I was thinking about this as I was driving down the highway a while ago and I thought... you know... too bad I can't openly express my spirituality... have to worry about not wearing my pentagram in the public (really small towns here and they would be all 'concerned'... more than already... hehe... may even organize an intervention... rotflmao )... and then I came to the realization as I glanced out across the rocky hills and the beautiful land-scape... I CAN express my spirituality and people WILL feel it... I just don't have to openly lable it... and wont (except to those who I trust). I thought... there are alot of really great hearts and great people around here... some are very mislead and some are just outright hateful and don't realize it but why should I let that bother me? Kinda distracting from my path, actually.
However, this is what I am referring to (and NOS, this is the only problem or conflict that I have with your post)... it shouldn't HAVE to be done in private... as long as you are not impeding on anyone else's rights. I feel unsafe practicing publicly. Many of the things that I believe in are not at ALL accepted by the public and would look very strange to them and I may even be labled (officially...hehe) as completely crazy and perhaps not even fit to care for my children so it is a very deep fear. But I guess that these things are not particularly new... and perhaps there is a reason for discretion and secrecy... |
well, i think your right mostly, the thing is with me and NOS, for example, there's an agression that is completely, natural..not speaking for him right now, just that there are certain elements of being that are predatory, and i think there is strong evidence that this is much of how things work with what we call "nature", not all of it but sometimes this world, or certain places within it, do not accomodate these "traits" as they may have at other times...i guess mainly in the past, and the way things are heading i'd venture to say in the future
but NOS and i part ways on two levels, his disdain for anything remotely not rational or extra sensitive to public testamonial is strange to me, now i understand defending your beliefs, but he diesnt understand that with funky uncle, for instance, it is not really disputable, that this IS for him, and he believes it would be the same for others, all others...i dont see where hearing that, or those who believe that are any threat to our selves, simply by speaking, or public displays...
SANcHEZ just posted something I needede to see, made it big so as not to forget
other then that i try to regulate, and it takes quite a conscious effort, on my part...and fail at times, well many times really

that post in that thread was pure B.S and ego, it meant nothing, was needless & mean..only a natural born asshole would not realize that BEFORE he posted
now i can honestly say i got no idea what I AM
but it sure has something to do with animals, forrests planets and heavens
and growing seasons
and women

maybe, but there is NO reason for persecution
didnt you post something regarding religous freedom before only there was some involvement of politics
i'm questioning honestly about that, and i had totally forgot about it till now
