Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

Substituting Organized Doctrines With Spiritualism

By Joe Goddard


Does the commitment and system of organized religion seem limiting to your spiritual growth? It is an increasingly common sentiment, and people are exploring other ways of thought and belief.

Spiritualism is commonly the crossbreeding of various religious doctrines, which people allow because they fit their lifestyle and personal dispositions. Online spiritual websites offer a wealth of info that can expose members to different forms of belief. The goal is to intensify one's spiritual growth, and the various belief systems included on such websites allows an individual to gain the top avenues for their spiritual expansion.

Finding an alternative to religion can reinvigorate one's connection to their belief, which greatly benefits the overall well being of that individual. These other religions do not require regular attendance, and allow the individual to shape their own vision of religious texts. For those that are intimidated by organized practices, this provides them with a way to enhance their own understanding of religious belief.

Alternative religions (those outside of common Western belief) include new ways of making sense of the earth, and can invigorate new sentiments of spiritualism within an individual. As a conclusion, members of online spiritual communities are better off and can acquire a sense of personal calm. In addition, these other belief systems include the same lessons as popular religions, which make them simple to apply in one's life.

Finding an alternative to organized religion can greatly benefit an individual who feels weighed down by the doctrines of organized thought. It is not to say that organized religion is a negative entity, but it does not fully work with everyone. In a vast world, more and more people are looking outside of organized religions, and doing so can alter one's personal sense of spiritualism.

Researching these alternative belief patterns can help you get back on path to a healthy sense of spiritual belief.
