    Become a member to remove this ad.
    I don't know what essentially I espect to achieve with this...I wrote this Blog along time ago and for what ever reason today, re-visited it....And only this one...Saw your message BD

    But I read a beautiful thread today on spirituality on this Forum, and we have alot of new members....

    This is my take....

    This is my journey on it...

    Just sharing



    I believe in re-incarnation.
    I believe in Angels.
    I believe in Souls.
    I believe there truly is a Devil, I have seen him.
    I believe there truly is a God, I have spoken to him.
    I believe in Ghosts, I have seen them.
    I believe in ESP, I have done it.
    I believe in reading jewelry and predicting, I have done so.
    I believe in touching someone inside and they heal, I have done so.


    Am I a witch? Am I an Angel? Who was I before?

    I don't go to Church.. But, when I was young I wanted to.

    I see Old Churches and I feel inner peace.

    I see new churches of today's structure and I feel sad.

    I love wisdom..

    I have no fear.

    I am a risk taker.

    I love me..

    I see people for who they are, I feel sad for those whom can't dream, can't love, can't see.. I see sorrow, I don't get angry, I understand, they are lost.

    One day, my Mother "in her mind" sat in the Lounge room and asked for a tissue. I stopped washing the dishes, grabbed the tissue box and took it to her...

    One day, I took a watch and held it, and wrote what I saw, those things happened within a month.

    One day, I saw an aura around a bus conductor, It didn't feel right, it felt wrong, I didn't speak for a week, I was young.

    One day, I heard girls laughing, or so I thought, in an old Church that was converted to a Restaurant, I was the Manager... The laughter, turned to choir singing, as the mist came down the stairs, through me, out the door, and into the carpark.. I locked the door, and ran..

    One day, I was on a bus, the Conductor glared at me, dark eyes, he didn't watch the road, as he drove.... I said there are three angels to every devil... I got off the bus, I looked at him and I smiled. His eyes changed, soft and he said, you have a great day. I knew I won.

    One day I asked my Grandmother, "why is my Mother like that?" she said, " she has no patience, accept people for who they are" and from that day I did.

    One day, I saw a man in my mirror, he scared me.. He was trying to speak.. I described him to my Grandma and she knew who he was, her husband.

    One day, I saw a woman, at the end of my bed, with a shawl.. When I sat up she turned to me, no face and then she vanished.

    One day, my grandmother had an apron tied into knots, it fell to the ground...

    One day, someone called my name "Elizabeth" but that's not my name, it was a character I was the understudy for but never rehersed, a play at school... The next day, the leading lady broke her ankle and I had to step in... I spoke each line, verse to that play, yet I had never studied it.

    One day, I heard dishes being washed, I was married, the light was on.. My husband was in my bed... I ventured the next morning, the dishes were all still there, the light was off.

    One day, I was talking to my then husband, about love, true love and his Mother's photo fell to the ground...

    One day, I told my ex, "turn left not right", you will be up in the hills somewhere... He turned right, he rang me, he was in the hills, and a car lost it's load and his car had to be towed away..

    One day, I was drowning, in the sea, then I believed, and I found the way to the top.

    One day a man, grabbed me, 6ft 2, pushed me into a car, I held on to the top of the door, he couldn't do it, a taxi driver, drove it... I ran.

    One day, I told my darling, he would not have to get up at 6am anymore, the next day he texted me, his ex-wife, had changed her business structure, he no longer had to get up at 6am..

    Many times, I finish people's sentences, once I asked someone on a Forum, "why didn't you tell them you were with her for 7 years", he never ever wrote that, or indicated it, and he asked " how did you know that?

    I love being spiritual.. I know it can be tapping into your brain, your mind is powerful, but I think it's more...

    I have healed myself of many things, faught against, life, lived, and in my heart I knew it was because, I am meant to and now, I'm free, I'm me, and I'm found...

    I hope to heal many people with theirs.. and see, that there is no fear, it's a freedom that no one can ever explain, it's a love that is beyond any love you've known..and it is courage to know that there can be no fear...

    The things I have seen? Felt, dealt with? A different part of life, that comes with being totally open, having a soul, having no fear and allowing it to come into your life. And, it's accepted, it's a journey, in this life, as me.

    Because with it, you have an amazing journey.. amazing...

    Am I a witch? An Angel? I've been in this life before, that much I do know...

    I am me.. I am free.. And, I don't care if that makes me, different, because, it's a beautiful feeling being me.
    Do we not realise that in order to find a soul
    It doesn't happen over night
    if truth were to be told.

    Like everything in life that's hard to achieve
    you must believe!

    For me, spirituality is when we are able to live in touch with our highest level of consciousness.
    As such we can truly experience that we are spiritual beings having a human experience in this physical body.
    Behold the presence of the Father in all beings...

    In your first comment, isn't that in finding yourself and feeling free? You know exactly who you are and what you want out of life and a sense of knowing comes across you smile..........

    Yes, I too believe in re-incarnation I wrote a blog on that too

    But there is more, it's completing a circle, it's walking to the end of the road, jumping every obsticle, knowing the road will end, but then begin again....

    And, in acknowledging.....that, it's okay people are who they are, we can't change them, rather accept....

    Then there's stay away from negative people, but all negatives can and is a positive....all...

    "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art], and unto dust shalt thou return."

    To me, spirituality (often confused with religion) has always been the acceptance and embracing that there are forces greater than me......that I am truly but a particle of dust...a grain of sand....a part of this greater thing we call the Universe. That I am (we are) all interconnected. And the realization of this interconnectedness helps us to understand, to relate, to empathize, to feel compassion for those around us whether human, animal, plant, etc. Even the plant is my relative. This spirituality is my path to discovering what is my true self. Me. But not me the female, the Buyer, the daughter, the sister......not me labeled by the world. Me......what is truly my inner being.

    "Be what you're looking for."

    "The next time you're thinking of kicking someone when they're down, offer them your hand and help them back up instead."

    Spirituality....(IMO, is very personal)
    Most of my family would disagree with me.. but they tend to tie it to religion..

    But, I believe that Spirituality is: Becomming one with yourself. Mind and Body! The best "YOU", you can be..
    Then shine, and share with others.

    Asking what is spirituality is like asking, what is love?
    Each experiences it in their own way and expresses it in their own way.

    We do have to be careful not to confuse spirituality and religion. Religions are man made, largely created as control devices which warp spirituality.

    We are all spiritual beings. All life is part of spirit. What people think of as god is the larger spirit which we are all a part of and are connected through, it is not male or female. In our true spiritual being we are neither male or female. We use terms masculine and feminine to define and describe aspects of our self that we need to balance. Living in a body which is chemically "wired" for gender, we experience a greater leaning toward certain types of responses. Living within social groups which have adopted strange religious and social practices and beliefs, we are pushed out of balance and into accepting some very damaging behaviors and interactions.

    We are here to learn, to experience in the flesh and to grow. We are meant to be love, to be joy, as spirit beings. I do have some strong knowings about this. While it can be beneficial to spend time alone, we are all interconnected with all life and are not meant to be hermits. There is no physical place that is heaven or , we create that within ourselves. We can live joyously right here and now. There are an awful lot of beings caught up in bizare control dramas who are intent on making life in the flesh a time of .

    The true self is spirit and does not cease to exsit when it leaves a body. Your body is a place you live in for a lifecycle. It can indeed be a temple if you treat it and your be-ingness as such. It contains you, it is not You. Why are you here? To learn love in another form, to interact, to grow and to help others grow. Some get stuck life cycle after life cycle, some have grown and are here to facilitate the greater growth of others. We may interact with many of the same spirits throughout repeated cycles, sometimes we recognize each other and are drawn together. Some are able to recall events and information from past life cycles, some get very mixed up and don't deal with there stuff while they are here and so end up struggling with it, lifecycle after lifecycle. So its best to deal with your carp now.

    We are here to love. This is why a true joining, love, that is physical, sexual, emotional and spiritual, can lift us to such heights. When we open up on all levels we transend the limits of the physical and of thinking.

    Spirituality is awareness of your true self and of others and working to explore, learn and have balance between the feminine and masculine attributes of self and to live in joy and love.
    We can only learn to love by loving. - Iris Mudoch, British writer

    To me its something I do not believe in nor will ever practice. I cannot really describe it in any certain way other than that.
    There are those who believe that dictionaries should not merely reflect the times but also protect English from the mindless assaults of the trendy.
