Random Insights and Observations
~Religions are fighting (and have been forever, it seems) over the messenger and not the message. All of the men who inspired religious movements spoke the same essential "Truth". If the message is essentially the same, then who gives a damn which religious tradition is "correct"?
~~Modern Christianity focuses on morality
~~Islam focuses on purity
~~Judaism focuses on salvation

`
`
~~If "It" is the whole of Creation,
~~And I am a part of Creation,
~~Then "It" is a part of me,

`
`
~~You didn't make a mistake
~~You created a learning opportunity.
~~Don't be afraid to make mistakes
~~Just make sure to learn the lessons.

~~But how can you know the center,
~~Until you've been to the outer limits?
