expressing your spirituality..

topic posted Tue, May 6, 2008 - 8:58 AM by  350ppm
Would you be willing to ask yourself:

How am I expressing my spirituality in this tribe?

How are my expressions likely to be interpreted?

what would I like of my fellow members?

what would they like of me?

what am I willing to give them?

    Give out freely, it's multiplied in the circuit before it gets back to you.

    If one is not willing, there is no circuit. No including the unwilling one, I mean.

        > How am I expressing my spirituality in this tribe?
        I do not express my spirituality. It's rude. This is the "crossroads of religion" tribe, not the "crossroads of spirituality" tribe.

        > How are my expressions likely to be interpreted?
        As generally hostile.

        > What would I like of my fellow members?
        Honest engagement.

        > what would they like of me?
        I am not sure, depends on what they ask for.

        > what am I willing to give them?
        Text.

          "This is the "crossroads of religion" tribe, not the "crossroads of spirituality" tribe."

          Actually, a lot of people consider "religion" and "spirituality" to be closely linked and it usually is not a problem to discuss either here.

          In fact if there are aspects of your "spirituality" that you have been holding back, I for one would find that very interesting to learn about - if you care to share.


          "> what am I willing to give them?
          Text."

          LOL!

              How am I expressing my spirituality in this tribe?

              i'm sure it can be bothersome of my long post and articles but its important for me to summarize the complete
              argument and the main points of the argument (i may or may not always agree with the topic)
              which usually take about 2 -3 post then i want to engage in dialogue debate challenge
              and most of all sincere inquisitive questioning for clarity...the secret to god star is love

              How are my expressions likely to be interpreted?

              bold, combative, spiritual, racist, argumentative, beautiful, illuminating, active, initiating, leading, independent, aggressive, impatient
              warrior, sincere, reactive, passionate, tiresome, repetitive, boring, dogmatic, bull headed, as a person who thinks he's always right, sensitive, resourceful, opinionated, caring, and loving...God Star*

              what would I like of my fellow members?

              hard challenges, passionate engaging debate, honesty, openness, inquiring question, willingness to grow willingness to show, to not make assumptions, forgiveness, compassion, understanding, and a sense of humor.

              what would they like of me?

              probably more of my own words and personal interaction, not so much posting articles, more understanding, more diplomacy,
              to show my spiritual experience instead of just talking or arguing about it in my exchanges ... to get off the white guilt trip, to let up on KMT,
              to have more empathy with Science and Atheist, to live and let live, to understand them better

              what am I willing to give them?
