Hello, Chris,

I have just signed up - of "curiosity and desire" - and I hope to set a good example by responding.

Peace, Love and Light,

Daryl

Daryl. Thanks for replying. No need for an example. Just being. Why did you join?

Chris,

I beg to differ: A good example is always welcome, and just to be is not quite enough when there is so much to do. I'd rather not wait for the universe to sort it all out for me. I don't have that much faith.

I joined because I believe in good ideas and good work. Is that enough?

You?

I joined because I believe in good ideas and good work---- that's a great idea and the only answer really,  peace and blessings.

I agree with you, if we waited we would still be waiting.  I joined because I wanted to talk to people like you.  For the longest time I've been on a journey without acknowledging it on the higher level.  Never really having many people to talk to and wondering why it was so hard to be still in my mind. Then came peace and the want and desire to really connect with others and myself. It's an amazing journey. Thank-you for your reply and I hope to talk more.

Sorry for a late reply.

 

Thank you, Anna Lisa. :~)>

 

Thank you, Chris. If my thoughts are any use to you, you're welcome to them! I hope in a place like this, they're not rare and I'm still working on it myself, you know, and the path is rushing by!

This is an amazing journey and I also often feel alone and afraid, and I rarely seem to rest my mind or body well enough, though I really must!

I'm a bit surprised to find myself here, to be honest, but I am already interested in sharing ideas - hence I built myself a website last year (which is a work in progress, to be honest!) and had a radio show for some time before that - but I feel a need to get "back to basics" in many ways. Here that probably means just to distill a personal mantra to get me up and at it each day, although I already have one, which is to: "Protect, Include and Celebrate." I trust and hope and believe that the greatest rewards are spiritual and like "Peace, Love and Light" and that these is what our high selves seek and crave. I emphasize that peace equates to safety and harmony, love to devotion and inclusion and light to joy and accomplishment and truth. For whatever it's worth, these are the best ideas I have to give and I really don't feel that I should want any better. Those are my "good ideas" but I do need to do more on the "good work" front. Perhaps that's partly why I find myself here, and thanks to Anna Lisa.

I also like to mention that I think "bullshit is our enemy." Particularly because for the want of bullshit, most of humanity's endeavours have been horribly misguided.

If I am ever any use to you, Chris, you can thank Anna Lisa, too.

Toward Peace, Love and Light, I always hope...

Daryl

What an honest reply. I love it. I find the more time I spend in my head the harder I find things. What I mean is how much our minds control us. I spent most of my adult like worrying about the future and letting my past define me. My wake up call(other than separation). Was a book I read. It was called the Way of the peaceful warrior. It is a fable with an amazing message. I had told a few people about it and their clarity increased. It was an easier book to read than the books by Echart Tolle. I have to admit, I have fealt alone and afraid often. To a point where I found myself getting depressed. Through the books I read I realized that most of it was patterns I developed Many years ago.  Meditating really helped to.  When I let go of the past. Wow. What a difference.    I am tring to understand the bullshit a bit more?  Could you elaborate:). I had a great coversation the other day. The person I was talking to was expressing themselves and saying if the government would just....  I said instead of ever talking or thinking on that wave length(cuz you know most of them are out of our control). Try to make an impact on 50 people's lives in 2 years. I really love your mantra. I need to search for one. For now,Peace, leading with the heart,compassion. Hi Anna Lisa :)

I'm at peace now because I'm finally beginning to realize who I am. I joined spiritarian because without it I likely would have been lost in futility, denial, ego, and self-destruction. For me it's the daily practice of faith and focusing on positive growth. I'm here because I desire to live. 

Community is essential to me and I find peace in sharing my knowledge, strengthening community, and healing.

That is beautiful. I love the part about community. It's like a massive weight that is taken off your shoulders. When you realize you are not alone and that there are many that desire the life of clarity we desire.

Hi, am I at peace I ask. I am in thought not heart. Getting closer to heart I feel the flow of universal enegery and I feel more peaceful.

I am at peace because I have faith that if I endeavour to live in my light self in each moment while considering long-term positive, I will live out my deepest hearts desires.

Hello Chris,

I am grateful that you asked this question.

I am at peace as I have taken the knowledge that I have gained from being a spiritarian to myself (internal), and I now realize that It is not necessary for me to be anything else, to my self or anyone else, thanI already am. I have learned to love every part of who I am unconditionally by first grasping the knowledge in these workshops and interaction with these beautiful spirits and then seeing it in total truth inside of me. Once I truly settled into my positive internal self then I can take my focus from self to others utilizing my higher power as a filter (Internal/Eternal/External). This has opened me to my peace...    Jamus
