I am not a religious person. I was brought up in a religious tradition that just didn’t work for me. It did do one thing. It gave me a  belief in “God.” I use quotes there because “God” is a very loaded word. It means different things to different people. The “God” I was taught to believe in is not the “God” of my understanding today. In the religion I was “raised in,” I was taught to be full of shame, guilt, and fear. I was taught about hell and the devil. If I still believed in all of that stuff, or any of it, I would still be full the of fear of death. As I said, I am not a religious person, but I am a Spiritual one. In fact, the bedrock foundation of my life is built upon my Spiritual Path. I find that the more I focus upon my Spiritual Path, the more peace I experience in my life; the more peace of mind I have; the more joy I experience.

It’s my path. I’m not here to tell you what you should believe, or not believe. That’s up to you. My path is very personal to me. It’s a very intimate part of me. I do suggest that you find Something to believe in, to focus on, to Trust, to have Faith in. Call it whatever you want. Call It God. Call It Goddess. Call It Infinite Love. Call it Creative Cause. Call it Stella, or call it Bubba. It doesn’t really matter what you call it. Just find Something greater than yourself to believe in and trust in. If you really do that, you’ll have a lot less fear about death or anything else.

Love and Light
