Serious Discussions about Life
injest:
yes, Daniel
for some reason the ideas I see in Native American spirituality really speak to me. Seems very comforting.
I like the idea of working toward being in harmony, that you have some control over your circumstances. Even if part of that control is realizing and accepting that some things ARE beyond your control.
You have heard of the prayer:
Lord, grant me the Strength to change that which I can change;
the Grace to accept that which I can not change;
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

I love Touching Spirit Bear, Ben Mikaelsen's YA novel about Circle Justice.

it is hard to find anything on Spirituality that is not so hard to understand. People start writing and forget that you have to be accessible before you can teach. If your reader has to use a dictionary for every other word or do research about each phrase....you lose most of your audience.
(which is what Daniel has been saying for several pages and I just 'got') ;)
Shasta542:
"Touching Spirit Bear" is very understandable. I understood it--so there ya go. I'm not too deep! :P
Daniel:
I know what you're going through, Jess. The Divine Milieu was particularly difficult for me, but I managed to get through it. What a mental workout that was. I had to read every sentence three to four times (out loud), before I finally understood what it was saying. But I'm glad I did. It's a beautiful and intriguing philosophy on life, the universe, and everything that fits in well with what I didn't know I already believed.
And if you think that statement is slightly confusing, you're probably right.
