My Conception of Spirituality

I am a spiritual being that does not adhere to any one religion.  I read an assortment of texts from several different religions.  I take what I need and leave the rest.  Here is a quote that sums up my feeling about religion vs. spirituality:

Religion is for people who’re afraid of going to hell. Spirituality is for those who’ve already been there.” —Vine Deloria, Sioux

I believe in the power of prayer and meditation, but I do not pray to any particular god.

I believe I need to be resolutely open to change in my self and others, and the world around me.

I believe I need to be in sync with and care for my environment from my home, to my office, and out anywhere in the world that I may travel.

I believe I need to care for my body since it is the vessel for my soul.

I believe that fear and resentment are spiritual disease.

I believe that you are entitled to believe what you want, and that you do not need to agree with my views.
