Great post.
Intriguing beginning, with a puch filled middle, and an ending that has the potential that all meet change.

What I was stating is that we can outwardly claim to believe in being good, or charitable, or sympathetic; yet, the true belief lies in how we treat one another.

I have found

 that Blogging has made me more open minded towards other religions in ways I hadn't really realised that I was narrow minded about.

I realise now that I picked some of my baggage up off my mother,

Not sure how this applies but as I read your post I thought of the friend who has studied the Bible with me weekly for two years Since I have been exposed to so many beliefs, I find myself open minded which is the reason I agreed to the study. Maybe I don't believe in much of anything. Unfortunately she will never share my ecumenism.

hey Avant

interpretations, belief and truth. this has me thinking .Insights from my experience are based mostly in feeling, and I am extremely sensitive to anything, and feel also I am contagious as much so.A  psychic once said I am like a caravan,  great for experience but beliefs are hard to trust, this is good though, because spiritual understandings are more real now, or all that is real.I am trying, to sort it out and understand.

thanks

I think that
you're right about truth and interaction. I've been dealing with some difficult issues this week but still try and keep to my guide of 'would I like being treated like that?'

Another great post. I'm running out of adjectives to describe your writing . . .

I wrote this to myself, in order to focus on what is real in my own life. I'm glad you could benefit from it.

So well stated!    Brings new meaning to the phrase "actions speak louder than words."  Most especially liked..."beliefs are the windows through which we decide"...spoke to my heart and was a great reminder to me (to look at my actions, and not my words...to "walk my talk.").  For me, when you speak in your postings, the lesson is right in front of my face, you can't avoid it...but it is presented with compassion & love.  Makes it easier for me to accept & start incorporating the spiritual truth into my daily actions (or if already a lesson learned, at least reminds me to not slide backwards).
