What I Believe.
Topic: LOVE
This post is written by Jenny.

I don't belong to any church. I thought I had found one that I could relate to, but I was mistaken. That's okay, I feel closer to my creator at this point in my life than I have ever before. I would like a community, but it's unlikely I'll find a group that believes what I believe, or at the very least allows me to believe what I believe. Then I started thinking, what IS it that I believe? So, here is an incomplete list of what my spiritual beliefs are. I refer to the Divine in many ways in my blog and in my life, both genders. I do this because I do not believe that God is any one thing, any one type of being. Some of the names I use when I think of God (but surely not all the names there are): All That Is; I Am; Spirit; the Universe; Allah; the Great Spirit. Personally, I don't think God cares if you call him Fred, so long as you call. You know what I mean?
I reserve the right to alter or add to these beliefs as my evolution warrants. These are in no particular order. I believe...

1. ...that all living things have a soul. All. Each soul is on a different step of the karmic wheel. I don't believe in heaven or hell as physical places... they are manifestations of what we believe. In other words, everyone is right and everyone is wrong. Invariably, someone will ask me at this point, "Well... what about Hitler? Isn't he in hell?" Probably, but my idea of what hell would be differs from many. Being a conscious soul manifested in the lifespan of a rock... that would be hell, waiting for the physical body of that rock to disintegrate/die over thousands of years possibly, all alone, knowing that I am a being of Light but indebted karmically to be this rock until I am no longer. Think about it... how long does it take to evolve from a rock to Mother Teresa? I'm thinking since the beginning of time.
2. ...in reincarnation. I believe that we reincarnate in other places, as well as earth. We continue to "come back" until we have experienced ourselves completely as God.
3. ...We are all God. The collective consciousness of all living things is God. Literally, his children... like a giant sun and we're all solar flares... we burst out, do our thing, and come back to the source.
4. ...in Jesus. I believe he was the son of God, but not in the way that is taught. We are all sons/daughters of God and Jesus was the perfect example of that. I also believe that Jesus was Elijah and Moses... the same soul.
5. ...the bible is a holy book, but it is not the only one and there are some being currently written. I believe that God talks to all of us, if we are quiet with ourselves long enough to listen. That little voice??? Yeah, that's God.
6. ...in angels and guides and that they will tell you their name if you ask them. I believe in faeries and spirits and life on other planets.
7. ...the only thing we have to do is Love and the rest follows. Love creates Light. I am the Light and the Way.
8. ...that for every soul on earth there is a unique path that leads to God. There is no wrong religion. There is no way to not go back to God... No way. Some of us will take much longer than others, some are already there, some have been there and back. It's all in what your soul has decided (free will) as far as experiencing itself. How can we know God in ourselves if we have not known what is not God?
9. ...the soul has no limitations. None. I know that if you call on a soul with whom you had a Love relationship in life (say of a family member), that they are instantly with you. The trick is to open yourself up to receive them, completely. I know this.
10. ...that we are all One, in a literal sense, some of us are more sensitive and can actually feel that one-ness; some of us are not ready to awaken; some of us understand but choose to not awaken. All is just as it should be. Even the crap of life is just as it should be, for I have chosen it in some way, as I truly am... a living spirit.

Here's the beautiful thing about my beliefs... they do not depend on your faith in them to be true. They are my truth. You have yours and it is just as true as mine. In your truth, your eternity, I probably burn in hell. That's cool (heh... not hot, get it?!). See I know it all turns out alright, The Universe told me.

Yes, she did.
