Where does all this spiritual talk come from? 9/29/11

   Experience in my own life has lead me to reach certain conclusions. Not dogma, not institutional, not Baltimore catechismic(catechismal), not religious conclusions, but spiritual conclusions based upon my own experience. My life continues to unfold into goodness. The seemingly bad circumstances prove to be spiritual opportunities. Damaged relationships are healed, economic difficulties are accepted, physical obstacles are met with surprising composure. Miraculous coincidences become common.The Flaming Lips – Do You Realize??

   Holy shit, I'm an evangelist, but I'm not exactly sure what to do with that. I'm no Preacher, or Tent Minister. I'm a regular guy living a spiritual experience. Sure it doesn't hurt to have 7 weeks of treatment in the rearview mirror, but I would venture to say that as I approached this physical, emotional, financial, spiritual obstacle, I was able to tap into a Power significantly larger than me. Through the course of my illness I have been lifted up by the kind thoughts, deeds, and prayers of others. I was lifted up by the physicians, and medical professionals. I was lifted by family, and friends, past , and present. I was lifted by clergy of every denomination. I was lifted up by strangers. I was included in meditation, and pilgrimage. I have been given blessings, tokens of support, and anointments.The Decemberists – This Is Why We Fight

   Here I go...Einstein said in his book The World As I See It "A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which are only accessible to our reason in their most elementary forms---it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude. He goes on to say "The true value of a human being is determined by the measure and the sense in which he has attained to liberation from the self". Go figure...I like Einstein. Don't ask me about the theory of relativity, or the music of the spheres.Los Lonely Boys – Heaven
