A Personal Philosophy Of Religion
Atwater Vitki replied to williamsadler53's topic in Philosophy & Theory
Like a lot of folks here, I've read so many "books" on the subjects of Spirituality, The Universe, metaphysics, religion, paranormal, philosophical and physical roles and places etc. it's sometimes difficult to remember which one said what....but, I do agree with you (and Fawzo) who routinely remind us about fear being humanity's motivator behind so many aspects of our Lives. In one of those books mentioned above, I recall the author saying (paraphrased): that the numerous inhabited planets of sentient life across the Universe, each one has a base idealism/philosophy/emotion to teach us. Perhaps Earth and it's particular role in the Universe is to teach fear? I think it would almost be a sure sign of insanity to dismiss fear on this planet, we are inundated with it nearly every moment of our lives. When I remember the truly hard core "fear instances" in my life, before and after it's so easy to think of how I'd do things differently. Yet, when in that moment, the pounding heart, muddle brain and rattled psyche, to remember to reach out with Love, well let's just say it hasn't happened so far. Maybe once I do so my purpose will be accomplished here?? The absolute worst feeling about fear is the helplessness a person feels. I think back to two (of several) situations; the drug crazed thug in my home in Willow Creek and the young punks pulling a grab and run home invasion, a year and a half ago, here. Under "normal" or "other" circumstances, perhaps I would have been on the ball enough to reach out with love, compassion and put unity above all else. But I didn't. I allowed their actions to "make me forget" Unity, which may not be their fault, but was certainly their underlying intention. Yes, I allowed their intention to override my better sense of judgment, so I put these situations, and others, fully on Self as needing the work or remembering refresher. And therein lay the difference, imho. Some folks will "blame" the person who caused a situation for all the emotional distress that comes along with intense emotional crisis (such as: home invasions, car accidents, robberies, illness, fights, etc etc) and not take responsibility for their own forgetfulness of Unity. But we truly can't speak for or help others now can we? All we can do is take each situation in life as it comes and apply our own understanding and sensibility to it. I truly hope before my days are up here on Earth, I am able to remember Unity above all else...'cause one thing is for dang sure...I don't want to have and repeat the lessons taught on this fear filled planet!!

A Personal Philosophy Of Religion
Atwater Vitki replied to williamsadler53's topic in Philosophy & Theory
Unity is a wonderful concept, one I also believe to be of the highest order. From the book The Last Great Initiate: "To the soul which comes from heaven, birth is a death," Empedocles had said 500 years B. C. "However sublime the spirit be, once imprisoned in flesh, it temporarily loses the remembrance of all its past; once engaged in corporal life, the development of its earthly consciousness is subjected to the laws of the world in which it incarnates. It falls under the force of the elements. The higher its origin, the greater will be the effort to regain its dormant powers, its celestial innateness, and to become conscious of its mission." This 'remembering' as it were, follows with Unity. Regardless of our individual origin, high, low or somewhere in between, regaining Unity between and with ALL is our primary goal. Some of us are very conscious about this, some not...but in the long run, it really doesn't matter does it? We'll still contribute what we are suppose to by Divine Will. Unity can not be separated from its purpose. Blessings of Peace, -

Our Neighbor
Atwater Vitki replied to Atwater Vitki's topic in Good Wishes, Gratitude, Blessings and Prayers
Update: Ray was taken to hospital Friday night and passed away due to complications of a massive coronary Saturday morning. I just heard about this this morning on my walk. Our continued prayers for Violet are sincerely needed as she is obviously besides herself in grief. Blessings of Healing, PS: Of course, this is not the end result of most cases, but these are the unfortunate tertiary events that result from criminal actions. Frankly, imnsho, if lawyers can bring up all the far removed nonsense they did in the Zimmerman case, then the schmuck that beat and raped Ray's granddaughter should be held on charges of negligent homicide for his death. -
On top of welcoming you to the forum, as a follower of Nordic Old Ways, I would very much enjoy exchanging ideas and theories regarding Druidism and it's "cousin" up north. In 30+ years of research, I have found numerous similarities and always enjoy the discussion! Blessings Be, Al
