Faith..... is there just one?!

No, I believe its as such.... And here's why.... (Just my view)

Have been thinking on a subject that is close to my heart and own personal Spirit.

Over the Last several years, from the beginning of the Temple, there has been an underlying turmoil that I have meditated on many times and in my own path, prayed upon. Even more so in the last several weeks. Two of my favorite sayings are:

Faith is daring the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see...

Faith is a journey, not a guilt trip...

Strangely enough, recently I was watching a Movie, "Beautiful Creatures" and felt there was what I have been meditating on to keep in my own life and to share with others. And this is they line that caught my attention....

God created all things, didn't he. It's only Man that goes and decides which ones are mistakes.....

Now with that being said. Many, like myself have a personal view and I am not saying the Word God is absolute because I have learned over the Years that it means something else in another's Heart and Mind. Whether it be The Force, Higher power, God, etc.... It's the underlined part that I bring to view for us all. Because as Jedi this is only one view but can mean many things.

Faith is just that, Faith. doesn't have to be religious or scientific. It is how one perceives something to follow, believe in or philosophize in.

Faith is daring the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see...
Faith is a journey, not a guilt trip...

Quiet your emotions to find inner peace.
Learn from ignorance to foster knowledge.
Enjoy your passions but be immersed in serenity.
Understand the chaos to see the harmony.
Life and death is to be one with the Force.

 

For today I serve so that tomorrow I may serve again.

One step, One Vow, One Moment...

Too always remember it is not about me....

    "It's only man that decides which ones are mistakes". Aptly put quote.

    True indeed, could be said another way: "The 'Goddess' created all things, didn't 'she'.It's only Man that goes and decides which ones are 'correct'."
    :-)
    Just another point of view.
    Thank you for sharing this.

    I see it as one.It is whatever you perceive it to be. It is yours alone.

    Each individual will probably have a different view in any given faith.

    As an individual you create your own universe it can be as big or small as you like.

    If I might suggest another view.. All things are connected through the Force..Everything is made of atoms...Atoms are made of quarks..Quarks are made of the Force..This view allows the believer to believe in whatever diety they wish and still believe that one may have a spiritual connection through the Force...You could say that a deeper connection with the Force will bring you closer to that god or goddess..

    This reminded me of something I shared with my wife about how I interpret my belief in the Force into the language of her religion. It goes something like this: "We are all one. The Universe is the "one word", therefore we are the word of God, and nothing can separate us except the illusion that we are separated... Be at peace for we are all one in the same, the word of the Almighty." Some of it could be revised for clarity because, well... you decide for yourself. Love it. :)

    It is up to us to decide what is right from wrong. We can believe in more than one faith at a time and that is just defining who we really are.
