I like to keep myself open to whatever arises in my field of direct experience.  For this, I subscribe to the Soto Zen practice.  Shamanism believes this... Scientology believes that... Christianity thinks this... Judaism thinks that...  The reason I like Zen is because it asks, "Well, what do you think?"

Just a note, I love this forum.  I would rate it +5 if I could (can I?)  So many views, so many opinions, all beautiful. :laugh: 

:heart:Peace:heart:

I am in the middle of figuring out myself. Im trying to get over the brainwashing my parents put in my head with christian churches.
I loved dogma, that was the best movie.
I guess im pagan, neo-pagan, or whatever you want to call it. Even tho i dont live in the woods. (pagana will understand this)

None, religion creates division between humans, giving the ego a boost!

But the closest would be Taoism...

Peace & Love,

--------------------
Bill Hicks speaks of his experience on shrooms :-

I realised our true nature is spirit not body, that we are eternal beings and God?s love is unconditional and there is nothing we can ever do to change that; it is only our illusion that we are separate from God or that we are alone. In fact the reality is that we are one with God & he loves us. Now if that isn?t a hazard to this country? you see my point. How are we gonna keep building nuclear weapons, what?s gonna happen to the arms industry when we know we?re all one? ..You can see why the government?s cracking down on the idea of experiencing unconditional love.

I'm an agnostic theist, but regarding the importance of existence of god i'm non-theist.

I have no religion though ...

Religion is a dead theory. Science is the fact of the age. I'm glad I was raised atheist, after having studied religion for a while.

For me, Buddhism is the ideal way of acting and behaving, my philosophy you could say. But I do believe that there are many gods - devas - and among them Shiva is the one that especially protects me. The gods exist, but our senses are mostly insufficient to perceive their existence, like an insect crawling over your hand could never tell it´s crawling over the hand of a human being, just some warm, soft surface, as it thinks :wink:

Gnostic is a decent description,seeker of knowledge and truth.I believe most religions (at least at their conception) were basically the same type of para-normal experience with different cultural descriptions.

my religion is an ongoing psychosis that I AM somehow intimately connected to EveryThing in a manner i cannot readily explain.
i don't really want to explain it, and fear the idea.
because explaining it would somehow bring it all to some kind of pinnacle moment of history.

i was deeply involved with Thelema all my life.
the goal of Thelema is essentially to create your own religion.
because of the fact that no two people can ever occupy the exact same spacetime(except during sex), no two people can actually ever see anything the exact same way.

and this is why organized religion is so faulty.
we may all adhere to similar behavior patterns, but each of us is a tiny tiny bit different, and that fact is often neglected by zealots.

after studying the religions of the world, and practicing some of them, i could never believe in any of them or follow them without some evidence.
and my evidence came in the form of looking at my own personal visions of things and finding similarities between my own experiences, and ancient myths.

in the process i found that my own heart most clearly resounds with the story of Jesus & Mary. And the stories of Zion.
i'm aware of egyptian archetypes and don't feel the need to think in those terms much.
i feel close with Demeter & Persephone.

some could call me a pagan technically, because i believe in a Goddess, and i worship womanhood. except the way i look at it, i'm doing the same thing christ asked us to do, but no one is willing to accept that womanhood is the holy grail.
there is nothing mysterious about manhood.
all mystery resolves itself through womanhood.
in my religion we believe that if a man and woman both understand womanhood and they come together in love and holy matrimony, it heals the globe. it stops hurricanes.
and children are the most precious thing of all, they are close with God as infants, and they have alot to teach us... but nobody is listening.

My core beliefs are old school southern Baptist, allowing for Jewish roots and paranormalism, conditionally. 

I hiked with a dorky, Ichabod-Crane-looking pastor on a mountain top, who later told the church that I was a witch.

In my dreaming and imagination (I keep them distinct from consensus, waking reality) his veil or barrier was very thin.

I don't believe that the truth in any matter can be hidden from a determined-enough person.
