I appreciate the work you're doing. Get well soon!

I'd like to know.

You in the Midwest, too?

You're free to feel that way. However, if that's what you really believe(and if so, no problem), coming in and telling people(unless you're super close with them, and they're fairly thick skinned) "you need to address the error of your ways" is likely to get an unfavorable response, and make it...

I honestly don't see the 'echo chamber'. I see a lot of folks with differing opinions. Just because someone has reached a different conclusion than yours doesn't mean they're in error. I, personally, don't see Jesus as God(indeed, Jesus is not a prominent figure in my daily faith). But I...

I partook the Ramadan fast one year, along with my husband, just to see what it was like. It was honestly really hard. And I'm not a stranger to fasting. I suspect it was how prolonged it was. We have done the Navaratri fast for quite a few years now. It can be complex, but you are very...

I went a summer without a bathroom. My biggest complaint was the stairs and lack of water. My bedroom was upstairs, so I had to go down the stairs to get outside to pee. If I had a room at ground level, I don't think I'd care. Going weeks without access to a bath/shower was smelly, too. If...

We're opposites! :D

I've rubbed elbows with the Theosophists more than I cared to, and I know exactly what you mean. I've felt downright insulted at some of their attitudes. Its like a group of them just ran through and cherry picked what they liked out of world religions and then gave themselves credit. And if...

I think there's more out there that make no mention of Jesus. While there are are some Guru types that do, there are probably more Eastern movements that don't. I think the "self improvement" part is the catch... Are we being offered a religion or self improvement? If its a religion, I feel...

I'd do it. Plumbing is nice, but the ability to live in a more natural way would be nicer. (Despite the name 'George', I am a woman.) I think where I'd struggle would be solitude. I'm not a loner. No toilet? Whatever. No people... meh. I'd need an off grid community to make it work for...

I love this. I often see the world's religions as all seeing God/s through another lens...

I thought it was a cap at first.

There was a church nearby I thought was a bus garage, until I met someone who went there...

In an ideal situation, I worship in a beautiful but small temple 2 hours from here. Its built in South Indian style, and is a Balaji temple, but has shrines for Rama(and family), Radha/Krishna, Shiva, Parvati, Karttikeya, Ganesh, Durga, Saraswati, Lakshimi, and Swami Narayana. A small service...

Reminds me of the Irish Wisdom triads... https://sejh.pagesperso-orange.fr/keltia/version-en/triads-en.html
