    Am I looking for Religion or Spirituality?

    I think I missed your message before, but I just wanted to thank you for posting. I think it's my analytical side that enjoys boxes for support, or maybe it's my insecurities. But I am very glad you've found something that works for you. I want to connect more with the natural world, but I'd...

    I'm really bad at poetry but poetry's fun so here's a few :)

    My brother passed away in January.

    I am deeply sorry for your loss and am holding you in the light in this time. *hugs*

    Am I looking for Religion or Spirituality?

    Honestly, I've just started learning about it in the last few weeks. I like the idea of perceiving God as one, and as feminine, and all things being ultimately and currently reconciled to Her. Due to my background, I also appreciate that there are some Scriptures/readings to engage the intellect...

    Am I looking for Religion or Spirituality?

    Unfortunately, it is this very mindset that has driven me away, but I understand where you're coming from and appreciate your concern.

    Monistic Theism

    Neat! I think that might be what I'm referring to...I'm resonating a lot with item 1 (Madhva) in what @Aupmanyav posted above about the shades of Monism in Hinduism. Thank you both.

    Nope, you're not! I feel you about Paul. He and I don't get along.

    Monistic Theism

    Oh gotcha! I'm going to have to think more about all of this and research a little more but I think I'm starting to understand. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

    Monistic Theism

    @idav that's really helpful. So...let me get this straight... panentheism is that God is within creation and transcendent of it.... I hadn't heard that term defined before so that's helpful. So...hmmm.... so is there a term for a system that believes a "part" (like an essence or spirit or...

    Monistic Theism

    So I read through the introductory post to this forum and was struck by the idea of monistic theism. I think that might actually describe what I believe, but I want to be sure I'm understanding it correctly. From what I gather, monistic theism says that God(s) are both immanent, in that the...

    First cause?

    I don't know a whole lot about physics, but with all the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff this universe has going on, I'd think that ideas of "cause," "coming into being," or even "existence" to a certain extent might not even be applicable.

    Talk to me about Druidry

    I actually found a pdf version of it and of Golden Bough online lol...I'm excited to start reading them. :)

    Talk to me about Druidry

    That is so true. I guess, because of the ongoing oppression of indigenous peoples in the US, it seemed a little....exploitative? un-circumspect? of me to ignore or otherwise cheapen that reality.

    Why do some creationists think evolution = atheism?

    THIS. ALL OF THIS. I could go on and on and on about the "right kind of Christians" thing...but that's not the point of this thread. I think in Ken Ham's case he knows exactly what he's doing. He's a phenomenal salesman.

    Is It Possible To Like Someone Whose Views You Despise?

    For me, admittedly, it's pretty hard sometimes. Sometimes people come into your life that shake the stereotypes of people with certain belief systems and really make you re-evaluate your prejudices against them (prejudices I hold onto waaaay too often). One of my best friends is a conservative...

    Am I looking for Religion or Spirituality?

    Yup I avoid most churches and evangelicals as much as possible so I don't have meltdown panic attacks. My mental health journey has been long and strange and for the last two years has involved weekly therapy. I've never really kept track of my dreams before. A lot of triggering things does come...
