    Some of My Beliefs...

    Wednesday, July 16, 2008, 11:48 PM EST [General]

    I wouldn't necessarily say "strange", although they might be considered odd or off color to some other more traditionally focused persons.  Namely, any of these views are Directly related to my personal philosophies of life and I have had people "question" me about them...because they didn't see the logic, when really all they needed to do was understand the practicality of the system, rather than trying to justify it by way of some higher power.  I don't believe in karma, although I do believe in Newton's Laws of Motion...I don't believe in karma in the sense that Westerners use it, but I have no issues with the traditional Sanskrit origin of it (it means action).  I don't foster a believe in good and bad (in black and white terms)...I prefer to see all of the shades of gray/grey and the patterns and technicolor beyond.  I recognize the duplicity of everything...that whatever is, is also not.  I revere the concept of Chaos greatly, because to me it is the end all with anything...as was so poignantly put by Robert Burns, later adapted by Jon Steinbeck for a novel of his (Of Mice and Men), "the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry..."  And I fully support Murphy's Law...I mean who wouldn't !?  And I embrace Chaos in a rather brotherly fashion...which is beyond many people...I also see the "good" in that which is destructive, to include so called "negative" aspects of deital representations (plain English - god/dess figures.  I don't believe that anything is any more or less likely than anything else and that all things are possible, particularly if the right amount of force is put behind it...

    Makes perfect sense to me, but then again, being a Dark Pagan, I understand the need of balance.

    And here I was waiting for something weird. Sounds pretty normal to me... of course I'm weird... so maybe that doesn't count... but I do hold similar beliefs. =)

    I am so glad that I spent last Thursday chatting with a smart cookie, but I already thought that when we were chatting.

    Yes, this makes perfect sense to me as well. So many people are getting too bogged down by "karma". I mean, really now, sometimes things just happen. And sometimes "bad" luck actually saves you from a catastrophe. Hey, you can get a flat tire and be late for (fill-in-the-blank) only to find out later that there was a major incident on the route you were planning to take involving serious injuries. Or something like that.

    Gotta go light some Nag Champa - your favorite ... not!
