Weather, I feel that a part of us stays within the circle, because of the connection with the creator that has been established through the desire of each one here to humbly rid ourselves of worldly pride and intolerance of our differences..and becoming one in the peace and joy of harmony with the creator..Nothing else..Just allowing His love to heal us..To unite all of us with Him...

Beautiful words, blue. Yes, a part of me remains in the circle.

blue, some very wise words and thoughts here.

june, I could not agree more, we all need to know when to step back and sit quietly and contemplate our thoughts and refresh ourselves with good company.

weatherologist, the circle will always be here, it is a part of all of us, and we are all a part of it.

And I have come here this morning to join with the part of me that always remains in the circle to renew my whole spirit and to feel the love and understanding of and the "oneness" of the circle, and to be strengthened in my faith I will sit and pray for others who do not sit with us to open their hearts and minds and to allow the spirit of gentleness and kindness to guide them..

How wonderful that there is a place within this forum where no one is arguing for or against each other's beliefs, allowing each person their own path. Lovely.

My beliefs are of a naturistic approach. I believe that the Divine is within the creation. I follow a Pagan path--I don't see the Divine as being a force that is actively involved in the lives of humans, simply that we as human beings are merely a part of all that there is.

Just as there is a male and female duality in nature, I embrace a male and female duality within the Divine--to me, these dualities are expressed within Gaia, the Earth Mother and Wakan Tanka--the Lakota "Great Mystery," the power or the sacredness which resides in everything. When I go hiking in the Medicine Bows or camp out at Vedawoo, I am in "church."

Welcome to the circle, Kele.

Blue, it is always pleasure to join you in the circle. I will sit while you pray and join you in silent meditation.

Welcome Kele, this is one place no one will judge you or try to change you, regardless if we agree or not. We all have different beliefs here. I love to hike in North Carolina and I really feel close to God in mountains.

Kele, welcome to the sacred circle, all who come here know that there is no right or wrong religion, or right or wrong spiritual way. Being spiritual does not require religion. Religion does not make spirituality. Some of us come to pray, some to meditate. Some follow a ritual, some are spontaneous.

Whether you are spiritual or religious, you can pray and ask for strength and guidance. You can offer respect and honor and you can be considerate to fellow living things and expect the same in return.

Prayer and/or meditation is the human way to seek a connection with a Creator, God, or Spirit, to ask for help, guidance, strength, and wisdom.

Because you are the only one who can find your truth.osay
