New Year Spiritual Focus

Do you have a new goal on your spiritual path? Plan to study a new path/religion? Which one? Get more involved in your current one? Join a new church/temple? Set aside special spiritual time for meditation or prayer or ritual?

Can you sum up in a sentence or two your spiritual year of 2004? What do you HOPE to say at the end of this year, looking back, about 2005?

I am not a member here. My goals are to remember all that
I know about love and allowing the best to come into my life.
We are all one but Hitler doesn't have to be my best friend.(:- )
More acceptance, more attempts to meditate, more time in
my loft, my spiritual place, more time with my tarot and angel cards.
To cultivate friendships with like minded folks.
I was wondering what my spiritual accomplishments were for 2004 and
It hit me, helping my brother thru his death was probably #1.
Making space from my X manfriend is allowing more new to enter my
life. Each took courage.
I have a new grandson to love. There are challenges with the parents
that are there to teach me more about loving people for themselves.
Guess that is it. Love, Leila

Wow, gypsy, super question!

Well, if you read the reply to you I just made, 2004 was a banner year for me, spiritually. First time in 37 years I've had a spiritual "home". Feels great!

2005: This spring I'm taking our congregations "Building your own Theology" class. I suspect that'll have a pretty profound effect on the rest of my spiritual year! Ask me after that class what I'll want to say about 2005; I'm still unsure right now!
:-)

<<>>
* I have a whole new path!

<<>>
* I'm not sure WHAT my path is but I *do* plan to study with the order of the Rosicrucian this year. www.rosicrucian.org

<<>>
* Everyone should have time set aside for this IMO. It's REALLY difficult for me with 3 little ones. Used to be I'd soak in the tub at night after they were in bed but in our temporary place we have no bathtub only a shower. Hopefully we'll be in a permanent place soon!

<<>>
* I only need one word. Disintegration. My faith disintegrated - fell apart. This is not a bad thing IMO, my world just got turned on it's head is all. I'm glad! I was feeling some sadness, almost an innocence lost type of thing but pain is part of growth.

<<>>
* I hope to be able to use the words JOY, PEACE, LOVE, HEALING, COMMUNION those are all things I want for myself spiritually. Now I've got to go find them =)

Thanks Gypsy - this can be my meditation for the day....

To trust my intuition more - to accept the truth that I know internally even when it contradicts the "truth" I've been told I should accept.


Plan to study a new path/religion? Which one?


I'd like to study lots of them - but I will probably focus mainly on Gnosticism first.
