| I am a spiritual (not religious) person who collects | | | | real. |
| religions and celebrates God wherever It is to be | | | | It's not that what you believe isn't what you get |
| found. That one sentence is enough to make the | | | | when you die-you absolutely do...until you wake up to |
| brainwashed religious dogma people go apoplectic. | | | | what is real. Since Time doesn't really exist out there, |
| Before I get nasty emails from the clueless hordes, | | | | that could take anywhere from a second to several |
| allow me to first explain that I have an extensive | | | | earth lifetimes. Imagine the shocked expressions on |
| religious background. When anyone inquires as to my | | | | the faces of those who think they have entered |
| religion I get to giggle first before launching into the | | | | The Pearly Gates and been accepted by St. |
| definition of my particular brand of belief systems: | | | | Peter...and then discover that it is all a facade hidden |
| ". | | | | in the recesses of the non-local mind. |
| Raised Roman Catholic by very devout parents, | | | | What is really real is more incredible than most can |
| brought up in a family enclave of equally devout | | | | even start to imagine. The Creator of all we |
| aunts, uncles and grandparents, I am the family | | | | experience is not some old guy with a white beard |
| anomaly. My education included attending Catholic | | | | sitting on a throne in the clouds. Our Creator is |
| school and then Catechism classes that ended in | | | | constantly expanding and the really exciting thing |
| Confirmation. Oh yeah, and marriage in an Episcopalian | | | | about that is that we are all a part of It. We are so |
| church...and then by a Justice of the Peace...and then | | | | much more than we have been led to believe. Why? |
| by a priest friend who was a prison chaplain (no I | | | | --because the rulers didn't want the masses to think |
| was not in prison and neither was my husband). | | | | for themselves. |
| Along the way, the six Near Death Experiences | | | | So here we are now, in a big mess, thanks to those |
| changed my beliefs pretty drastically. Once you have | | | | selfish rulers, who didn't know as much as they |
| stood out in the Cosmos with the one we call Jesus | | | | thought they did. The good news: it is not too late |
| Christ, or melted into Bliss upon reaching the | | | | for us. Put on the thinking cap of the non-local mind |
| furthermost edges of the brilliant Light of the Great | | | | (the real mind that thinks the thoughts that pop up in |
| Mystery, religious dogma just doesn't make the cut. | | | | our brains) and look into what is real. |
