", like kings, priests & prophets to provide people with belief-based information in order that their…Read More

Open Source Religion Tool Kit 2 Replies
Anyone on the Open Source Religion (OSR) path needs to determine if they wish to look in an inward and/or in an outward direction for guidance and inspiration. Historically people have largely searched in an outward direction with the assistance of proprietary religious organizations with the assistance of priestly guides who provide instruction to people on how to perform ritual forms of worship for the benefit of God. These institutions generally come with a set of historic stories and…Read More

(and I suspect many do not) . . . . or22 at least many of you. . . . Sorry but more than me are rubbing out the notions of what has been heard or read of by many times before.
