"Spiritual But Not Religious"

Nice to see you back Herbie, and thanks for your views

"Spiritual But Not Religious"

Hi Merc... believing in yourself is good!

"Spiritual But Not Religious"

Thanks for your feedback Cossak.

"Spiritual But Not Religious"

Oh really? Then you ticked the wrong box on your profile

"Spiritual But Not Religious"

I have noticed that many people - on this site and elsewhere – describe themselves in this manner or, is it just a convenient box to tick?

I find this description very vague and possibly misleading. So, how exactly do you define being"spiritual"?

Here below are a few examples of the things that I have heard makes a person "spiritual" (singularly or in combination)

1. Does a “Spiritual person” believe in a “God/Creator” or a version thereof?
2. Do they believe in “Heaven & Hell”?
3. Do they believe in Karma and Reincarnation?
4. Have they heard a “call” and do they have a burning desire to walk a certain Path?
5. Do they ponder over the Universe and Humanity´s place in it?
6. Do they revere the environment and all creatures on earth?
7. Do they do good deeds for society, donate to charities, do volunteer work etc (mostly anonymously) without being attached to the results?
8. Or many other virtuous things?

The list above should not be regarded as “red herrings” which “must” be pursued. They are only suggestions/prompts.

Discuss to your heart´s contents.

Good to see you back..safe and sound ....at least I hope it is You...and not somebody who's taken your avatar here?

Why Dresden if you don't mind my asking?
I like Nurnberg Xmas Markt but have never seen the Dresden Markt.
Sprichts du Deutsch?

However...if you do decide for Spain..at Xmas or later...
Hope we'll meet?

The Jasmine is flowering..
The lemon trees are growing their second crop and will be ready for picking by Xmas..

Soon Putting Our Clocks Back Again! -The Concept of Time

Lovely video. Thanks ITW.

RE: I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

Yes...that's how I see it too.
Each person is dependent on the other one to make them feel good!

In other words...they are not complete by themselves?

A "bit of craic"? You mean some gossip or just for fun?

It would be nice
I wish I could..

Maybe I could ask Scotty to beam me up hey?

RE: I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

Hello Pk

You're right...we don't need anybody to make us feel good and validate us!

But...when with someone...we should also be able to be ourselves and be accepted for who we are and the way we are.

RE: I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

Hiya Merc

The problem is...they seem to like/love you at first but then...they want to change you!
That's when it's time to move on...

Hiya Irishgal

Would you really want to go back that far?

RE: I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you.

This is a very nice quote and also very nice if we can find someone who can bring out the best in us.

I found one man like that once but...he was only there for a season.
Never found another one since!

Nevertheless...for the time it lasted he made me feel good and I could be myself...no lies..no mask..no pretence..

RE: Demonic possession................?

Hope to see more of you Marlin?
How's the singing/comedy show going?

RE: Where do our thoughts come from...?

Another question for you Pedro..
Do you sing? And do you play the guitar or the fiddle?

RE: Where do our thoughts come from...?

Pedro...don't you believe everything you read!

But...going to Ireland has always been on my wish list.

Of course I would like to see a couple of friends in Galway too.
And...maybe one in Cork.

RE: Where do our thoughts come from...?

You mean time is precious Pedro?
Please don't hold your breath for too long as I might die of a heart attack when reaching 100 next month.?

RE: Where do our thoughts come from...?

Omg...I love it when you speak to me in Gaellic Pedro!

You're sure you've spelt it right so I can check the translation?

Just to be sure to be sure!

RE: Where do our thoughts come from...?

Do you think Ireland won't let any old ladies in their country?

RE: Where do our thoughts come from...?

Hey...why not?
They say that "man is as old as he feels and when he stops feeling then he's old!"

As for me...I am as young as the man I'm with makes me feel!

So you think Pedro is up to it?

RE: Where do our thoughts come from...?

Shall I join you Pedro?
I was thinking of visiting your beautiful country..and its beautiful Irish people..

RE: Where do our thoughts come from...?

So do I Pedro.
We need more of these.

RE: Where do our thoughts come from...?

Logical!

RE: Sad But True

I think drugs and alcohol enhance creativity in general Track.

I don't need any substance to be creative and play music as I have other ways of entering such states of consciousness.

Same here...months without rain and now it's all coming down at once.
The town centre is flooded.

Luckily...I live up on a hill...like the fox.
