Everything about me has a spiritual center...

This certainly a far cry from my early days of actually wanting to enter a formal theological ministry with a Christian base. In fact, these two stages of my life have no commonality any longer.

This is a great thread Nat! Thanks for starting this.

Reincarnation: Yes, I believe in it. For me, I believe that I must have been some nasty, evil, biomale who abused people. So in order for me to move forward in the after life, I have to correct/fix the past mistakes. However, I do believe that I was killed/murdered in my past life. Hence I have tbi, asperger's and everything that goes with that, and a body that betrays me each and every day. Nothing can come close to my hell on earth. So, that leaves me with the thinking that I must have been a horrible person in my prior life. I must have been too busy for those who needed me. Now I am in a situation where I have time, but few folks who do care.

I believe that everyone and every thing has a center or being. And we all are intertwinned within each other. It's destiny. There are no mistakes in life. Everything happens for a reason, good and horrible.

There are many many layers of reality as we know of them. Some people are awake and know what I mean, and then there are some who have no clue as to what it is. It's perception that's all. For example, if I go with Dino on a hiking trip and I take Nate with me. We both may look at the same log cabin and he will hate it and say it looks like a tepee or wigwam from an era long ago. I will say no it's a log cabin that has been taken over by brush, animals, insects, and the aging process. Who is right? Who is wrong? Nobody. We all have different perceptions. There are no right or wrong answers in life. We just have to strive to be in tune with the reality and dimension that we are interacting with. Make sense?

I believe that once someone understands and accepts certain things, the universe becomes an entirely new dimension. A new respect for the living comes about. The universe does talk to each of us. We just have to be open to listening to it.

Namaste,
Andrew

Good question Nat;

I am inbetween tasks right now but want to write a bit when I have some time later today.

I have a friend of mine who told me this saying, and it sticks with me all the time. She told me this some time ago when my sister was dying. She said that if you draw a circle - not a heart - around the ones you love. Hearts can be broken, but circles go on forever. I really never gave any thought to that until recently. She was very right. And it applies to all relationships.
