I'll be honest. I don't want to have this conversation. Not now, not ever. It pisses me off that spirit is not letting this go. But I'm going to give you my unedited take on this situation.
As someone who lives in the thick of this going on around me, amidst the other world crises (some may say managed decline) my opinion hasn't changed one bit.
I am deeply ashamed that we have woke up in a world, where physical places of communion with the spirit of our faith is being targeted, because another faith thinks it's okay. You can usually tell when actual spirit guides you away from situations like this, at least I have never encountered this in my city.
But I'm just going to say it here and now. The number one reason I cannot join a mainstream faith, is not because I don't understand where the people of that faith find peace, nor would I ever wish to take that away from them. It's directly because, that advertisement is unprotected and the vast majority of people do not realize, it only takes a skilled few who exploit this for personal gain, to make you a target.
I thrive in my own inner world. It's the only faith I personally have ever needed or wanted to feel safe, comfortable and alive in my own space. Both inwardly, and outwardly. I would never, ever, wish that to be taken away from anyone else who spirit guides them towards, in any capacity. Be it something I agree with, or not.
Community sites like this, stand on the border of faith interactions. Sites like this, stand on the principle of what's possible when we collectively and unitedly search for peace through our own connections to spirit, rather than using fraud to devalue those of someone else. And as a principle, I would never be someone who would want that for you. Because faith is something I believe you take with you beyond this lifetime, and I want you to know that I would always welcome your spiritual connections to be a place of sacred communion. And not, one of exposed reunions.
Yes faith makes you vulnerable. You're opening up your soul to another. It's a divine personal journey. And I will stand by that no matter what. But this is precisely the reason why the separation of church and state, must be our guiding light in these times. For if you ever feel like you're going to get attacked for who you are, it's nobody's right to tell you off for why you belong in the beliefs, and the faiths that empower and embrace you as spiritual connections.
But that said, I have to say. Any entity that is premature in their notion to disavow other entities from having any influence over their space, I do pray for you and meditate on your ability to grow rather than remain closed in your search for inner being and outer becoming.
You're worth to be something more than a shell to keep souls in, you're worth the experience of your own life journeys as well. And if I stand by anything, it's that entities experiencing equal levels of reincarnation alongside others who follow you be you in a certain vessel, or of a certain form or not, you deserve to have the same right of livelihood we all do as souls. And to keep this in mind, as you explore others who may or may not respect you, but that's on them, not you, if you simply live and let live to this aim.
I wish the best for you, for all faiths, experienced culturally and spiritually, as well as physically if that's your thing. We don't have to put up with reactionary view points as this video implies, because you cannot get along with another's incarnation path. And unfortunately, there are tribalist societies out there that don't know how to properly understand their place in a multifaith society. And I also pray that they learn the knowledge they need, to know we don't have to live under the shadow of war as a collective of people, living a spiritual experience one life at a time.
There is an everlasting peace out there. We just have to ascend to see it from within. that's what the Gnostics believe, and I support my own journey toward such a goal as well, the best I can. I'm sorry our time in this world is so turbulent. We do have the power to change how this effects us over all. This much I do know. Having had extensive contact with entities living far away from here, experiencing their own branded versions of war and peace alike.
You have to believe it in mass, in order to become it for it to last. My thoughts are with you, the innocent, the searching, and the ones seeking belonging. Know healing, know purpose, know truth, and shape your destiny upon the values this provides to you and you alone, but not you only. That's what faith is about.
