spirituality

<p>them: spirituality is all about love and light and peace and harmony.</p><p>me, with my coven, visiting a deep dark caves inside the planet, on a trauma clearing meditation journey, gracefully shitting and throwing up black goo like a shit monsoon: love and light bro. 👊 <a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#spirituality</a></p>

<p>I&#x27;ve been doing a lot of thinking around the nature of trust. I received the highly beneficial advice to think over who the most trustworthy people actually are, in my life. A diagram that looks like a bullseye was drawn, and I was invited to fill in actual names of people I know - where do they belong within the rings of the bullseye? The people in the middle are the most trustworthy, and the outermost rings are where the least trustworthy names go.</p><p>It was difficult to decide who&#x27;s name belonged in which ring of the bullseye. So I assigned numbers to the rings of the bullseye. 1 was in the middle, 9 was right outside the bullseye. I then made a list of all the people I knew. I assigned them all numbers, then thought over the numbers, occasionally changing a number a little more or less.</p><p>When I was finished, I described the meaning of all the numbers, 1 through 9. This labeling made the most sense to me, to give more meaning to these numbers. Here they are:</p><p>1. Deep trust. Someone who totally accepts you as you are.</p><p>2. Someone who wouldn&#x27;t betray you, has affinity with you, but you can&#x27;t say they totally accept you as you are. They&#x27;d like to see you change.</p><p>3. A friend with a solid character, but affinity? Maybe.</p><p>4. A &quot;fair-weather friend&quot;.</p><p>5. Any random stranger on the street. No positive or negative to speak of; still undefined and mysterious. No basis of judgement yet.</p><p>6. Negativity starts here, but it&#x27;s very subtle and insidious; well hidden. Psychological predation and deception begins here. Plays mind games. Wants to come out looking better than you. Is certainly a &quot;frenemy&quot; or perhaps even worse, wants to turn you into a &quot;flying monkey&quot;. A 6 has the mind of a perfect salesman or ambassador. Uses a lot of paltering; deceptive framing of everything. Plays on emotions a lot, seldom facts, unless they fit a narrative.</p><p>7. Corrupt. Has a mind of a racketeer.</p><p>8. Sketchy. Criminality begins here.</p><p>9. Predator. DANGEROUS</p><p><a href="/tags/friendship/" rel="tag">#friendship</a> <a href="/tags/psychology/" rel="tag">#psychology</a> <a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#spirituality</a> <a href="/tags/trust/" rel="tag">#trust</a> <a href="/tags/selfcare/" rel="tag">#SelfCare</a></p>

<p>I truly believe that Tradition is a balm for our broken world and us as individuals. </p><p><a href="/tags/tradition/" rel="tag">#Tradition</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/anglican/" rel="tag">#Anglican</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/christian/" rel="tag">#Christian</a> <a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#Spirituality</a> </p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/radically-traditional" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/radically-traditional"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/radica</span><span class="invisible">lly-traditional</span></a></p>

<p>American political thought is marred by either-or thinking. This way of thinking has nothing to do with ableist notions of intelligence, that &quot;life of the mind&quot; which elites think will save us, but instead has everything to do with life of the heart. Not everything is a trolley problem. In the words of Thich Nhat Hanh, &quot;One arrow can save two birds at the same time—if the arrow strikes the branch, both birds will fly away.&quot; How will you shoot your arrow?</p><p><a href="/tags/uspol/" rel="tag">#uspol</a> <a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#spirituality</a> <a href="/tags/antifa/" rel="tag">#antifa</a></p>

<p>Let’s get a little weird for the weekend! This is my first longer blog post and I’ve been doing a fair bit of reflection on <a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#Theology</a> and <a href="/tags/technology/" rel="tag">#Technology</a> these days…</p><p><a href="/tags/jesus/" rel="tag">#Jesus</a> <a href="/tags/christian/" rel="tag">#Christian</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/linux/" rel="tag">#Linux</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/weird/" rel="tag">#Weird</a> <a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#Spirituality</a> </p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/gods-technology" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/gods-technology"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/gods-t</span><span class="invisible">echnology</span></a></p>

<p>&quot;Spirituality isn&#x27;t religion. Religion divides people. Belief in something unites people.&quot;</p><p><a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#Spirituality</a> <a href="/tags/belief/" rel="tag">#Belief</a> <a href="/tags/unity/" rel="tag">#Unity</a></p>

<p>Today I looked at a rug and reveled in the human urge to make cool little shapes and patterns. </p><p>I think that&#x27;s <a href="/tags/3goodthings/" rel="tag">#3GoodThings</a>. Rugs, humans, and patterns.</p><p><a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#spirituality</a></p>

<p>Sometimes you just need to sit and think, space out, process. You might call it executive dysfunction, boredom, laziness. Or you could call it sitting, contemplating, recovering. </p><p>It may be all those things, but it doesn&#x27;t matter. So just allow yourself to rest.</p><p><a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#spirituality</a> <a href="/tags/rest/" rel="tag">#rest</a></p>

<p>So my piece on the Holy Innocents a few weeks or so back garnered a little bit of discussion. So I figured it was worthwhile to follow that up with a longer essay on the nature of Truth in scripture that, I hope, will help enrich folks&#x27; appreciation of the Bible.</p><p><a href="https://catecheticconverter.com/deeper-than-fact-on-fiction-and-truth-in-scripture" rel="nofollow" class="ellipsis" title="catecheticconverter.com/deeper-than-fact-on-fiction-and-truth-in-scripture"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">catecheticconverter.com/deeper</span><span class="invisible">-than-fact-on-fiction-and-truth-in-scripture</span></a></p><p><a href="/tags/bible/" rel="tag">#Bible</a> <a href="/tags/episcopal/" rel="tag">#Episcopal</a> <a href="/tags/anglican/" rel="tag">#Anglican</a> <a href="/tags/church/" rel="tag">#Church</a> <a href="/tags/christianity/" rel="tag">#Christianity</a> <a href="/tags/theology/" rel="tag">#Theology</a> <a href="/tags/spirituality/" rel="tag">#Spirituality</a> <a href="/tags/imabelieverintheideathatfactorfictionwassomethingrikerdidontheholodeckforfun/" rel="tag">#ImABelieverInTheIdeaThatFactOrFictionWasSomethingRikerDidOnTheHolodeckForFun</a></p>

<p>After many weeks (has it been months?) I have a new entry on the blog!

<p>Decided to write another thing about <a href="/tags/surfing/" rel="tag">#surfing</a> and what it means to my life. Also, the header photo is of me surfing!
