Sharing My Daily Quote from Abraham-Hicks.com

Everyone doesn't have to be the same. Most say,"Well, it's so much easier if we're all the same." And we say, it is not easier when you're all the same; conformity is the thing that thwarts you most. That massive wanting to get you to conform - to all think the same way and want the same things - is what is causing the revolt that is happening within you. You are determined to be freedom-seekers in a Mass Consciousness society that is determined to make you the same.

This was too good not to share. It sums up the way I feel about a lot of things be it religion, politics, or anything else for that matter.

There Are No Right or Wrong Paths, Just Different

Physical man gets into an uncomfortable place when he concludes, "I and those like me have come to the right decisions, and everybody that's living outside of these right decisions is wrong." And then he spends his life pushing against all those "wrong" decisions and cutting himself off from the Life Force that would help him have joy in his, what he concludes to be, right decisions. There is no one right path. There are endless paths, and the differences in the paths are what make them more and more, and more, perfect. The same old path no longer serves.

**************

I receive these daily quotes via email and this one really resonated with me today. Probably because the majority of people I grew up with still push their beliefs onto others in this same way. Whether or not they say it out loud, I know deep down they feel they are right and everyone else is wrong. I personally don’t believe that way and find myself pushing against organized religions for this very reason. That being said, I know the quote above refers to many things, not just religious beliefs.

My English Roots Are Showing

Ever since moving to Atlanta, GA 16 years ago I have had to defend why I leave my Christmas decorations up until the end of twelfth night which is technically Jan 5th - morning of Jan 6th.

It's been a pet peeve of mine why southerners always take their tree down the day after Christmas. They go so far as to believe it is bad luck having any Christmas decorations what so ever in sight when ringing in the New Year.

Being that I was raised by an English mother my traditions are the exact opposite of my neighbors. So in my own defense I went in search of the true meaning of 12th night. Read with an open mind and learn.

However I do believe it is every one's right to celebrate this personal holiday as they see fit as long as it doesn't infringe upon the rights of others. So with that said and a smile on my face I will continue to turn on my Christmas lights every night all the way up till Jan 5th!

My Take on Religion in a Nutshell

Growing up the youngest of 10 in a Mormom household definitely wasn't a cake walk. The journey from there to where I am today has been interesting to say the least. Even as a very young girl there were many things about the mormon faith that never felt quite right for me. To this day I have several family members who are still a part of it and I do love them very much, however we have just agreed to disagree on our religious views.

I recenlty read a Q&A post from Dan Milman that resonated to the very core of my being and I can not say it better then he did in his post. He describes his religious affliation this way. "I feel at home in, and have respect for, the heart of every religion. I embrace all transcendent teachings. Religion calls us to our highest ideals and points us toward the Light at the center of Creation."

This is exactly how I feel on the subject of organized religion! I could not have said it better myself. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!
