Path of Spirit

To be a spiritual person today, we need a Path of Spirit that speaks to who we are today. We need a path of equality.

1) Power belongs to all Brothers and Sisters in Humanity. True democracy happens at the grassroots and it is the power of the people to organize and make change happen in the world. Come together and stive for justice and equality.

2) All humanity is equal before God. This is true for women, men, children, Gay and Lesbian and all the creatures of the world. All humans are brothers and sisters and our family extends to creation with who we must have a true and pure relationship.

3) God is not God. Life itself is God. To serve God is to serve Life Itself. God is not being, but the ground of all being.

4) Prayer is remembering before God. Prayer is speaking from the depth of our humanity to invite true relationship with all our brothers and sisters in humanity, with creation, with our self and in all of this with God. Pray daily if you can, pray all day as you should. Prayer is faith in action, faith in reflection and faith in contemplation.

5) You are not a person alone. You are a person - a gifted individual - in relationship with all of humanity. You are a person in relationship with all of creation. Come together in community and strive for justice and celebrate Spirit in our day and age.

6) Observe spiritual and religious ritual. Worship with your community, hike in the woods or strive for justice. Engage in your daily routines as extensions of your spirituality. All of life is religious, and all of life is spiritual. Keep your sabbath!

7) Go on Pilgrimage. Go on holy journeys of contemplation or self-awareness. This can be a journey of self-discovery or a journey of seeking or remembering. Return home or visit a place of wonder. But go with openness.

8) You are the image of God and the body of God in the world. All of creation participating together is Gods body. Be a healthy body. Take care of all members of the body.

9) Give of yourself. All religions recognize the giving of three things for spiritual work: time, talent and treasure. Give of yourself in wasteful love to make the world a place of spirit.

10) There is no God but God and all of humanity lives in HerHim's being. All of humanity and all of creation are the body of God. God's name is spoken on the hearts of humanity.
