YOU

I am what I shall coin myself as, as a "democratic spiritualist", I believe in contradictions of approach, and conflicting truths, multiple truths that like aspects of a mountain are approached with potentially different paths which all still get one to the same peak with different or similar points of view...I believe all religions are like their own language but the spiritual, is like a glass of water, no matter what the language is that we use to define the miracle of being, it nourishes our spiritual thirst and is what it is...I believe in Philosophy, I believe in rational attempts to improve faith, I believe in the rights of minority religions and new Religions, as long as they do not exploit their members and enter into cults that banish critical thought...I believe in Buddha, I believe in Jesus, I believe in every Hindu God, every African God, every pantheon since time immemorial, I believe in Yahveh, the Jewish faith, the way of the Bahai, all aboriginal religions, I believe in prophecy, I believe in Science, I believe every mythology and ancient religion, I believe in Muhammad, I believe in Guru Nanek and the ten successor Gurus, in all gurus, I believe in every arhat, sufi, swami, yogi, the mystics, the shamans of all cultures, spiritualists of most all truly valid creeds, and the plight of every saint, the significance of agnostics and atheists contribution to testing my faith, and as a philosophically robust Buddhist thinker, I support the ritual associated with independence of thought to guide independence of insight, I believe in belief, I believe in faith, I believe in the rights of all people, the just approaches we must take in life, and all metaphysical inquiry into the status of our potential and personal harmony as dictated by conscience, civil maturity, experiment and exploration, forgiveness of enemies and trespassers, and forgiving ourselves, I believe in psychology, an anthropology of the spiritual, empirical and speculative, the right to heal in our culturally exploratative ways, I believe in optimal weal, with health and wealth for all, I believe in YOU!
