It’s been awhile…
since I’ve updated the blog. I guess the biggest reason is that I feel like I have nothing intelligent to say.
So many people know so much more than I do. For the most part, I enjoy just going to the forums, reading other people’s thoughts and opinions and then doing some background reading on where the ideas/opinions came from.
Lately there has been quite a bit of discussion as to what Gnosticism actually is. Perhaps we should come up with some sort of consensus for the board and post it. This could be a good thing, or a bad thing.
When I started along this path, not really knowing what it was, I had many questions. And I felt stupid asking them, because they seemed so simple. So instead, I just read forums, and sites and tried to gather what I could from it all. I realize now that it is a very personal journey. But I hope people can come to our forums and get a bit of an idea. Maybe a certain path will appeal to one , more than another. That is fine. The whole point is in getting information out there, and creating an environment where people don’t feel stupid in asking.
I came here from a pagan perspective, and in many ways it was lonely.
No deity to call my name, no exoteric individual to hold my hand…. it is all coming from within. From within me. If I hear my name being called, it is my own divine self, helping to guide me home.
And this brings up other issues. My Canadian Pagan message board. Do I still consider myself pagan? Not in the sense of one who follows god/desses. I still honour nature as a natural , non man-made experience. A connection to the Divine within that is not altered by ego. But it is not Paganism… so what is it exactly? I try to find the words to explain to those whom I brought with me into my Pagan sphere. But I do not really know the words.
All I know is what I feel in my heart.
My love for the Divine. My need to realize the Christos/Jesus. And my need to listen to the Hagia Sophia.
