God is our best understanding of the supreme reality; God is reachable. Prayer to God sets us apart and is a vital aspect to my spiritual journey which is often lacking.
Celebrate the common people and strive to understand the human condition.
People understand (to a degree) justice and morality naturally.
There has been a coverup at the deepest layers of religion geared towards directing people towards certain principles, beliefs, or behaviors. Love has not been hidden from mankind.
I sometimes believe I have a special place in the cosmic universe. This is not of sober mind, my private reality and real life is chock full of failure. The best I can do is learn from past mistakes when I realize them and try to be useful in everyday life going forward.
When a disgraceful and terrible thing happens to someone we pray that it it is known, that fairness and justice will persist on a greater scale for all people, and that their memory or legacy is not lost. The legacy of the people I have known includes their profound faith and my continuation to participate in life in a Christ-centered way.
By Christ-centered I mean sacrifice for others, healing the sick, celebrating the common man, balancing justice & mercy, and experiencing both the darkness and the light for the purposes of resisting and transforming evil towards the light. These things are all associated with the biblical story of Jesus.
When I am of sober mind, my heart should be breaking. That does not mean not to laugh or appreciate life, but it means when I am joyous that I am either delirious, or enjoying a personal moment.
I choose to live a serious life with more moments deep in thought and intent, more times spent fasting and resisting food that is not a celebration of life, and more often honoring those I love. I pray that if I get away from these intentions that I am reminded of my spiritual commitments.
There are vital moments in life that allow us to be more free from our own shadow. In a sense we can release shadow elements, or karma, or baggage, or past by unhooking or unscrewing ourselves from the dense situations we are tied to in this reality. While unhooked or released from that density, it is important to be grounded or to return to ground. Mental, spiritual and physical grounding is as vital to freedom as is unhooking or releasing from shadow elements in our life.
