Faith Begins...
What would bring one
to the conviction there
must be more to life than
just existing - or, for that
matter, the possibility
of the existence of a
higher power?
If you are not a moral being
simply not believing in good
or evil, right or wrong, one
would not consider any
religious path.
On the other hand, one can be
a just person without any
religious influences.
In every person's life, sooner or
later, you are confronted with
a cross-road. It might be forced
upon us by a forceful experience
or a gentle realisation.
Whichever way...
My cross-road came as a powerful
hurricane
destroying everything imaginable
in its path,
during this process I realised I
do conceive of
myself as a moral being,
therefore there must
be a power behind the good and
righteous.
The universe fits together in a
unified, harmonious way.
Once I stopped listening to the
lies my mind's been telling
me, I made peace with the fact
that whatever my limited
concept of a god might be, there
is something there:
A force, an energy that holds
everything together.
This force is part of the
universe, therefore a part of me.
And so, faith begins...
Yes, I believe in the origin of everything as an intelligent, loving energy, also described as an Awareness the permeates everything in existence - and thus I respect any depiction of this energy - whether as a Light or a God - there is an awareness in possession of time forwards and backwards - and it is great to know it! Warmest regards, Marilese
