Your words are encouraging and rich. My daughter is very inspired as a woman reaching and exploring … your name embraces it all. “She desires truth” The word “desire” known as ‘Kli’ in the ancient Hebrew texts is “the desire to receive light and pleasure”.
I am so happy that you acknowledge your weaknesses as did the Apostle Paul and yet you do not suffer in that weakness. You embrace the light and find joy in your spiritual quest. Thank you for sharing that here with me. ~ Peace

I pray that as you continue to seek out his truth you continue to see his word without that filter that the world puts on it! The Bible was absolutely given to us for our lives to find peace, hope and love the things that we all truly and deeply search for. The world Filters his word, And I have seen much loss in our society because of this, I grew up, emotionally connected but not truthfully, I found truth and became afraid of the emotion, seeking truth, I found that spirit but in a different way, a less surface level, but a deeper more connected
Spirit that came through reliance on Christ, I don’t have all the answers either, but seeking them daily and applying the word of truth to my life, my Actions, and most importantly my heart (mind) I have found more peace than ever before! We tend to view each other as higher or lower than us, rather than equal the only greater is Christ our Lord, who walked on this earth and sacrifed himself and positioned himself lower than us all to teach us the greatest lesson of all, and that is how to love each other, Can I say again God is so good! The depths of his word are endless, and as we seek out the truth each day, we begin to understand more and more of his Truth and how that too is endless! if you ever have questions on Bible topics, seek them out with God through his word he will never fail you, we as people on the other hand fail each other daily,but we must seek to encourage each other, love one another, and humble ourselves to one another, or else we lack God! Challenge yourself, to walk through those difficult places, let yourself lean on God and he will give you strength like you wouldn’t believe!
“Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me-to keep me from exalting myself! Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭12:7-10
God Bless you and thank you for sharing your thoughts it is encouraging to see Seekers of the Truth!

Thank you for your kind words of collaboration. I am grateful that my words found their way to you. That they resonate as truth to you too brings me much joy. Please keep interacting with me here and with others like us who dare to challenge the limits of human intellect and the confines of structured thought. ~ Peace

Your integrity + bravery to step outside the comfort of our parent religion’s nest, to fly on your own, carries a life-giving inspiration. When the spirit of the reader or listener or seer observes the TRUTH in flight, it ignites our own spirit that identifies with that truth, coz it is essentially one with that truth, that truth that we need to breath, the be alive, but that has lain dormant probably most or all of our lives. Its love. We NEED each other, every part of God needs each other + gives life to each other. I only really feel alive when I speak MY faith from my heart. When even my body carries the creativity of the Creator, the Spirit. I just pray for guidance to know how to connect more with others like me, others who are open, open hearted, open to listen, to learn, from the Spirit

I am glad you found my story and my writings on the matter of spirituality. I hope you find it edifying and worthy of consideration. ~ Peace

I was born into fundamentalist Christianity and, essentially, suffered severe psychological damage which inhibited my personal growth for many years. It wasn’t until much later in life that I began a spiritual search devoid of doctrinal restrictions which gradually revealed truths that I could readily accept and implement into my life. I know my journey will not be over as long as I live. But now I look forward to each new day that reveals new truths which are truly beneficial to my progress..

Your words express a lot of what i am just beginning to discover about myself, about spirituality, and life. I feel as if there is some calling deep inside me, telling me to seek answers and truths, about seemingly everything. As a child, I always wanted answers too – i was one of those kids/students always needing an additional/deeper explanation to something, more detail and not just the “shortcut” answer. I had to be a frustration to teachers sometimes, always needing more insight. I’d say its been beneficial though, being that way, wanting answers and craving deeper meanings…
Spiritually, I have just started my journey of discovery. I realized in the beginning of this year that I was going through some sort of spiritual awakening. I’ve always embraced being intuitive, trusting my gut and sensing whats yet to come… However, it has been almost magnified, more intense, accurate even… I continue experiencing vivid dreams, patterns, foresights, odd series of events… Its an overwhelming feeling of being truthful to others and myself… embracing who I am, loving others unconditionally… I feel even more in touch with animals/nature then i was before (natural born animal lover). Its overwhelmingly refreshing but just as much mysterious and intimidating.
I have always questioned religion – the question of life after death, our creator? What to believe – we all wonder these things. What i have realized is that in life i must find those questions through seeking answers and discovery, in order to find my God. I have always felt his presence, however i have never been to church regularly, and in the past tended to get extremely uncomfortable during group prayers or say, at a friends house that prayed before eating.
I do pray, not daily, but when I feel it is time to get in touch with my inner self and god. The way you described it was perfect – our own inner beings are the connection to God, to feeling him, asking him for guidance, our forgiveness, for strength.
This to me is like my enlightenment. As i go through my transition into being a woman, I have learned so, so much. I just got my own place, working, getting back on track with myself and life, getting my school situation sorted out, and I am really starting to listen to myself and learn more and grow.
I feel as if I’m rambling, probably because I am just so caught off guard having stumbled across this blog and realizing it was definitely for a reason….its comforting knowing that I am not alone in this lifelong journey of discovering my spiritual self and spiritual duties.
Thank you for sharing this treasure with all of us 🙂
Happy soul searching
Rubie
