I am on a new spiritual journey. One in which I barely know the rules of conduct because there are none - except that which beckons the nature of love. Loving oneself, loving one another, loving the world. It is a walk of love, yet it is a metaphysical walk. It is understanding the world from a new perspective. One in which the Bible is deciphered in a new way. The way in which people of that time and origin spoke - in parables, allegories, and stories. The people of Biblical times followed an Oriental tradition that engaged others indirectly and with stories rich with meaning, but not so literal.
I find this reading of the Word to make more sense. The Bible is fantastical otherwise. It is hard to grasp how I can do more than Jesus unless I own the divinity within me. It is easier to understand God as an absolute love rather than a judgmental and punishing person. God is Spirit and he lives within us all. That much is the same. But that divinity in me is a "creator" of reality as I know it. This divine spark has the potential to create my circumstances and life based on thoughts and feelings and words that I speak.
My new spiritual journey is one of great faith, but also one of great peace. I am renewed in my mind as I study these new principles. I am freer than I've ever been knowing that I am not a sinner, but am inherently good. We all are. Evil is not an entity, but rather the departure from the truth. For the truth is love and goodness.
