You may have come to the realization that you can't answer questions for others. After all,<br />you are "NOT A GURU", remember?<br />People seem to want answers to the<br />countless "whys".<br /><br />I questioned my own "whys", and <br />realized that even if I had the <br />answer, it wouldn't make any<br />difference in how I lived my life.<br /><br />I want to remind you that the venues are there for you, and<br />the voice of God is INSPIRATION.<br /><br />I'm sorry I don't have any questions, because I don't believe<br />there are any absolute answers,<br />only a myriad to choose from.<br /><br />Well, maybe one...<br /><br />Don't we all gravitate to the answers that resonate with us?<br /><br />How do we choose a religion? Would<br />we become a Baptist if we love to<br />dance? Or a Christian Scientist<br />if we need to take insulin? <br /><br />We choose the path or "answer" that<br />resonates, until it doesn't anymore.<br /><br />I look forward to the questions<br />that show up to be pondered, if not<br />answered.Shandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812338717674787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791244652554936.post-13571375094142757752011-09-09T09:44:44.505-07:002011-09-09T09:44:44.505-07:00Oh, full of it as usual, forgot to ask my question...Oh, full of it as usual, forgot to ask my question…if not ours to each other, when god answers, whose lips will he use?Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791244652554936.post-30570379854244882822011-09-09T07:28:21.444-07:002011-09-09T07:28:21.444-07:00My mind is the Energizer Bunny…it never stops. I d...My mind is the Energizer Bunny…it never stops. I don’t get an answer to every question I ponder, but when a good answer comes along, I like to pass it on. I have a hard time feeling connected to a world of people except then, when I hit on an answer that I know moves me ahead one square and I can turn around to a fellow traveler and say: how about this. It doesn’t make me think of myself as wise or a teacher. Just a fellow traveler in a foreign land with a tip from the book of secrets. After all, if the tip is not right for someone, I’m betting they’ll never remember it. <br />When I was in the Middle East last year, an editorial I read lamented the manipulation by the Political Right to inflame fear and mistrust toward Muslims in broad strokes. The point was how easy it is to do, to create fear and loathing in groups of people with one hate speech…but to turn those people back around to truth and understanding, it can only be done one person at a time.<br />So we do need both. Speak out loud and address the crowd and you will reach one part of the brain, the part that can see a new direction. To reach the soul? Most of us have to hold the book in our hands, sort through the symbols and let the abstract thoughts rattle in our brains until the great aha!Debnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791244652554936.post-71896738080730792302011-09-08T18:34:56.504-07:002011-09-08T18:34:56.504-07:00Hey Despina.

I'm not teetering on the same edge as you are right now, and things seem rather murky.<br /><br />I love your blog. It has actually improved over time, becoming more and more honest and the writing more fluid and sincere. From one gut to another. That's enough from me.
