"Acceptance is the key to all of our problems." I am unsure of anyone else's views on this subject, but I found that this philosophy works quite well in my own life. I am totally powerless over people, places, and situations. But I do know that the Supreme Intelligence has power over all. It has been said that after Jesus left the earth that no more miracles would occur. I myself don't believe this as God has given us tools and spiritual gifts that we ignore. We all have spiritual gifts that we do not use. Why is this? People have accepted the fact and it is such an archaic thought that they are unworthy. Boy am I glad I left Catholicism! I began my spiritual studies many years ago. God is about Spirituality, not religion. Religion is man-made! God brought us here to learn and live lessons for Spiritual Evolvement. I am one of the many few who uses and practices my spiritual gifts on a daily basis. I prayed to my Higher Self to send others like me so that we could share knowledge and teach eachother about the Spiritual gifts. My prayer was answered. Since moving to North Carolina, I have met a dozen or so people who are working towards Spiritual Evolvement. I am stil amazed at how many people believe in that "Hell, Fire, and Brimstone" ideology that is as old as our dear Mother Earth. The reason I wrote this post, I am attempting to start a Spiritual Revolution so people will wake up and get in touch with their own Spirits and their true God. In my previous dealings with the Catholic Church, I felt my true God and realized that the church has so much power and control over other people's Spirits. As an adult, my gifts were signaling me that I need to pay attention to them, use them, and develop them. I can honestly say that by doing this, my Spirit is truly free today. Pay attention to that Belly Barometer as your true God put it there for when you don't pay attention to your other spiritual signals! Peace and love to you all!
