About Me	Everything is connected and we must never forget, nor doubt that fact. Everything we do, say, think, or feel will affect something, or everything in one way, or another. As the study of Quantum Physics develops I believe there will be a new epiphany related to spirituality, existentialism and eternal life as the study will bring scientific credence to these beliefs. I want to make a difference in my life, but yet "do no harm." Anything is possible and if we doubt our possibilities we will never reach our full potential in this life. I am an emotional-sensative type person who can still be very rational and focused. I value relationships and find it difficult when those relationships are not returned in the same. I hate the "too busy" excuse with others and see this as simply avoidance, or apathy. Nothing worthwhile is attained by doing nothing! I am a very "spiritual person" and a very spiritual thinker. I definitely believe in God as a creator, I believe that everything is connected whether it is past, present, or future. I believe that pure Love-Goodness is the major force of energy both inside and outside of ourselves; some would relate this to a soul, or holy spirit. I believe that this pure love within us is primarily our "spirit", or soul. LIVING; I believe that we are born to experience, learn and to achieve certain accomplishments in our lifetime. Those can be emotional or spiritual lessons which in the end lead us to "inner serenity" within ourselves. Biblically, I believe that is our creator's intent to provide experiences in our life which result in our attaining all the "gifts of the Holy Spirit; love, joy, peace, patience, discernment, teaching, etc.' I believe that when we achieve all these basic qualities within our spirit, we move on to "heaven", or another form of existence which we as limited human beings are now unable to comprehend. If we don't achieve those spiritual attributes an accomplishments we are possibly returned to this life to "try again until we get it right." In the Bible we are taught about "angels." I believe that once we all achieve these fruits, attributes, positive qualities we will move on to another energy plane as "angel like," spiritual energy where we continue to have spiritual growth in other ways that again, we cannot even comprehend as human beings. The end result being that our perfect-positive energy will eventually join the creator, or "heaven" as perfect energy. From our beginning I do believe that "everything is connected." I believe our basic connection is to God which is perfect energy, perfect love and we are totally connected to him just as any cell is connected to the body. Only in this case God is the Infinite Existence which we are attached to. I think it very vane to believe that this would only occur for us as humans. I believe that "anything with living energy" is connected also, just at some different level. I believe that "prayer," meditation, or any conscious attempt at communication with the creator is not only heard, but also felt with a perfect awareness to each of us. I believe that every human has the capacity to communicate and experience a relationship with the energy around us which includes those lives who have now "crossed over." The only hindrance to that ability would be a true belief that this is impossible and/or the fear of obtaining that communication. If you look at all the philosophical beliefs in all the religions of the world you will find a definite concurrence and a connection with each of our own beliefs. The vocabulary may be different, the beliefs different forms, but the themes all the same. Again, I truly believe that if you can fully believe and feel that "anything is possible" your abilities and capabilities, percept...(read more)
