Choosing a Spiritual PathHealing the heart and mind is often a challenge. For those who have been deeply wounded by traditional religion and the false guilt associated with simply being human, it is often a long journey to peace of mind. The journey is worth the effort, at the other end is self-acceptance, a joy in living and a powerful spiritual connection with all life and yourself. Many who have been bludgeoned with religious dogma, need to take time to examine what is truly in their own hearts and replace old judging symbols with new life affirming symbols and a willingness to accept others choices as right for them, before you can make a free choice of a spiritual path that is truly right for you and travel that path happily and securely.
Your spiritual connection with the Divine is the most intimate personal relationship you will ever have. No one knows what path best expresses your own unique connection with a Higher Power, not ministers, not priests, not psychics, not your family, not your soul-mate, and not me. This is journey that can only be walked and explored in fullness by you alone.
Your life is a miracle for YOU to explore. Many people express their spirituality through the honoring of the Great Goddess. I am one who has found that the Goddess speaks clearly and lovingly to me, I am a Pagan. This is right for me, and has been my path for many, many years, but that does not mean it is right for you, it may be, it may not be.
All religions contain grains of truth, all contain flaws. The Path you choose must be one which allows you to fully express your spiritual essence. One which honors and celebrates your values, ethics, beliefs and inner knowings. Whether you choose the Goddess Path, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Atheism, Paganism, Hinduism, Shinto, Taoism, Indigenous, Native American beliefs, or another spiritual path is not nearly as important as the act of freely choosing. All faiths work for some people. The trick is to find the Path that is right for you. Do not be discouraged or coerced into following anyone else's belief system. You have the right to choose your own way of spiritually expressing your connection with the Divine. If you do not believe in a divine being, that is fine too, and is also part of a legitimate spiritual path. Deity is not necessary for a streong spiritual connecion with life and being a truly spiritual person. Many Atheists are also deeply spiritual and compassionate people. Belief in a Deity is not the only Path to morality, kindness, compassion, and humanity
I wish you well on your journey of discovery.
