God is like a big elephant. One religion is so close to God all it can see is its floppy ear, another religion sees the trunk, and yet another its massive leg, etc.... each one will describe God either like an elephant's ear, trunk, leg, etc. Step back and simply experience God and you will see the whole elephant. quote:
It isn't about faith or belief, it's about how you act. Belief is not required as much as proper action. quote:
be a blessing to others when you can be grateful for your blessings. try to do no harm. treat others as you wish to be treated. be the first to apologize when an apology is needed live to have no regrets remember the 3 R's - respect for self, respect for others, take Resposibility for your actions. what they said. i'm muslim - specifically sunni and i follow the hanafi school of law. i also have a huge affinity with sufism but haven't been initiated into any particular order. my pagan (mainly celtic reconstructionist)/buddhist (mainly tibetan...initiated into the drikung kagyu lineage but i have some training in theravadin meditation as well) past has kind of stuck on me, though. master is theravadin. a'ishah.
