What is your spiritual philosophy? Is it leading you to the places you want to go? Your spiritual philosophy is the way you approach life. It is the foundation upon which you can stand at any time, in any situation, without fear of falling or failing. If your spiritual philosophy leaves any room for fear, lack, hate, intolerance, anger, pain or shame, it may be time for a change

My spiritual philosophy is under construction.
It is slowly... with lots of detours... leading me to the places I want to go.
I feel like I'm confronting a lot of feeling buried alive... shadow self/dark night of the soul... whatever it is.

My approach to life is too stressed currently. I need to breath deeply more.

Thanks for encouraging me to think about this.
What about you, Godservant?

I call it principles of peaceful coexistence, no need to woo it up.

That would be nice but does not match up to reality.

Why demean normal human emotions/reactions? Is this not simply wanting to sweep stuff under the proverbial carpet of nonchalance? These emotions do not define who I am, they are a natural reaction to what I perceive based on my principles.

I definitely will not tolerate stuff that harms folk, I will vent my anger when appropriate and I will only fear that which can harm me or my family of which I have no control over. (these are just examples)

I believe in God Most Gracious: the Creator: One without associate or equal or son or parents: the Eternal.

And I believe in the afterlife: the life in the spirit-world following death, then Doomsday, then Judgment and either Paradise or Hell.

I believe also in the revealed word of God: the Ten Commandments, the revelations to all the prophets including the Glorious Quran: the miracle lasting to Doomsday.

Moreover, I believe in all the apostles of God as His servants and envoy to people:
to take them out of the darkness of ignorance and enthusiasm about men --> to the light of guidance and devotion to God alone without associate.

Quran Interpretation

Live and let live. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. Speak your mind when necessary, but don't try to impose your ideas on others. Don't go out of your way to seek confrontations but don't allow yourself to be bullied into silence or compliance simply to keep the peace.

Set a positive example. Don't always be a follower, but don't always expect to be the leader of the pack either.

Everything in moderation.

i am pretty much the same way.. i try to be.

learning a lil more about myself everyday and trying to practice patience, kindness, love in all situations that i am faced with.. at times it is hard but i see my growth.. my mind is opening and my heart is allowd to dream as well

i think its a journey and i want to appreciate the whole journey

"the moutain is steep but the view is beautiful "

at the end of the day we need to know who we are and be comfortable and confident in it.. no matter what comes and goes we need to stand firm and know ourselves.

Spiritual philosophy is an authority of Sophia , who is a liberal dark fallen angel who the Living God Son of God Jesus Christ has Not authority spiritual rule over , See these spiritual rule from the liberal Arts of Classical study, which are philosophy and theosophy, and grammar, and arithmetic, geometry, rhetoric, music, astronomy.... And as these arts are not perfect to the Lord He will not keep them in His authority, so the devil sophia rules over the heart of men who engage in these arts .... See you would think that the Lord would have grammar as He is articulate in the Word of God , But No, the rules for Christians that are grammar related are Not from the Lord Jesus and His Words....

It is part and parcel of the absurd denigration of knowledge that drives the retentionof ancient ignorance in the name of Faith. All those things are seen as the "wisdom of man" and not to be trusted by the blind faith believers in ancient ignorance and superstition.
